It's been thirteen years today, living life run by the same things, same rules, same everything. Us young kids, living in such an appalling world but still having to fight destructive people. Or so we thought. I Jackson Worton don’t think there’s anything wrong with the outsiders, it always seems like it’s us fighting them not them fighting us. We have to travel through this insane wacky portal that makes your head spin round and round to get to the War Zone. Our rulers tell us that the outsiders are disgusting and cruel people, only wanting to capture young kids to make them their slaves. I am quite different to the other boys. Yep that's right no girls just a world with only boys training to fight in wars. Out there somewhere is each and …show more content…
Everyone asks me about my blue eyes, you wouldn't think I'd have them. I’m currently growing up in a world I feel like is not evident, everything I've been told is just a myth. Today is my birthday, November 25th 2088 and it's just like any other day. We wake up at 4:30 weekdays and 7:30 on the weekends. I share a room with my good mates Oscar, William and Billy. They call me crazy sometimes but it doesn't really bother me. Each day we do 3 hours of training, T Machines” is what I like to call our rulers, their tall bizzarre looking things with robotic voices but controlled by something I don't know. The young boys get really scared of them but I don't blame them , they are just pure evil. When we line up for our first hour of training in dirty big rooms with massive stages , they call out our names and each day if we don't say our prayer correctly you have to do 35 push ups that get harder each time, most of the guys don't complete it and get sent away for extra work. Somehow I memorised that foolish prayer on the first day I opened my eyes in this place but still seemed to mess it up a couple of times. I don't remember how I got here, in fact I don't think anyone does. One day you just wake up and you're here, thinking that this is going to be terrific, except it's really …show more content…
It’s probably my dumb hormones messing with me or something like that. As William, Oscar, Billy and I head out to our 3 hours of miserable training I see something really odd. At first I didn't really pay any attention to it until it got bigger. It was this big dazzling ball floating in the middle of the air. I turned to the guys and asked if they could see it. As they turned around and looked their faces dropped. There was one side of me telling myself to run and the other somehow wanting me to get closer. Billy told us we should go over and check while William and Oscar wanted to run. We all decided to walk over slowly in case it's some creature thing that could be a threat to our world. When we finally got to it, in the middle there was a family with two adults and one young boy.It seems like it's a memory or something. In fact it looked a bit like Billy, we look over at Billy and he looks like he could collapse any moment. His face was all pale like Dracula mixed with a zombie. A couple of minutes go by of just us standing there in complete shock. Oscar is known as the fearful one who's a bit of a suck up towards our so called ‘rulers’. Billy walks closer to it in fear, it almost seems like something is controlling him to do it. As he gets closer it starts moving like it wants us to follow it. Most guards are already on duty training the poor kids but I'm startled at how no one sees us
The Outsiders is about how you choose to view people and how you think of certain social groups.
In S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders Socs and Greasers are enemies. Society put them against each other and labeled them. Greasers are the poor, dirty, no-good kids that nobody wants around. Socs are stuck-up, perfect, rich kids who looks down on everybody. In the book, two boys- Johnny and Ponyboy- start some trouble with a couple of Socs, and Bob is killed. They have to run from the police, all while the tension between Greasers and Socs is thicker than ever. Throughout the novel, it explains how “things are rough all over”. The Greasers have it the worse because they feel emotions so harshly, they are constantly getting jumped by the Socs, and they only have each other because their families are broken.
Among the themes from The Outsiders is a story that has rivalry, personalities, coming together, and much more. For example, don’t give up on life, or even people can surprise you. These two themes are huge. Another huge theme is that step back and see the big pictures. There are so many other themes that go with the book it’s not just those. There are also lots of songs to go with the book. For example, “ God Gave Me You” by Blake Shelton. “ God Gave Me You” shows the theme, and Dally’s personality.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a late 60’s novel about a young 14 year old kid named Ponyboy. He is part of a hood group on the eastside of town called the greasers that to him are closer than family.

Neil Barringham once said, “The grass is not greener on the other side, it is green where you water it”. The film The Outsiders really resonates with this quote. It tells a story of two groups of ignorant teenagers who allow their socioeconomic differences impede their relationship. Little do they know, they share the same problems and live in the same world. Like the quote says, the grass is green where one waters it but they do, in fact, share the same yard. One of the most prominent themes in The Outsiders is empathy. What the characters experience on screen is a very common problem today. Adolescents struggle to empathize with others. Teenagers that watch this film will find that they have been in similar situations or have felt the same

I feel as though the novel The outsiders has many themes, but the most important one is belonging. The greasers are a group of poor, low class youth that don’t have much and live on the wrong side of town. They are always held accountable for their actions. On the other hand, the Socs are a bunch of high class youth that are very privileged and aren’t held accountable for their immature actions.
The Outsiders is a book that changed the style of young adult writers because it went off from the genre that young adult writer were using during that time period. The reader sees the everyday problems that teenagers were going through, “I can’t take much more Johnny spoke my own feelings I’ll kill myself or something” (Hinton 47). Johnny felt unloved because his parents treat him bad and say hurtful things to him, but when Johnny is with the gang he feels loved because they embrace him, and let him stay at their house if he cannot bear to go home to his parents. So many writers were use to telling fairy tells and fables, the realism of the outsiders made it the first of its kind during the time period it was written. Todd Howard points this out in his book Understanding The Outsiders, “ Thus the overwhelming commercial success that The Outsiders enjoyed among teens shortly after its first publication, it sent astonished publishers scurrying to find writers who could duplicate the novel’s formula and gave a pause to literary critics” (Howard 8). Authors in the early sixty’s never thought about writing a book showing the gang and social class differences, and this is why The Outsiders was a successful book because it opened people’s eyes to the problems some...
