An outsider usually is someone that is not with a group or a person that’s separates themselves from a group or society. Maybe the Greasers and Ponyboy are outsiders. They might be outsiders because they have long hair that they never wash. Maybe they’re outsiders because they don 't have money like most the Socs do. Maybe they’re outsiders because they don 't wear fancy clothes and drive fancy corvettes to school. But I don 't think it 's fair to judge someone just because they have long hair that hasn 't been bathed in years. They should judge someone on their personality or how they are on the inside. Like how Cherry didn 't go oh god it 's the greasers we better leave although she knew greasers had a bad background she stayed and got a
Johnny Cade was the only one that Dallas had in life, and after he died Dallas didn't have anybody. Dallas even said that johnny was like a little brother to him. Dally knew what he wanted after the death of Johnny: He wanted to die. He pulled an unloaded gun in order to force the police to shoot him. The fact that his gang witnessed the death of their second gang member in one day suggests that perhaps the circle of light was for them.

“Running away won 't help.” Johnny was right. Ponyboy had people that loved and cared for him... they just didn 't know how to show it!” In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, proves that no matter what type of Social class you are; Greaser or Socs, family is most important and will help you get through the difficult parts in life.
A central conflict for Ponyboy in The Outsiders is his worry for his family and friends. For instance, Ponyboy really worries about Johnny and Dally when they are in the hospital. This interprets that Ponyboy can’t stand to live without them or see them badly hurt. In other words, Pony loves his family and friends and if one dies everyone will be depressed and uncomfortable. Another example is that Ponyboy also gets to know Bob and Randy, and how they were good guys to hang around with.
It is about how a gang of low-income teens, the Greasers, conflicts with another gang of wealthy teens, the Socs. By being loyal to each other, the Greasers have overcome most of the challenges that the Socs have proposed. This is why the major theme of The Outsiders is that loyalty is essential for a group’s survival and well-being. One way that loyalty is demonstrated in the novel is how the characters grouped together to protect one another from physical threats. An example of this is when Ponyboy was mugged and beat up by the Socs at the beginning the book.
The Outsiders In my opinion, I think that I can relate to Ponyboy. I think this because like Ponyboy I am caring, respectful, responsible, and could be rough at times. If I were in his situation of Johnny’s death and Dally’s death I would feel the same. Johnny did die a hero but Dally died because he wanted to and was just mad and devastated about Johnny’s death.
Introduction There were many characters in the outsiders that proved themselves to be heroes. A hero is someone who can make decisions in a tough situation that will help people. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally are just a few of the characters in the book that have showed that they have the material to be a hero. Although some heroes do do a few things that are bad, they help people as often as they can. II.
Another example of this is in part 6 of the poem where it says "As with every other country I've visited, nobody thought I was Indian. This made me lonely." This excerpt from the poem shows that the narrator feels like an outsider no matter what country he was in. No matter where he was, he was the only Indian which caused him to feel like an outsider. Many people believe that outsiders are people who have low self-esteem which makes them exaggerate what they think makes them outsiders, but everyone has things that can make them an outsider.
Dallas Winston, the “Outsider” Ponyboy and his gang are all considered “Outsiders” but there is one greaser from their gang that stands out the most with the title of “Outsider”. Dallas Winston is a hoodlum from New York who had been arrested many times since he was 10 years old. His parents weren’t around when he was growing up, and this really affected his life because he didn’t have anyone to tell him what to do. The author chose this title for the book because she wanted to give an immediate example of how the greasers were treated back then. In the novel The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton, there are many characters that could be considered “Outsiders”; but Dally is the biggest “Outsider” in the story.
In the novel, The Outsiders, Ponyboy has a long history with the Socs due to his upbringing, but over time he noticed that some Socs aren’t the monsters he thought they were. Pony is a Greaser who has two brothers Sodapop and Darry. His parents died when he was very young, causing his brother Darry to take care of the family. Darry doesn’t want Pony and Soda to get in trouble with the Socs if necessary because then they would be separated and sent to a boy's home. But he and the Greasers have been jumped by Socs multiple times.
Carlos’ Outsiders Essay When you change the way you look at something the things you look at change, to give you a wider perspective of what you see. Ponyboy Curtis learns this the hard way. One theme in The Outsiders by S.E Hinton is that as people grow up experiences force them to see life in different perspectives and look beyond their bias. This essay will demonstrate how Ponyboy’s point of view changes throughout the book.
The narrator of the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy Curtis, is a complicated and emotional character. He goes through numerous changes in the book and you get a good idea of his feelings through actions towards others. He proves to be empathetic, caring, and a dreamer. He shows this during situations with his brothers and even with the other Greasers. During the story, Darry is always telling Ponyboy, although he is a intelligent kid, that he needs to use his head.
Should Ponyboy from the Outsiders go to a foster care? Ponyboy should go to foster care! He would not be jumped or be in rumbles all the time. He will also have a father and mother to take care of him and love him. Ponyboy's brothers are always gone going partying or working all the time.
In the book, Outsiders, I noticed the most character development in Ponyboy Curtis. Although he didn’t realize many things until the end of the book, I think once everything registered within himself, he took everything that had happened to him in the past couple weeks as a lesson. One thing that Ponyboy finally grasped was that his oldest brother Darry actually cared for him. At first Ponyboy had always thought that Darry didn’t like him and that Darry would rather him be gone. However, after his friends repeatedly reassured Ponyboy that his older brother had been hard on him because he really loved and cared about him, Ponyboy slowly started to realize that, even though the two still fought a bit.
To be an outsider means that you or someone else has joined some form of group and has had no previous experience, such as, going to a new school where you don’t know anyone and have never really been there before. I have been an outsider many times in my life, but the one that sticks out the most was when I went to a forensic summer camp this past summer. Since the main summer camp I had gone to the previous year had lost funding, I decided to go to multiple camps over the summer. Since the middle school camp was full and since I was going into eighth grade, they decided to put in with the high schoolers. I was very nervous for the first few days, but I gradually got to know people when the counselors put us into groups for different activities.
