In The Outsiders Ponyboy recites a poem on page 77. I believe that the meaning of this poem is that not everything is meant to last.

Plants in nature grow old and slowly wither away‚ as time goes

My definition of a hero is someone who is selfless‚ kind‚ brave‚ someone who helps people‚ and someone who risks their lives for others. I think that Johnny best fits this description

The Outsiders The Outsiders is both a great book and a great movie. Although they are both very great‚ they are not completely the same‚ or completely different. A book that turns into a movie usually has way more information because the person writing the book isn’t just going to make it a movie line for line.
