The Comunity with taste

Authors note: This Essay is a summative on how the greasers are miss judged and why.

If you want to be miss-judged, teased, live of the line or possible killed; then you should join the Greasers. A normal person would be out of their minds to want to live there. “The Outsiders”, by S.E. Hinton, shows that some people don’t always get the jackpot.

Even though the greasers don’t wear expensive things, doesn’t mean that they are bad people! If the soces, or anybody, where to actually meet any get to know the greasers, like Ponyboy, they would know what happened to their family and probably be friends. They should know how much the vehicle accident affected their family. The oldest brother of the Curtis family quit Schooling, Football, being by friends, EVERYTHING. Now that’s true commitment.

Evan if you did want to live there, there is always a reason or explanation why. Unlike by choice, the Curtis’s don’t have the choice. “The Outsiders” is a perfect example how you should get to know somebody before you judge them       

Non-Fiction, Or Real Life?

This is about how the Curtis' don't get judged good 

One might think of a family different than another. How their brothers of sisters treat them. How much money they have or how much they are in debt. “The Outsiders”, by S.E. Hinton, shows how families aren’t just from the factory.

           Guns, switchblades, and cigarettes? I don’t know about most people, but I wouldn’t want to live in that neighborhood! For the Curtis brothers, that is the only place that they can afford to live in. When their  parents died, they weren’t doing so well. Ponyboy’s  brother, the oldest of the family, dropped high school and got a full time job at the gas station so that he could house and feed his two brothers.

            To top that off, he quit hanging out with friends and playing football.  Now that is truly commitment. He liked his brothers so much that he stepped forward and took his father’s position like a man. I don’t really know that many people that would do that. “ The outsiders”  is the best way to describe what could happen in real-life and how people can go out of their way to take on responsibility when they have to.

            Weather it be fiction or non-fiction, the good guy always makes the best hero.  Doing the right thing and making the right choices will always have a good ending.  The biggest parallel to life I found in the book  is that sometimes things don’t go like you would like them to go, but if you make the best of what you have been given, and do the right thing, that will make you feel good, inside, and that’s worth more than all the things money can buy.

              

While the Socs Lose another member

         The world as we know it…. Most of the time is a pretty good place! The other percent is people who don’t try that hard in life and end up in gangs. “The Outsiders”, by S.E. Hinton, isn’t like that. its about the things that happen in everyday life.

            To get the ball rolling down the lane, there are two gangs in town. The Socs and the Greasers. They both hate each other’s guts. If one little thing happens, a fight occurs. Even at one of the drive-in movie theaters, there is almost always a fight going on there. They also said that one girl was shot there.

            To add on to that, the greasers act like their family was the gang members. If one kid was being harmed, one would risk his life for the other. For Sodapop, Darry, and Ponyboy, they had no family. Darry had to drop out of school to support his brothers. Drop out of football, stop hanging around with his friends. Everything.

            Ponyboy was thinking in left field when he decided to hang out with the two girls from the socs. As he learned, having fun in the beginning doesn’t end up good normally. After he hung out with them, he and Johnny went to the park and hung out. The socs came afterward to drown Ponyboy. Jonny protected his friend and killed one of the socs. I think that Johnny did the right thing by protecting his friend, but he will probably get arrested.
