The outsiders is a book written by S.E Hinton and it is about a troubled teen named pony boy who is a greaser and he has two brothers one that is name Soda pop and the other one that is named Darry and they are greasers as well and the setting of the book the outsiders is the mid-80s beat up little town where the greasers live and a nice little suburban town are where the rival gang the SOCS live and one problem that happens in the book is that pony boy and one of his friends get jumped by the SOCS and his friend so they didn’t kill pony boy accidentally ended up killing a SOC and that ends up causing trouble for them and one lesson that the story the outsiders has is to never take life for granted and to cherish every moment in your life cause when you least expect it your life could change in an instant without you even being aware and then you will regret not taking the chances and doing everything possible that you could before your life decides to be flipped upside down

at the beginning of the story I feel like pony boy is misunderstood and feels like he is being a burden on the rest of the greasers cause when the SOCS jumped him the other greasers had to come and save him and chase off all of the SOCS and then had to be helped up by one of his brothers and then later on in the story he says it feels like Darry doesn’t love him as a brother and that he doesn’t care about him cause all eh feels like to him is a burden and just a kid he has to take care of and he thinks that is why Darry is working all the time and never has any time for fun or to just hang out but Darry is a part of that problem cause he shows no emotions or feelings to anyone and he is always working and never or hardly ever has any time for Pony boy or Soda pop or just to all out have fun and hang out with the rest of the greasers and to go to the movies with Pony boy or any of the greasers and Darry also does show a little hatred towards Pony boy by always yelling at him and getting mad at him for the smallest things and after all no one in the greaser group really understood why Darry was always so hard on Pont boy and when Darry yells at Pony boy Soda pop has to start in and tell Darry to stop yelling at him and Soda pop is basically always there for Pony boy

The author develops the theme in the middle of the book by showing how pony boys emotions and actions have changed then at the beginning of the book cause near the beginning of the book he seems a little misunderstood and over looked than other people cause he feels like the greasers don’t understand him and they just look over him but near the middle they start to pay attention to him more and wonder what is up with him and actually like pay attention to them and everyone is so curious what is going on in his life and what moves he makes and seeing If he is off and getting into trouble but that could also be because they don’t trust him and they don’t want to be split up but Darry and Soda pop should try and trust him a little at least if they don’t trust him right now but they still look over him a little but not as much as they used to like before but he is still a little bit understood but other than the few things they don’t trust him about and him still being a little bit misunderstood he still feels like Darry doesn’t like him that much and it showed more when Darry actually hit Pony boy cause he came home late and worried Darry

At the end of the book Pony boy has changed cause he has to deal with the loss of a cherished one that was close to him and he is trying to figure out how to deal with it but he feels all alone cause he just loss someone super close to him and it is possible that he wishes everything back to normal and have everything be perfect cause he didn’t want to lose a loved one he ran away for a good reason he had to leave cause of what happened with one of the SOCS and his friend they had to leave they didn’t mean for it to happen but the SOCS attacked them first so his friend had to do what he did to save Pony boy so that Pony boy wouldn’t die and the mistake Pony boys friend had made it would change their lives forever Pony boy had no clue that the second he ran out of that house would change his life forever he probably regrets that dreaded day so much just cause one of his loved/close ones passed away and he probably blames himself cause he was the one to run out he was the one who had to run away and he probably believes that the reason his loved one died is cause of the SOCS that decided to jump him and then the little accident that happened cause of what his friend did and he didn’t mean for any of it to happen it just happen out of the random and they wouldn’t be able to know what happened cause it was completely out of the blue no one could have known it was going to happen

