Choices CER

in the novel, The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, we learn that the choices we make affect not only yourself but the community around you. For example Ponyboy’s and Johnny’s decisions affect not only themselves but everyone else around them and their decision to go to the park the night Bob is stabbed affect the Greasers and the Socs. When johnny and Ponyboy were talking johnny said “‘Let’s walk to the park and back’”(Hinton 46). This changes everything because while they are that park they are jumped by Socs. In self defence johnny stabs a Soc and the soc dies. This changes Johnny and Ponyboy’s lives but the life of everyone in the community's. This shows that the choices you make can affect everyone you know.

For example throughout the novel people in their community like a gang called the soc's label the greasers. They do this because they are wealthy people and don't care about, the Greasers who are more poorer than the middle class. The gang is used to being labeled within their community because when people automatically see them they refer to them as greaser. As Pony states in the novel " Us greasers can't walk alone to much or we'll jumped. or "someone will yell hey grease". Ponyboy thinks that it is not such a hot name to be called. They are also known for fighting and being rough. Most the gang has been through rough experiences and people just continue to stereotype them because they just haven't been through their experience and what it feels like to be in their lives .

Christine InfantolinoMrs.SentalLanguage ArtsDecember 5, 2016					HeroismIn the book, The Outsiders by S. E Hinton, the reader learns that anyone can be seen as a hero no matter what they live like, act like, and look like. An example is, Greasers in the novel, are mostly known as “trouble” and don’t show any hero like actions throughout the book. On the other hand, when Johnny and Ponyboy went into the church to rescue the children in danger they weren't seen as “hoodlums” or “trouble”. The children’s teacher said to Ponyboy about the three boys (Pony, Johnny and Dally) “Mrs.O’Briant and I think you were sent straight from heaven. Or are you just professional heros or something?” (Hinton 95). Ponyboy is shocked by what the teacher said to him. He was a Greaser and he was aware,  and the majority of the population did not think greasers as “heroes” or people “sent from heaven”. So, for a Greaser to hear someone say he is a hero and sent from heaven out of the blue and surprising. All in all, anyone that is different from others can be at the same level as everyone else and be able to become a hero.

Loyalty In The Outsiders

In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, we learned that the gang is very loyal to each other, and they treat each other like brothers. For example, when Ponyboy was drowning at the park, Johnny stabbed the Soc in order to save Ponyboy. If he had not stabbed the Soc, Ponyboy would have died. Ponyboy asked Johnny, “‘You really killed him, huh, Johnny?’ ‘Yeah.’ His voice quavered slightly. ‘I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you’” (Hinton 57). Johnny and the rest of the gang will risk their lives for one another, and they love each other. For some of them, the gang is all they have. Loyalty is a major theme shown in The Outsiders, and we learned the gang is loyal to one another.

Loyalty
In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, loyalty is a major theme. For instance, when Darry hit Pony, so Pony went to Johnny because "'[they're] running away' Johnny asked no questions" (Hinton 51). Johnny didn't know why they were running away, all he knew was his friend needed him. Pony and Johnny were so loyal to each other that they would run away with one another even if they didn't know why. They didn't question each other they just knew the other needed a friend to run away with. This teaches the world that it's important to stay loyal to friends because friends will always have their friends back. People who are loyal won't question why people need help, they will just help the person and be loyal to them.

He means that whatever he does, Ponyboy will always be seen at the bottom of the social food chain. All in all, Ponyboy is being stereotyped by people that don’t even know him.

Theme in The Outsiders

A major theme in “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton is that stereotypes don’t matter. For example, Ponyboy and Johnny and the rest of the Greasers are hated by society because of certain stereotypes saying that they are bad people. However, later on, Johnny runs into the burning church to save a group of children he didn’t even know, the teacher says that they are “the bravest kids [he’d] seen in a long time” (Hinton 94). Ponyboy is not used to being called a hero and is so surprised that he tells the teacher they are greasers. He does not believe that he and Johnny are actually heroes, because society views them so badly even if they really are good people, and they’re used to that. When the teacher who has no idea they are Greasers says that they are heroes, it makes it clear how anyone can beat stereotypes and become a hero.

In “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton one of the main themes is that if you have courage you will be happy. In the novel, Johny, Ponyboy, and Darry go into the church to save little kids. While they are doing this, Ponyboy says, “[t]hat was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes” (Hinton 92). This proves that Johny was having courage and was happy. If Johny wasn’t happy, then why did he not look defeated as usual? Johny was happy because he was helping people. He was fine to risk his life to help them because he has courage. All in all, in courage is shown throughout the novel.

