most people’s appearance doesn’t match their identity.
Examples:
1) How Randy cared so much when Bob died even though he might look not like a person who really cares. (98)
2) Dally may seem that he is tough but when it comes to Johnny he cares a lot.(50) (73) (74)
3) When Darry yells at Ponyboy he means that he really cares about him and wants he future to be better than his.

Family isn't always defined by literal family. Family is someone who will stand by you. These people who stand by you even in the face of danger and consequence are your real family, even if not related by blood.

In times of crisis or tragedy, one's first, often impulsive reaction, is most often not the true, right decision.
 1. Johnny after he killed Bob didn't even think to turn himself in, he just went to Dally and he thought this was a good idea but it clearly wasn't the right one in the end.
2. Ponyboy after Dally hit him just ran, he didn't think to were he was going but he just wanted to run away with Johnny so he could get away from Dally, this clearly wasn't the right decision.
3.  Darry didn't know what to do with himself after Johnny died, he just did what he thought he wanted, to blow up and to die, perhaps if Ponyboy had told him to look at a sunset like johnny had asked him to then Dally wouldn't be dead, but t still might not have helped Dally in the end.

Judgement
Theme: You cannot judge another without first coming to know them. 

"We get jumped by the Socs. I'm not sure how you spell it, but it's the abbreviation for the Socials, the jet-set, the West-side rich kids. It's like the term "greaser," which is used to class all us boys on the east side." (Page 2)

1. Johnny- Johnny was judged for being a greaser, and when he saved the kids in the burning church, he proved to be a hero, beneath all the hair grease. When the paper comes out, saying JUVENILE DELINQUENTS TURN HEROES, Two-Bit mentions the "turn" piece. He says that they didn't just "turn" all of a sudden, they had been heroes from the very beginning, it's just that not everyone saw it right away. When people did realize it, it was too late. (90)
2. Dally- When Johnny is dying, Dally is very tense. He explodes and can't handle anything anymore, he is done. He blows off, and then everyone realizes that Dally acted cold. He acted like he had no feelings for anything or anyone, but really did care about Johnny. He never showed his feelings, so when something really bad happened, he had no idea how to handle it. Pony even calls Dally a hoodlum, but to Johnny, he was his hero. (131)
3. Cherry- Cherry was a really nice girl. She didn't judge Pony, Dally, and Johnny for their looks or their social class. She looked deeper- into their hearts, and understood them for their feelings, not for their popularity among others. Cherry knew how to be nice to people, and didn't act like a stuck-up Soc. "No," Cherry said slowly when I said this. "It's not just money. Part of it is, but
not all. You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're
sophisticated--- cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us. You
know, sometimes I'll catch myself talking to a girl-friend, and realize I don't mean half of
what I'm saying. I don't really think a beer blast on the river bottom is super-cool, but I'll
rave about one to a girl-friend just to be saying something." She smiled at me. "I never
told anyone that. I think you're the first person I've ever really gotten through to."(33) 

Thesis: In S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders, the author proves, through the characters of Johnny, Dally, and Cherry that one cannot judge another without first coming to know them.

3.  When Cherry explains to Ponyboy that Bob was only acting out because of his lack of attention from his parents, and he is a very nice person at heart. (98)
Thesis: In the Novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, the author gives us multiple examples of a person's prescribed identity, versus a person's internal identity. Throughout the story, Ponyboy realizes that Dally's, Soda's, and Cherry's prescribed identities, are not how they see themselves.

This makes Socs a lot lower than Greasers.  As Randy mentioned, it may actually be the people in the middle class that are the luckiest. (Page 98 and 121-123)

Family:
Family does take a big part in the novel “The Outsiders”, it explains how different does each character’s family affect their behavior and thoughts. In the novel itself, although S. E Hinton do not write millions of paragraphs to describe the family situation, but family does take a part from the dialogue between each people. Johnny is a young teenager who is shy and fragile, and he do not pick up attentions in the Greasers, like in the book: “If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny” (The Outsiders). There are many sentences describes Johnny as a lonely, gang’s pet; same as: “His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him… He would have run away a million times if we hadn’t been there” (The Outsiders). The reason that Johnny’s family condition is a nightmare, makes him a shy and lonely person, and “never known what love and affection are” (The Outsiders). In contrast, the family condition of Ponyboy is at the opposite point. “I listened to his heart pounding through his T-shirt and knew everything was going to be okay now. I had taken the long way around, but I was finally home. To stay.” (The Outsiders). These sentences describe Ponyboy and his two brothers hugging with each other after the church fire rescue. The word “heart pounding” and “home” indicates that Darry and Sodapop does care Ponyboy. This beautiful scene of family gives Ponyboy the optimistic, friendly characteristics. The difference between Ponyboy and Johnny in family conditions makes the different personalities between these two people, and how they behave during the book. It is a major theme through the whole story.

