A big part of the outsiders is about friendships. Throughout the book I have seen that the characters will go way out of their way to help their friends. It shows how important friendships are in life and that the right friends will stuck with and help you all through your life, no matter what it is that you are going through. For example on page 54-57 Johnny killed the soc that was drowning Ponyboy. They both knew they had to run away and Ponyboy went with Johnny because he saved his life and it’s what a good friend would do.

The Outsiders is about friendship and trust. Hinton believes that friendship and trust is very imoptant to have in life, because it shows how friends protect each other and if you don't trust each other, they won't be there in desperate times. For example, on page 54-57, it shows that johnny killed bob to protect Ponyboy (Hinton); therefore, this shows how much the gang needs each other at times

The Outsiders is about how far you will go for friendship and your friends. Hinton believes that friendship and family are some of the most important thing in life, and you should find good friends that you can rely on and that will help you through anything because she shows a lot how Ponyboy always is thinking about the gang and is very loyal to them.  For example on page 33 it states, "Soda just held him and pushed his hair out of his eyes. "Its ok johnnycake, they're gone now. It's ok." Jonny had gotten beat up and his friends were that to keep him safe and to take care of him.

The Outsiders is about friendship and loyalty. Hinton believes that friendship and loyalty are important in life because it inspires you to become a better person.  Loyal friends do not judge you or make you feel any less important, instead inspire you and make you become the best version of yourself. For example, on page 57 Johny saves pony, it states "You really killed him, huh johny? Yeah! His voice quavered slightly. 'I had to. They were drowning you, pony. They might might have killed you."  In this quote, it shows that Johny killed Soc to prevent from drowning Ponyboy. This type of going above and beyond for a friend displays loyalty.

The Outsiders is about friendship. Hinton believes that friends and family are one of the most important things in life and how far you will go to protect and stand up for them, because in the book there is a lot of information about the gang and you mostly see the gang being together rather than family. The greasers act like family and look out for each other. For example, on page 29, it states, "Our one rule, besides Stick together, is Don't get caught. He might get beat up, he might not. Either way there's not going to be any blood feud between our outfit and Shepard's. If we needed them tomorrow they'd show. If Tim beats Dally's head in, and then tomorrow asks us for help in a rumble, we'll show. Dally was getting kicks. He got caught. He pays up. No sweat." (Hinton); therefore, this shows that Friendship is very powerful. The Greasers will stand up for each other and stick together during the worst times no matter what happens.

The outsiders is about social class structure/inequalities. Hinton believes that the social class differences and inequalities are very important, and should be discussed because the inequalities cause many social problems. Throughout the book, the greasers and the socs are always getting into conflicts, and people are getting hurt. For example, on page 5, its states that a group of associates jumped Johnny and beat him up. This shows a problem that has come out of the social class. Is starting rivalries and gangs that can't get along. Another example, on page 48, 49, and 50, it tells us about when the Socs ganged up on Johnny and pony boy. It ended with Bob getting killed, and Johnny and pony boy being forced to run away. This shows us another example of extremely divided and rivaled social class. I think Hinton told us about these scenes to show us the difference in the social class when she was a kid.

The Outsiders is about friendship and loyalty. Hinton believes that a good friendship and loyalty will help you succeed and get through life. The gang has each others backs and are there for each other. An example is when Ponyboy was jumped by a group of socks that held a knife to his throat. He called out for help from anybody and then he was helped by everyone in the gang "Then some one had me under the armpits hauling me to my feet". (6,Hinton). The gangs friendship is what helps Johnney cope with his life. His life would have been much harder without the gang for example "If it hadn't been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are."

The outsiders is about social class structures/ inequalities. Hinton believes the social class you are determines how you act because in the book it is brought up multiple times on how the greasers all have a certain way of life along with the Socs. For example on Page 38 it states "You greasers have a different set of values. You are more emotional" (Hinton); therefore,it explained how greasers have a certain reputation where everyone thinks they are one way. So when people think of a greaser they already think they no them, which connects to social class structure and inequality by judging someone based on their social class structure.

The Outsiders is about love and friendship. Hinton believes that love and friendship are very important. This is because when you have love and friendship, then you have so much support to lean on when times are tough. This is shown in multiple ways, like on page 33 when the text states, "Soda just held him and pushed Johnny's hair back out of his eyes. "It's okay Johnnycake, they're gone now. It's okay."(Hinton) This quote further proves my point of The Outsiders being about love and friendship. The quote is telling us how much Soda loves Johnny (in a platonic way). Soda's comforting Johnny showed that he truly cares about Johnny.

The outsiders is about family. Hilton believes a good family bond can make you feel safe and you know there is someone always there for you. For example, on page 26, it sates, Dally is getting in trouble for what he did and Ponyboy says " your okay Dally. You stick up for are buddies no matter what they do. Stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang anymore" (Hilton); therefore this shows that Dally is there for them even when they arent in an agreement. This quote shows that Dally will always love and care about his brothers.