A major theme in “The Outsiders” is that not every stereotype is accurate. An example of this is “‘He ain’t a soc,”...”he’s just a guy. He just wanted to talk.’”.  The main meaning of this quote is that even though someone is immediately stereotyped as soon as they are sorted into their group. When Ponyboy is speaking with Randy, he realises that Randy really is nothing like socs are told to be. In the end, stereotypes are something that almost everyone deals with and that basically all stereotypes describe no one. Stereotyping is not okay and is, again, a major theme in the outsider.

In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, we learned that there are themes during the novel.  A theme that I thought that showed the most was stereotyping.  An example would be that all the Soc's think that all the Greasers are these bad people that always get in fights and the Greasers think that the Soc's are upper class men. A quote I found is "Need a haircut, Greaser?" (Hinton 5). I chose this quote because I thought it saying that all Greasers have long hair and they always put grease in their hair. Most Greasers do have long hair and do put grease in their hair but some don't. Ponyboy does have long hair and does put grease in his hair but he is not mean at all. He almost has straight A's and always does his homework because his brother makes him. All in all, a theme I saw in "The Outsiders" was stereotyping.

In “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton there are many different themes.  One of the main themes is that violence can hurt you and get you in trouble.  This theme is express a lot throughout the book.  A part in the story that resembles this theme is when Johnny and Ponyboy get jumped by the Socs and something bad happens.  Johnny says, “‘I killed him… I killed that boy’”, (Hinton 56).  Because the Socs jumped them, their ‘leader’ Bob gets killed.  Now Johnny and Ponyboy are in trouble because of fighting with the Socs.  Ponyboy and Johnny are used to fighting with the Socs, but they have never killed anyone.

In the novel, "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, we learned that the Greasers got stereotyped throughout. In chapter 1 the "Greasers are almost like hoods; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while." This quote shows that they are getting stereotyped. They are being stereotyped for always stealing and always having gang fights when they do more then just that. They hang out with each other and are always at each others sides.

In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, the readers learn that violence is never the answer, because something bad you didn't know might happen. Ponyboy lives the gang called "The Greasers". They always get jumped by the Socs. When Pony and Johnny see the blue mustang, they know violence is coming. A few Socs came to the park where Johnny and Pony were, looking to start something, "the next thing I knew I was lying on the pavement beside the fountain...then I saw Johnny.... 'I killed him"" (Hinton 56). Johnny killed the soc, Bob. If Bob and his friends came over to the Greasers park, they should have known not to start anything because things can get in bad hands. Johnny was trying to protect his own friend from dying, so he stabbed Bob, and all of them ran off. The Socs shouldn't have come to their park anyway, all they want to do is cause trouble.

In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton, we learned that there are many examples of violence throughout the book. One example would be when Johnny was beat up by a group of Soc's for no reason, specifically one with rings on his hand which left Johnny with scars on his face. Another example would be at the end of the novel, when a rumble was planned ahead of time between the Greasers and the Socs. In both cases, people from both sides are injured, sometimes during a planned fight and other times when an innocent person is jumped and attacked. These are examples of violence because in our society kids still have to deal with bullying, maybe not in the exact way but the same kind of concept. Luckily for Pony and the gang no one got hurt too bad or killed at the rumble, only a couple of broken bones and bruises.

In the novel, "The outsiders" we learned that the gang gets stereotyped by how they dress and their daily actions. The soc's label the greasers because the soc's are the wealthy ones with the big houses and the nice cars and the greasers have nothing at all expect there friends. Many soc's make fun of the greasers hair and when they greasers get jumped the soc's tell them, "Need a haircut, greaser?(Hinton 5)" The greasers hair is the reason why they get made fun of so much and it's also because they all dress like thugs. The greasers are also known for stealing and hurting people for no reason and most greasers are always in and out of jail.

In the novel, The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, we learn that heroes do not always take the traditional form.  Greasers, for example, are viewed very negatively throughout the novel--they are almost seen as anti-heroes in their community--however, when Ponyboy and Johnny save the children from the burning church, the children’s teacher tells Pony that he thinks that Pony, Johnny, and Dally are “the bravest kids [he has] seen in a long time” and that they were “sent straight from heaven” as “professional heros” (Hinton 94).  Ponyboy is completely shocked by this statement and feels the need to clarify that he is a greaser.  He does this because he has come to see greasers as incapable of being viewed by the world as heroes, but this statement made by this unassuming stranger makes it clear that anyone, even a greaser, can be a hero under the right circumstances.
