Hi!, my name is Nathan and I’m going to be writing an essay about the outsiders book and its basically about gang violence I would highly recommend reading this book because it is very great I love this book because it talks about the old days and being in a gang and with pony boy not having parents another reason why I like this book is because it has a rising action a couple of times.one lesson that the novel teaches if gang violence is the main theme because it talks about retaliation and how they both talk about each other.
From the beginning of the story the socs tried to jump pony boy,” they walked around slowly, silently, smiling need a haircut greaser? The medium-sized blond pulled out a knife from his back pocket and flipped the blade open I was backing up from the blade of course I backed Into one of them they punched me a couple of times so he layed still staring at them and cursing between gaps and there I find the blade across my throat” and this right here is when pony boy was getting jumped by the socs and if it wouldn’t have been for Darry he probably would’ve gotten killed. Pony boy knew exactly, well bot exactly but he knew the reason why the socs and greasers didn’t get along and using my inference I can tell that the two gangs dress differently and they have different things. At the very beginning of the story pony boy tells us that his parents died a long time ago in a car crash, so therefore he lives with his two brothers and try to stay out of as much trouble as they possibly can and one hyperbole that S.E Hinton used in the story was “Darry would kill me if I got into trouble with the police” so basically they really try to stay out of trouble.
First of all the main theme of this story is violence is going to affect you because of what is stated in my second paragraph also I believe that theme has to be violence because Johnny ended up killing someone with the socs. Basically what happens in the middle of the story is Johnny and pony boy meet cherry and her friend and a bunch of drunk socs try to drown pony boy. one simile that used in the story was “like a trapped animal” they were using this simile to explain how Johnny is because he is very quiet and doesn’t really talk that much at all. The reason why he’s so silent is because he gets beaten by his parents the greasers know that he does and pony boy says “it makes him madder than heck” the major part in the middle of the story is Johnny killed one of the Socs named bob, and it’s because they were trying to drown pony boy because they were drunk.
The way the author develops the theme throughout the end of the book is by the way the sequence of events go, for example because of Johnny killing bob they cut off ALL of their hair and pony boy bleached his! They jumped through so many loops and went through so many obstacles to avoid the “fuzz”. After they cut off all their hair they moved to a town called windrixvill they were staying in an old church for a while and one time they left to get something and they came back and the church was on fire and there were three little kids inside of the church so pony boy and Johnny go in to save the three little kids and while they were in there a board fell on Johnny’s back and broke his spine lucky them they made it out with the kids and the kids were safe but pony boy and Johnny were in the hospital at critical condition later on pony boy was released from the hospital but Johnny was still in there while he was in there a gang war called a rumble happened and after the rumble Johnny died.
they could have avoided gang wars and could have avoided losing their friend, Johnny and they didn’t have to do the things they did if they would have avoided the socs. This is most definitely a great point also the moral of the story is a life for a life because Johnny killed bob he basically killed himself because if he wouldn’t have killed bob he wouldn’t have to leave his town and then he wouldn’t end up trying to save kids in a church. Another way you could state this is that it’s basically Karma.