The The Outsiders is about friendship. Hinton believes that a friendship where you can trust the other person is one of the best kinds of friendships to have because, you can trust your friends with secrets and trust them not to share or expose your secrets. For example, on page 56, it states, "I killed him, he said slowly. I killed that boy." (Hinton); therefore, trust is one of the most important traits in a good friendship you should be able to trust a friend with almost all your secrets. The quote is a good example of being able to trust your friend with your biggest secret for example Johnny killed somebody.

The Outsiders is about social change. Hinton believes in social change, because one shouldn't be judged by their group. For example, on page 35 Cherry states, "Things are rough all over" (Hinton); this shows that everyone has some bad qualities, even if they seem perfect.

The Outsiders is about social class structures/ inequalities. Hilton believes the group you are in reflects your personality and decisions because she repeatedly talks about what separates the classes such as hair, emotions and hobby's . For example, on page 38, it states, "You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. Were sophisticated- cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us." (Hilton); therefore, it showed the separation occurring with both social groups. The gangs structures forces individuals to fall into a chosen category.

The outsiders is about friendship and family. Hinton believes that friendship and family are some of the most important thing in life, they can help you thorough any situation. For example on page 33 it states, "Soda just held him and pushed his hair out of his eyes. "Its ok johnnycake, they're gone now. It's ok." Johnny got beaten up really badly and all of his friends are coming together to help him. He trusts them and he can fall apart around them because they are like family.

The outsiders shows loss of innocence over time. Hinton belives the older you get the more you have to do and take care of. She shows this because Ponyboy and Johny are on the run and Darry in in charge of Ponyboy ad looks after Johny so when Ponyboy and Johny start to become fugitives Darry feels responisable with Sodapop for Ponyboy leaving and are very sad about it. On page 81 it says ¨"Darry and me nearly went nuts after you ran out like that¨ it also says on page 81 ¨Darry dosent have the slightest notion where you´re at and it is nearly killing him¨(Hinton 81). This quote is an example of how much Darry loves Ponyboy and is responable for him. Darry´s loss of innocence comes with more responibilty when he gets older with taking care of Ponyboy and Sodapop.

The 0utsiders is about friendship.  Hinton believe that friendship is about taking care of other and self-sacrifice, because in the book she show that they are thinking about each other and usually sacrifice oneself to protect their friend. For example, on page 63, it states, "I can't even stand up... Why didn't you wake me up? That's ok. I didn't want to wake you up until I had to."(Hinton). Therefore, this shows that Pony is a friend for Pony and can't bear to call Ponyboy up even he can't stand up. Love is in details.

The Outsiders is about how far you will go for friendship and your friends. Hinton believes that friendship means a lot, and you should find good friends that you can rely on and that will help you through anything because she shows a lot how Ponyboy always is thinking about the gang and is very loyal to them, especially Johnny. He runs away with Johnny and helps him deal with what he did, even though he could easily rat out Johnny and Ponyboy could go back to his normal life. (Not his normal life, but he could eventually go home, when Johnny could get killed for killing Bob.) For example, on page 74,  ""This is my fault", Johnny said in a miserable voice. He had stopped crying when I started. "For bringin' a little thirteen-year-old kid along. You ought to go home. You can't get into any trouble. You didn't kill him." "No!" I screamed at him. "I'm fourteen! I've been fourteen for a month! And I'm in it as much as you are. I'll stop crying in a minute...I can't help it."" (Hinton); therefore, Ponyboy knows he can go home, he'll get in trouble, but he still can go home. He chooses to stay with Johnny, and thats real friendship, risking some of your life to help a friend.

the outsiders is about family bond/loyalty.The author has shown that they act like a family and bond well because the greasers do every thing together and shows that they are all always there for each other like a family. They are there own family that they stick up for each other. For example when the socials were drowning pony boy and the person who saved him was johnny. Johnny killed bob (one of the social) and now is in big trouble but the greasers helping them get away with it by changing the way they look. They are there for each other and will stick up for each other whenever is needed. Therefor the greasers are about family bond/ loyalty because they are always happy to help a family member

# data[].attributes.body
The Outsiders is about family bond/friendships. Hinton believes loyalty in friendships is one of the most important things the Greasers have towards each other, because she has shown many examples of when loyalty in friendships was needed more than anything else. For example, on page 26, After Dally is getting bashed by many people for what he did, Johnny says, "Dally's okay." Then, Ponyboy says, "You stick up for your buddies, no matter what they do. When you're in a gang, you stick up for the other members. If you don't stick up for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang anymore" (Hinton); therefore this shows that the gang is loyal to Dally and sticks up for him even though they don't agree with what he was doing that night to Cherry. The gang was loyal to Dally and didn't let the Socs talk about him that way or try to turn others against him.

The author of "The Outsiders" gives the hinting heroism aspect to the book in almost every chapter. Every time the greasers are jumped, in a fight, or literally just standing up for each other, that is a big over view example. To get more specific, when Johnny and Poney Boy get in a fight/jumped by the socials in the park. Bob and the other socials where mad for "picking up their girlfriends." When they began to fight, it came to a point where Poney Boy was getting drowned in the fountain. So Johnny saved him and killed Bob. While his intention wasn't to kill Bob, Bob could've killed Poney Boy if he didn't save him. Johnny showed that no matter what, he will be a hero to the greaser gang if needed even though that isn't his personality AT ALL. That shows heroism.

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.
