The sky was fading it’s original color and all of the sudden there was darkness all around us. In that moment we knew that the rumble was about to start. We all heading where the fight was about to began that when we met all of our gang. The greasers were ready to fight then the socs were already arriving in their mustangs. “Hey ponyboy stand behind me alright,” I said. “Yes Darry I will be okay,” Ponyboy stated. I was making sure that my baby brother was okay. I can not loose my baby brother just like I lost my parents. I promise them I will take care of them no matter what happens. The greasers and the socs were ready to start the rumble. Suddenly Dally came to join us that is when we started to fight. Tiny drops of water was starting to
It rained really hard and there was lots of thunder and lightning. The cattle were running scared all over. After the storm, Titus discovered his brother (Micah) stuck under a wagon, dieing. He finally was able to pull his brother out with the help of his horse. Titus buried his brother and said some good words about him before he returned back to the other ranchers. He then pulled the ranchers together. Then, when they were really close to the Homestead Meat Company where they would sell the cattle, they ran into cowdiggers which were going to steal some of their cattle. Then gunfire takes place, the cowdiggers leave, but Titus got shot. Wounded he still pushes on. They finally make it and return home with 200 dollars. When Titus returns home, his father finally accepts him as his son. This is about the whole story summed up into one paragraph. In this speech I will be doing the interview as the main character
In chapter one we are introduced to our narrator, Ponyboy. Ponyboy is raised by his two older brothers Darry and Soda. They’re all apart of a gang called the “greasers” which is joined by Dally, Johnny, Two-bit, and Steve. There is another group called “ socs” which stands for socials, and everyone in that group is very wealthy. One day Ponyboy got jumped by a socs group, but luckily Darry was there to help before anything too serious happened. The first element of literature is characterization. Ponyboy is a keen observer, trying to make sense of the complexities of those around him. At the beginning of the story, he stops and spends several pages giving us brief character description on Steve, Two-Bit, Dally, and Johnny. This is also known as direct characterization. He tells us that Steve is "cocky and smart" ( Hinton 9). Two-Bit can 't stop joking around and goes to school for "kicks" (Hinton 10) rather than to learn. Dallas, he says, is "tougher, colder, meaner" ( Hinton 10) than the rest of them.
First, Johnny and Dally both die tragically after making unwise decisions in their lives. Johnny died while rescuing children from a burning church and in the eyes of the rescued children’s parents was a hero. But reluctantly this was not the case. In fact, Johnny had just killed a rival member from the Soc’s in self-defense. After which Johnny tells Ponyboy “‘I killed him,’ he said slowly. ‘I killed that boy.’ As Bob, the handsome Soc was lying there in the moonlight a dark pool growing
The story The Outsiders By S.E Hinton is said to be “timeless” because kids can relate to the characters and themes of the story. In my opinion the story The Outsiders is not timeless because kids these days can’t relate to the characters in the story The Outsiders. Kids today aren’t riding in rodeos, roll drunks, jump smaller kids, walk to a stranger's house, or get in a stranger’s car, also they get arrested at the age of 10. Saying the statement “The Outsiders is a “timeless” book “ is an invalid statement. So, Kids today often don’t relate to The Outsiders anymore in many ways.
Is it better to be an individual or conform to expectations just to fit in like others? This choice is faced by Ponyboy Curtis, the narrator, throughout S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders. He belongs to the Greasers, a group of delinquent friends, who are viewed by many as poor and dangerous, while the rival Socs are viewed as rich, smart, and powerful causing the Greasers to envy them. Ponyboy learns from Randy Adderson, a Soc who is trapped by stereotype threat, that their lives are not as perfect as he expected it to be and they too face problems. In addition, Ponyboy tries to act tough and fit in with the rest of gang, but his Greaser companions, such as Two-Bit Matthews, teach him to embrace his own characteristics which sets him apart from
“Stay gold Ponyboy stay gold.” A young boy said this while he was on his deathbed but who was it?
Good Morning, Today I will be presenting a monologue about the decision to not go to the rumble by Randy Adderson in the novel, The Outsiders.
All people are influenced by other people's opinions or thoughts. When we hear someone’s thinking, we tend to consider it, especially if we are in denial or reconsidering something. In the novel, The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, some characters make Ponyboy realize that Socs are no different than the Greasers and there is no need to fight. Their thoughts and opinions affect the way Pony looks at things. Although there are several characters that talk to him and make him rethink his opinions, there were three main influencers: Randy, Johnny, and Cherry. Randy and Johnny allow Pony to recognize that fighting is useless, and Cherry lets him see that Socs are very similar to Greasers. These characters help Pony understand that we are all the same
The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma during the mid 1960s. The
“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.” -Ponyboy. (1) Those are the first words of Ponyboys essay, The Outsiders. The Outsiders is an astounding book written in 1967 by S.E.Hinton. Since 1967, The Outsiders have accumulated mass fame with its loveable characters and astounding plotline. Throughout the years multiple Broadway plays and movies have been made on account of The Outsiders. Many people would rather watch the movie rather than read the book but, the book is much more detailed and keeps your attention more than the movie does. This essay I will be comparing the difference in the book to the movie and even though the book and the movie were made by two different people, they still share many similarities with a few hidden difference every here and there.
This is a quote from the first two paragraphs of the opening chapter of Howard S Becker’s profound book, “The Outsiders”. This was his first book and is probably the best authority to reference Becker’s views on deviance:
Outsiders are the ones who do not belong to certain groups. They have a propensity for being isolated by the society they live in. Outsiders in literature, however, are likely to affect their communities. In The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Junior redefines what it means to be an Indian by transferring to a mostly white high school; being a gypsy and a foster child, Heathcliff, as illustrated in Wuthering Heights, eventually becomes a possessor of a considerable fortune; the evangelists in Things Fall Apart gain converts when they challenge the Ibo religion by displaying the absurdity of prophecies they make. According to the examples above, outsiders usually have significant impacts on the community because they challenge
The Outsiders is about the life of a 14-year-old boy. The book tells the story of Ponyboy “Curtis” and his struggles with right and wrong in a society in which he believes that he is an outsider. Ponyboy and his two brothers, Darrel (Darry), who is 20, and Sodapop, who is 16, have recently lost their parents in an automobile accident. Pony and Soda are allowed to stay under Darry's guardianship as long as they all behave themselves. The boys are greasers, a class term that refers to the young men on the East Side, the poor side of town. The greasers' rivals are the Socs, short for Socials, who are the "West-side rich kids."
The drive to my parent’s house was filled with silence between me and Cade. His left elbow resting on the door panel, right hand draped over the steering wheel he looked deep in thought. Everything about him was all man, he oozed sex and confidence. I looked away when he turned and looked at me, smiled weakly and started to say something then shook his head and turned his eyes back to the road.
If you were to walk into a high school lunchroom, what is the first thing you would see? Groups, cliques, friend circles, and separations. Tables split up in detached formations, almost completely unaware of the other surrounding pupils nearby. The most common groups in high school are the populars and the outcasts. The kids who have endless friends, engage in team sports, and meet the ideal teenage standards, against the ones who are quiet, solitary, and unconventional. The ones that are outcasts fall into the second description. They don’t line up with society's norms therefore, they tend to be looked upon as bizarre and atypical. Outsiders are too often misjudged and misunderstood
