    Mercer commits suicide because technology managed to find him even though he tried his best to live as isolated as possible. I believe that Mae was justified because she did not believe that Mercer would go through such drastic measures. I agree with Bailey in which “ there he was, alone in a cabin. Of course he’s going to get depressed, and work himself into a state of madness and paranoia” (468). I think Mercer was possibly suffering from Madness and depression and that it was not Mae’s fault that he committed suicide.…

    Believe it or not, everyone is an outsider; moreover so are you. “The Outsiders”, a novel written by S.E Hinton, took place in the 1960’s Tulsa, Oklahoma. When Hinton was 17 years old, out of anger she wrote this book about the differences between two unique teenage social groups: the greasers and the Soc (Doc A). She illustrates that the outsiders are the people who stand out from the rest of society by thought or action. Both the greasers and the Soc can be considered outsiders, but as the story goes on, we realize the real outsiders are the ones who can see each individual in the groups for who they really are.…

    This book speaks well to young readers because of its idealism, honesty, and sincerity. Hinton took all her child life experiences and put them into writing. Her works were so appealing that "The Outsiders can be thought to be the best-selling young adult novel of all time, it has the appeal to teens and their genre. It adapted into both a prime-time television series and a movie" (Howard 8-9). Hinton has her own style, "Hinton introduces the young people who live in the bad parts of town and their behavior reflects their sense of dignity and self-worth" (Howard 62). Mostly she liked to write about boys, she wrote about gangs. To boys this was exciting because most has never been around any gangs."This story is exciting and those difficult-to-serve kids at the culturally detached bottom of society can respond to this book, decency of the Urban Slum characters, who are nearly but not yet hopeless" (Howard 62). Howard explains this way, " Ponyboy's hair was greased and long, today it might be shaved or dyed. There are still 14-yr-old 'greasers' who do…

    Rhonheimer sees why a HIV-infected husband would choose to wear a condom. An accurate representation of the practical reasoning of the husband, as exhibited in what he does in choosing to wear a condom, would be along the following lines: I must wear a condom in order to ejaculate into it rather than into my wife’s vagina so as to prevent the transmission of HIV The “so as to” identifies the further intention with which he chooses to wear the condom; the immediate object of his choice is that of ensuring ejaculation into the condom rather than into his wife’s vagina. Gormally seeks to show that an essential element of the behavioral pattern required for intercourse to be of the generative kind is ejaculation by the man into the woman’s reproductive…

    Dear Megan, I am currently reading the book The Outsiders, and while reading I concluded that it would be the perfect fit for you. I have known you for the greater part of my life and you have been in all of my reading/LA classes (up until this year), therefore, I know what kind of books you enjoy and I expect this would be one of them. I trust you would enjoy this book because it has segregation, high stakes, and strong friends and family bonds. I know these are specific qualities that you have enjoyed in previous books, so based on this I believe you should give this one a try! Now before I tell you to just go on and read it, I feel it is necessary for me to give you some background knowledge about this book. The Outsiders features…
