    Mandala Project In S.E Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, the character Darry is profoundly different on the outside than on the inside. To begin with, Darry is like a wolf on the exterior, but more like a puppy on the inside. Darry is like a wolf because he is protective of his family, fierce and angry under a cool exterior. For example, he is protective and angry when he yells at and hits Pony when they are arguing after Pony falls asleep in the lot. On the other hand, he is like a puppy in that he is vulnerable.…

    The real main character of The outsiders is still Ponyboy. After all it seems like he wrote the book because of one full circle quote. “ When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home…” (Pg 1 and 180). In addition to having him write the book he is ultimately the main character because it is written from his point of view. For example, almost every line in the book has him thinking in it or describing something through his eyes. “I had walked down…” (Pg 31) or “...this church gave me a creepy feeling.” (Pg 67). All in all Ponyboy has changed as a character through the book and is indeed the main character.…

    Throughout the Outsiders novel, one can see that despite everything that Johnny has done, he was still considered a hero. At the start of the book, Johnny was very modest and would never move out of his comfort zone. However, as the novel proceeds, he developed into a complex hero because of his courage, responsibility, and acts of kindness. In the book The Outsiders, it has been proven that a hero may be found in the most unlikely of individuals, including supposedly introverted boys, like Johnny Cade.…

    Johnny Cade, the sympathetic and lovable character from the classical realistic fiction novel “The Outsides” by renowned author S.E. Hinton is one of the most complex and confusing characters in the novel. Johnny is a very special character because he is so different in so many ways to the other protagonists in this novel. He himself who is both quiet and passive is forced to take refuge with the violent and active gang of the greasers by his abusive family. Throughout the novel he is the main catalysis of most of the major events in the novel, through his small acts of courage, he leads both himself and Ponyboy into a whirlwind of adventure including murder, death and heroism making him one of the most loved character of the novel. One of the…

    One similarity between the story of Johnny Bear and the novella of Of Mice and Men is the description of Johnny Bear and Lennie. An interesting description on p. 2 of Johnny Bear describes Johnny Bear as a “great, stupid, smiling bear”. This description is parallel to the one in Of Mice and Men. “Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws.” (Steinbeck, p.2, Of Mice and Men) In both texts, Lennie and Johnny Bear paired with the animalistic nature of a bear. Besides both of them being compared to bears, both Lennie and Johnny Bear are portrayed as half wits or dimwits. “He stood in the doorway, swinging his arms jerkily the way half-wits do.” (Steinbeck, p.2, Johnny Bear) “The poor bastard’s nuts.” (Steinbeck, p.98, Of Mice and Men) In both texts, these characters are sentenced to aloneness because of their mental challenges.…

    Although I thought they were two very different movies. To my surprise, 'Grease' and 'The Outsiders' do have some very similar characteristics. Even though the genres are different, they have similar themes. Not surprisingly, sound and lighting had almost no similarities. However; camerawork is very similar at various points of the two films.…

    How can two people with completely different personalities have so much alike? It is almost impossible, but in S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders, it is not possible. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston are similar because both characters have uncaring parents and they care for each other. With all the similarities they have their many differences, Johnny is the most law abiding and Dally is the least and their personalities are nothing alike. Thus, Dallas and Johnny have significant similarities and huge differences.…
