Theme For The Outsiders

The theme of "the Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton is you can depend on friends. "the Outsiders" is about two teenage groups that are constantly fighting over there differences. One of those two groups are called the Socs, these are the rich and popular kids at the school. The other group the Greasers are what you would call the not so popular kids that are always getting in trouble, or so everyone assumes. My first reason that you can depend on friends is a purposeful claim is, because when Bob( a Soc) was trying to drown Pony-Boy in the fountain, Johnny killed Bob. Obviously this isn't a good thing but it was either Bob or Pony-Boy. In the text on page 51 it says "Bob, the handsome Soc, was lying there in the moonlight doubled up and still." After
