    A theme that was developed in the book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton is even when the ones you love act like they despise you they act like that because they love and want to make something out of you and make you a better person. S.E. Hinton puts a lot of signposts in the book. One type of signpost used by Hinton is words of the wiser. This is seen on page fifty, “Darry wheeled around and slapped me so hard that it knocked me against the door.” The signpost not only shows the love and care he has for Ponyboy, but anger he was feeling. The anger was caused because Ponyboy came home late. Darry slapped Pony because of anger and love. Darry loves Pony and was worried about him and he wants to make sure he doesn’t do it again.

Closely behind, the fan boys and girls admiring the fame of the spot lighted teens of high school. The fictional idea of what a high school in America is like isn’t completely true. There are the queen bees and the wannabes, the cost of friendship, and the cruelty of girls.

    As I was pulling my right arm back to the side of my body, Joseph caught me. His right hand caught a very firm grip on my skinny right arm. He dirty, long nails started stabbing into my arm. He brought up his left hand to get an even firmer grasp on my arm, making sure that I would have no way of slipping away from his grasp. He elevated my arm so that it was closer to his face, he opened his mouth and he put my arm into his mouth, biting me. I was so mad to the point where I couldn’t even think of the pain he just brought to my arm. I pulled my arm away from him, his mouth still closed on my arm. His teeth grinded across my arm, causing some slight bleeding. When I finally got my arm back, I smacked him across the face. My tiny hands doing nothing to harm his body.The only thing my hands did was anger him even more. He stood up, grabbed my head, and slammed it on the corner of the table. I didn’t know what I could do that would hurt him more than he had just hurt me. I decided he had won the fight.
