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.