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: You don't have to be blood related to be family.

1. The greasers although aren't family by blood, still are family. They are all very different from each other yet they still look out for each other. Dally tries to keep Johnny from going in the flaming church because he knew that he could get hurt and when he went anyways and ended up dying he couldn't handle it, he cared for him too much. (77).

2. When Ponyboy is being drowned by Socs in the fountain, Johnny kills Bob to protect him, even though it could mean getting himself killed. Luckily, it caused the Socs to flee. (49).

3. Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry argue as family does but as the book goes on you see just how much they all care for each other. Especially when Ponyboy returns from the church and they all get emotional during their reunion. (84).

# data[].attributes.body
People's appearances don't show who they truly are inside.

1. Ponyboy assumes Darry doesn't love him because Darry tries to get Ponyboy to use his head more (84).

2. When Ponyboy first meets Randy,  he assumes that because he is a soc that he is as mean as Bob (98).

3. Ponyboy assumes that Dally couldn't love anything but himself,  but Dally can't handle it when Johnny dies (127).

Thesis: Ponyboy incorrectly judges Darry, Randy, and Dally by how they look.

# data[].attributes.body
You should't judge all the people you meet just based on what you first perceive them to be as.

1.  When Darry and Ponyboy are driving to the hospital to tell Johnny that they won the rumble, a police officer pulls them over and is quite unsuprised that the ones that were speeding were greasers.

2. At the start of the book, when Darry, Soda, and Ponyboy are walking down the street in town, all the people walking go to the other side of the street.

3.When Ponyboy is talking to the teacher whose kids were in the burning church, he lights a cigarette. The teacher tells him that he is too young to be smoking, having a cigarette in his hand. When Ponyboy looks up at him, the teacher looks down and stops the conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
As you get to know someone more, inevitably your perspective about them changes and your understanding grows, revealing their internal identity.

In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, people's perspective about the Socs, Dally and Soda change drastically.

1. Pony talks to Cherry and Randy and realizes that most Socs are normal people.
2. Darry and Pony see that their fights and "tug of war" make Soda really sad and stressed.
3. The gang notices how incredibly lonely and vulnerable  Dally actually was.

# data[].attributes.body
Hinton prepares us for the extensive theme of Loyalty and Social groups that run throughout her novel. We begin by thinking that Socs and Greasers are completely opposed, as the “Soc” affiliation gives them an insider status while Greasers are the “outsiders” of Hinton’s title. Despite their identification with different groups, Socs and Greasers turn out to share weaknesses, uncertainties, and dreams. Like these two groups, minor characters have superficial distinctions that overshadow their shared sense of passion and vulnerability. With her attention to the secret problems of the Socs, Hinton emphasizes the idea that “things are rough all over.”

# data[].attributes.body
Theme:
When we are able to see the way that others express their love for us, we are happier.
1. Ponyboy doesn't recognize the different ways that Darry is giving his love and instead gets made at Darry and thinks the exact reverse. Ultimately, Pony realizes that Darry loves him and adds "And he had given up a lot for Soda and me (150).
2. Randy explains to Pony that Bob's parents "spoiled him rotten" (98) and that Bob never got to realize this and be able to cherish those loving moments. Instead he was always was pushing his limits, eventually lead to his death.
3. Johnny was also a victim to love. The reason that Johnny doesn't think he is loved is because he isn't given any from his parents. We see this at the hospital when he sends his mother away. He says "I don't want to see her . . ." (104). The love that Johnny doesn't seem to notice is the love he is receiving from his Gang.
Thesis:
In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy, Bob, and Johnny all struggle to understand how others express their love for them, proving that love can come in many uncomprehending forms.

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Although violence can solve some problems, it also causes others.
Thesis:
1) The Socs attacked Johnny and Ponyboy, which forced Johnny to defend himself with violence. This caused Bob to die.
2) Johnny and Randy both directly say that fighting is useless.
3) When the Greasers won the rumble, nothing changed people only got hurt.

Theme:
It is a mistake to take  someone's appearance as a sole  reflection of their personality.
Thesis:
In S. E. Hinton's novel  The Outsiders, the author proves that no matter how they look most people’s appearance doesn’t match their identity.

Examples:
1) How Randy cared so much when Bob died even though he might look not like a person who really cares. (98)
2) Dally may seem that he is tough but when it comes to Johnny he cares a lot.(50) (73) (74)

Social Statuses will often stereotype an entire group of people based on what they wear, how much money they have, and who they hang out with.

