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.
Very good transitions they were great very good job of using sophisticated word choice!
