"Outsiders-by SE Hinton"


Significanse-

this book is valuable because of what the author is trying to send out to the world. I thought she was trying to show how bad life can get and how much better it can get. She also told her readers dont waiste your life you never know when your lie will end.. In the book the "Greasers" have a total rage our rivalry with the "Socs". The main character was Ponyboy who was struggling to ind the good things in life. I cared about this piece because of the way the Greasers cared about each other even if they Cared in a weird way.


Perspective-

In this book your focus is on the "Greasers" the Brutal, poor, North side of the city. I thought they were the side that always liked to live on the edge people. But of course there always has to be one oddball out of the different greasers... Ponyboy while the normal Greaser would care about a girl and a car Pony boy was the kind of guy that was a book reade type wich came in handy when he was hdeing away with Johny because of a previous Murder.

So on the other side of town was the "Socs" The Socs are the south side part of the city wich is the rich and wealthy pretty much the almost oppisate side of the Greasers.


Evidence-

This book has good and bad parts like when PonyBoy and Johny take on Socs and win. This shows how much Johny cares for PonyBoy because hes willing to fight and risk his life for a good friend. I think the author is trying to Show how bad some people had their lives and how good others were. In the book the Greasers got it bad because one they might have to share and or steal to get what they need and two they might have bad families because of the way their neiborhood is. But on the other hand there are the Socs wich they have good lives because 1 they have new cars new things and more expensive and two they just got it good, and everyone seems to like them.


Connection-

In the book Pony and Johny took a walk finding Socs in their way The Socs tried to beat them up and torch Pony as much as they could but As touph as Pony tried to be he couldnt fight for himself but luckly his buddy Johny was ready for battle took out a knife and scared them all of acsept one the dead one but because of that murder Johny and Pony Had to hide away to make sure they wouldnt get casupht.So these parts of the book link into each other.


Supposition-

If you changed this book into a different situation I dont think anything would really change becasue in the story they stould for each other no matter what even if they were scared to death. If the greasers and the socs never got into the fight at the end they would always have a rivalry but since it did happen at least they both understand eachother now.
