Nice Places In The Outsiders
I feel that in life it is important to feel comfortable in the world, to feel freedom and happiness in nice places. For example in “ The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton the main character expresses that life in the country would be far superior to that of the city. So ask yourself the same question, where do you think you would be the most happy? Personally I feel comfortable by a lake in a small cabin where you are free to explore and enjoy the fresh air. In conclusion I think that you should go and find a place in the world that is right for you. To travel to in order to find peace.

    The Outsiders Book Report

    I chose the quote,"You cannot open a book without learning something" by the Irish proverb because I can relate it to my favorite book,"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton which taught me lots of stuff that I did not know about. The book is about a 14 year old named Ponyboy and his two brothers Darry who is 16 and Sodapop who is 20 years old. Darry is in charge of them due to both of his parents dying in a car accident. They are all greasers in a gang and often watch over Johnny ,who is another greaser, because his alcoholic parents abuse him. They also have a gang rivalry with the Socs who are rich and pick on the poor.…

    The Outsiders Book And Movie

    However, The Outsiders movie was very interesting, the novel portrayed the story line better in my opinion. For one the novel is more detailed such as when Johnny got jumped by Bob and three of his Soc friends, but the movie does not. Also, the novel describes in chapter 4 page 53 that there is a swimming pool at the park but they movie shows nothing about there being a pool there. In addition, the novel also states when Dallas Winston takes Ponyboy and Johnny to Dairy Queen they sit in the Restaurant, but in the movie, they do not. Lastly, those are the few reasons why the novel is better than the movie.…

    Families In The Outsiders

    Sometimes, just because you may be related to a person, it doesn't make them family. This was a theme that was beaten into to us throughout the story of the Outsiders. So many characters dealt with fathers beating them, mothers turning a blind eye, whether it was from sheer will or from drug abuse. The “Greasers” and the “Socs” both had to deal with parents abandoning them, being neglected, and not having parents there when their own children needed them most. It seemed like if you had a kid in this story that was even a little essential to the plot, you were the epitome of bad parenting.…