And the reason I thing that the outsiders theme is to never take life for granted is because pony boy lost someone that was close to him and that he loved just randomly out of nowhere and he also had to get away because of a random event that also happened out of nowhere it all just suddenly happen and changed his life forever and he couldn’t go back to how it used to be no matter how hard he tried and he regrets so much all the bad things that had happened and he probably thinks that all the bad stuff happened cause he existed but no in reality it’s no one’s fault but in the end I think he learned to never take life for granted and to take every moment that you have and to keep the good memories locked away and let all the bad memories go and just forget about them so that you can be able to focus on everything good in life instead of just regretting and living in all the bad moments everyone should just try to focus on everything good and to just not let all the bad things get us down and I think the book try’s to spread that message cause everyone goes through bad parts in their lives and if they get the right motivation then they can get through it so that the writer of this book probably was going through something bad of their own when they wrote this cause they wanted people to pull through and keep fighting and that is why I believe that the meaning is to never take life for granted and to just live in the moment

the outsider has a setting of the hood sort of it has some old retro drive in movie theater or pay a quarter to get in if you don’t have a quarter and the main character Pony boy he is sort of a lonely guy apart from the fact he is a greaser and he has Darry and Soda pop and all of them but he is super smart cause he is only 14 and is already in high school cause he got mover up cause of good grades and he is some what awkward around girls and he doesn’t talk much unless some one talks to him first so he is sorta quuet as well

Let’s talk about the dress code at FWCS school Blackhawk cause its unfair says a few students but I asked a few students what they say about dress code and one student said this “a guy can wear whatever and not get in trouble but with girls if they even show the littlest amount of skin then we get dress coded also girls have more clothes they can’t wear unlike guys cause its pointed towards us a few of the things it says is that we can’t wear shorts unless it hits finger tips can’t wear spaghetti straps or show any shoulder have to wear shirt that covers your shoulder and guys they can wear tank top things without getting in trouble and girls get in trouble cause they don’t listen to the dress code and wear whatever they want but the dress code is unfair and that is why you will see girls walking around the hall wearing whatever we want cause we already have all of our school clothes and that we come to school to find out we can’t wear all the clothes we just got and that we would have to buy new clothes or just break the dress code and so we chose to just break dress code cause it is too much work to go out and buy new clothes” yet when I asked another student they had a different opinion than the other student they said this “I don’t think that there is much wrong with the dress code I mean yeah there is some flaws to it I mean guys and girls do have different body types but the dress code still is a little unfair cause if girls have a lot of restrictions then guys should have a bit more restrictions cause it should be at least somewhat equal after all and not have much more pointed to girls than guys” and a lot of students agree with them and a lot of students agree with the other student

one day at black hawk middle school they decided to pull a prank on the students and say that they would start having to wear uniforms so they would express there emotions and so one of the staff members came into the la classes and told them that they were getting uniforms and the classes erupted with many voices and many people were asking “why are we getting uniforms like a week in to school” and so the staff member said that its cause “we could not get everything figured out everything until now so that is why we are inforcing the school uniforms now” and that just caused the whole room to explode and have everyone to start yelling and everyone was confused but some people were actually starting to guess it was a prank cause “why would they give uniforms when school already started” so the staff member left the rooms and one of the teachers told the students “ok instead of just shouting out write what you are thinking or feeling down in your note books” so then after that alot more students started to figure out that it was a prank a few said “if this is not a prank then why would you have us write in our note books” so some people wrote in there books a few others refused to but then finally a few minutes before class ended the staff member came into the room and said “so was i convincibal enough” and everyone started ohhhing

the last book I read was I killed the mocking bird do not mistake it for how to kill a mocking bird cause I killed the mocking bird talks about the book how to kill a mocking bird I liked the boo I killed the mocking bird because it talks about students who read how to kill a mocking bird and how they get into it a lot and the book I choose from the library was as dead as it gets and so far it is about this girl who can see dead people all around and whenever she take s a picture sometimes dead people show up In her camera so she try’s to avoid using her camera even tho that was her dream since she was 12 and her and her best friend went on a hike to take pictures but in on picture she saw a little kid she didn’t think it was a ghost seen as it didn’t have anything wrong with it so she told her best friend and him and her went looking for the boy they didn’t find anything but when she went to pick up a camera to take a picture of an animal the boy showed up but this time she noticed he had a gash in the back of his head so she freaked out a lil and her best friend tried to calm her a little but they ended up kissing on accident and when they went to leave she started to hear a ringing noise and then her car spun soo I think the story is going to be about how the girl lives on just seeing ghosts and then her best friend finds out and try’s to help her threw all of it and just stick by her side threw it all
