The Outsiders is about friendship. Hinton believes strong friendships are essential in surviving adverse circumstances and situations that arise in life, because she repeatedly shows how much the gang relies on each other when facing difficult circumstances and situations, such as abuse, crime, and death. For example, on page 12, it states, “He would have run away a million times if we hadn’t been there. If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are” (Hinton); therefore this shows how the gang loved Johnny, and filled the voids that his family didn’t. The gang’s friendship was the only reason he didn’t run away from his terrible life.

The outsiders is about tolerance and acceptance. Hinton believes accepting people is important because it shows that you cant live a life of tolerance because it makes that person resent you more. For example on page 13 it states, "Darry and I didn't really dig each other. I could never please him."(Hinton);therefore, Dally and Ponyboy are always butting heads because Dally just tolerates Ponyboy and doesn't act like he actually cares for him. That's why when he hit Ponyboy, pony ran away because he felt like it was the last straw. It connects to the theme of tolerance and acceptance because Ponyboy didn't feel accepted.

The Outsiders is about sticking together  Hinton believes no matter what problems and conflict people go through they should never have to go through it alone, i say this because  the greasers could be lone wolfs or try to fit in with the soches they cold easily turn on each other and not be there for each other. if they really wanted to they could let eachother down but they choose not to. the greasers are always there for each other whether its sodapop, tobit, diary, ponyboy, or any of the others they are always there for each other they are like one big family. For example, on page 13, it states, "soda always takes it up for me" Hinton therefore, sows that they are not in it alone and always have friends to stick by

The Outsiders is about social class structure. Hinton believes conflict between the classes should stop because kids were dying all the time for rivalries between gangs. For example, on page 40, it states, "It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her back patio the one I saw on my back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. we saw the same sunset" (Hinton); therefore, it is about social class through the fact that the high class worlds and the lower class worlds were so different and the prejudice that brings tension between them. When ponyboy walks about seeing the same sunset, it is a revelation because there was a big rivalry and then he meets cherry who shows him that they both watch the same sunset, or that "It is rough all over".

The Outsiders is about uncertenty. Hinton believes uncertenty should be learned from, because you learn from mistakes. For example, on page 32, it states, "I don't "know if I should do it." (Hinton); therefore, my analysis was correct.

The Outsiders is about Friendship. Hinton believes strong friendships are important because you have people to lean on that are here for you. For example, on page 13 it states," Soda always takes up for me."(Hinton); therefore, it shows that when Ponyboy and Darry fight, Soda sticks up for Ponyboy because he has his back.

the outsiders is mostly about fighting. the author Hinton believes that fighting and conflict should be learned throughout life. for example in the book the socs say that "they want to fight and they don't like each other." according to the greasers and the soc's they wanna take care of things of who is the best gang. it good to take care of things if you know how to take care of the situation. sometimes you will always have conflict you just have to take care of it.

The outsiders is partially about conflict. Hinton believes that conflict whether it is purposeful or not should be learned from, because it is inevitable. For example on page 5 a soc says" Hey grease we're gonna do you a favor. We're gonna cut off all of your hair." (Hinton) According to this example we can conclude that Ponyboy(the greaser) didn't want this to happen, but it did. When you have a conflict it is good to know how to deal with it. No matter how much you try to avoid it you will always have conflicts and you will want people and your own knowledge to get out of it. In the Outsiders conflicts constantly come up, and normally the people get out of it. The book not only shows conflict, but ways that you can get out of it, and how others around you are there to help.

The Outsiders is about social class  structure.  Hinton believes social class structure is important because of the different life that each person has in their social class.  For example, on page 37, it states, "Of course greasy girls would have acted a lot tougher, but there was a basic sameness.  I thought maybe it was money that separated us." (Hinton); therefore, it means that the Greasers and the Socs are at a different social class.

The outsiders is about how life is short. Hinton believes that they should go through a fun amazing and hard time through the book to show how life really was for them. For example in the book its hard for them to be around socs and also the fact that life just got way harder for Johnny and ponyboy because Johnny killed bob but there are also good parts like in the book when the work on cars and have sodas and just hangout with each other

# data[].attributes.headline
The Outsiders is about Life and Death . Hinton believes Life and death, because when Johnny killed bob they panicked and went to help ponyboy . For example, on page 1 and 2 of chapter 4, it states, "Johnny says, "I killed him and ponyboy sees Johnny's switchblades', dark to the hilt with blood" (Hinton); therefore, Life and Death matters about the book because he killed bob and to save Ponyboys life it was a hard decision.

the outsiders is about social class division and friend ship. in the book the outsiders Hilton does a great job at creating a world were witch the high school students are truly divided. The town is divided by the greasers and the sochas. Even in the middle of this violence and division, Ponyboy still has a great group of friends that he can lean on if he is down. On page 79 it states "i didnt mean nothing, Said Johnny"(Hilton); this shows that Johnny and Ponnyboy could connect on a deeper level.

The Outsiders is about social class structure and poverty. Hinton believes that people in different social classes should not be treated differently, because they are not all that different when you think about it and she repeatedly shows how the Socials look down on the Greasers and treat them badly. For example on page 46, it states, "We aren't in the same class. Just don't forget that some of us watch the sunset too" (Hinton); therefore, this shows how although they are not in the same social class, they are not all that different and go through some of the same stuff. Greasers should not be treated differently because they are in a lower social class.

The Outsiders is about Social status. Hinton believes everyone deserves respect, because Hinton wanted to show that, despite their money and social status, the Socs also faced problems. For example, on page 2, it states, "She also tells him that Socs have problems just as the greasers do, but Ponyboy does not believe her." (Hinton); therefore, Socs still face their own problems, and even though some might not realize it due to their social status. Socs don’t get enough discipline which shows their actions, which leaves a bad look on them.

For example on page 39 it states "Two-Bit always said he wondered why Jonny and I were such good buddies...But Johnny and I understood each other without saying anything ." (-Hinton); therefor this shows how Johnny and Ponyboy have a special bond of friendship and how important that bond is.

The outsiders is about different sides of the social class, with the greasers they are poor and don't really have a normal family but they stick together and make there own family. The Socs are rich and have no rules so they try to break them to get a reaction. Hinton believes that the social class you are in doesn't matter when you have friends that will stand by you. For example, on page 115 "'Greaser' didn't have anything to do with it. My buddy over there wouldn't have done it. Maybe you would have done the same thing, maybe of friend of yours wouldn't have. It's the individual." This quote shows that your social class does not effect your decisions