When Cherry says dont be offended if I don't say hi to you at school to Pony and Johnny, it might hurt her reputation (41)

When Randy tells Pony that he won't be participating in the rumble because there's no point in fighting when the Greasers will still end up on the bottom. (99)

After talking with Randy, Pony realizes that Socs and Greasers are just people and social status doesn't really matter (98,99)

Stereotypes often lock people into their prescribed identity with no  possibility of being seen as anything besides what others see them as.

In S.E. Hinton's novel, The Outsiders, the author proves, through the characters of x, y, and z, that stereotypes often lock people into their prescribed identity with no  possibility of being seen as anything besides what others see them as.

Stereotypes are created by people who don't want to take the time to get to know the people that they are stereotyping.

1)  When Cherry first meets the boys, she automatically assumes that they are just like Dally just because they were with him. (19)

2)  When the girls begin to talk to the boys, they talk to them in a very patronizing and demeaning tone, as if they automatically think that they are uneducated. (20)

3) When Cherry tells Ponyboy not to be offended if she doesn't acknowledge him in the halls at school because it would anger her parents and ruin her reputation. (40)

There are many different social classes out there of many different people. People will define you as one thing because of that, but if people actually put in the time to get to know the others, then they will notice that everyone is no different than one another. The biggest reason why people may think that there is a difference is because they think that the money that you have determines your personality.

Thesis: In S.E. Hinton's novel,  The Outsiders, the greaser are always at a disadvantage compared to the Socs because of the Social class that they are in. They are also treated poorly and are deeply misunderstood for who they actually and this is all due the amount of money they have. Cherry telling Ponyboy not to say hi to her in public, Randy telling Ponyboy that he was shocked that a greaser would save little kids lives, and even though the greasers won the rumble, they will still be the poor hoods from the bad side of town.

1) Cherry tells Ponyboy that if he sees her at school or somewhere else with her friends, to not say hi, because she doesn't want to be caught talking to a greaser because it could ruin her reputation with her friends.(40)

2) Randy and Ponyboy have a talk before the rumble and Randy tells Ponyboy that he would never expect a greaser to save kids lives because he thinks that because he is a greaser, he has no heart for others and it surprised him that a grease would do such a thing.(97)

3) At the rumble the greasers win, but the greasers will still never win because they will be the poor ones who are looked at as heartless and the Socs will still be the spoiled rich kids who never get in trouble for messing with the greasers. (97-98, 122-123)

# data[].attributes.body
Theme: Even when you are at your lowest, keep trying and never give up.

Thesis: Every one of the Greasers, despite their personalities showed that there is more to them than just being Greasers in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.  Every Greaser has a lot of heart showing bravery through the roughest times and watching out for each other and taking responsibility.  There are a lot of Greaser gangs but this one stands out because they are only together because they are buddies not just the same title.

1. When Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy's parents died, they didn't act like it was the end of the world or that life was over and couldn't live anymore.  Darry took charge of the 3 brothers and took responsibility. (Page 3)

2. Ponyboy and Johnny saved the kids from the fire even though the church was falling apart, not just because they caused it but in Johnny's letter he said that those kids lives were more worth his. (Page 79 and 152)

3. Greasers and known as being in a lower social class than Socs, they are actually higher up because the Socs are the ones causing all the problems, Greasers only fight in self defense against them.  This makes Socs a lot lower than Greasers.  As Randy mentioned, it may actually be the people in the middle class that are the luckiest. (Page 98 and 121-123)

# data[].attributes.body
If you take the time and effort to really get to know someone, you will discover the stereotypes that society has cast onto them are really just the tip of the iceberg.
Thesis: Part One:
Page 10: Ponyboy can't see Dally's complete picture, only assuming what everyone else assumes: he's icy bitter, hates the whole world, and loves nothing. But on page 76, Dally is pleading for Johnny not to turn himself in, because he didn't want Johnny to get hardened in there, like how he got hardened. Dally's response to Johnny's idea of turning himself in genuinely surprises Ponyboy, because it literally defies what he believed for so long.
Thesis: Part Two:
In the beginning of the book, we learn that Greasers and Socs hate each other, Socs seeing Greasers as "white trash with long, greasy hair" (48), with Greasers seeing Socs as "white trash with mustangs and madras" (48). Society naturally assumes that greasers are hoods, and Socs are perfect, but when Ponyboy talks to Cherry, he discovers that Socs have things to worry about, like image. When he talks to Randy, he also learns that Randy was really, just another guy who wanted to talk, while Two Bit was still like oh what did Mr Super Soc have to say.
Part Three: Johnny
In the beginning of the book, people just assume Johnny is just a dark puppy who has been kicked too many times. He seems scared and suspicious of things all the time, but when you get to know him, you discover he's a great friend, or pal. At windrixville, when Johnny risks his life and ultimately ends up dying to save those children, you finally realize he's a hero and a great person inside, but society's perceived identity of greasers makes it really hard for people to acknowledge the person he really is.
