"There sure is a lot of blood in people." (Hinton 75).
I Think that this quote is saying that people in general have so many deep secrets, that are not visible to the surface. Even though one of the most kind main character's seems innocent, they still killed someone.

# data[].attributes.body
¨You calling us bums?¨
(Hinton 45).
This shows how the Socs dislike the greaser because they are using the slang ¨Bum¨ to define them.

"I didn't mean to! Darry shouted, and I almost shook. "I didn't think!" That's all I hear out of you! Can't you think of anything?" (Hinton 50).

I think this quote reveals the idea that Dally doesn't take pony boy seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
"A spy?" (Hinton 84).

# data[].attributes.body
"Maybe Dally had been killed in a car wreck or something and no one would ever know where i was, and I'd just die up here, and turn into a skeleton" (Hinton 70).
This quote is Ponyboy overthinking and worrying about what could happen and how he will get out of the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
"Darry is awful sorry he hit you. You know he didn't mean it." (Hinton 81).

This has been reoccurring throughout the book, this being Darry not meaning what he says or does, this goes to show that just because someone does something offensive, it doesn't mean they meant it.

# data[].attributes.body
"Things could get better, I figured. I was wrong."
(Hinton 52).

I think this quote says that people always want to expect the best, even if the worst is staring them right in the face. It also reveals that, to have a good book, you need a good story, and that often means a lot of hardship for the character. VERY often.

# data[].attributes.body
"You know what a soc is?"
"White trash with mustangs and madras.(Hinton 55).
The socs think they are big and bad but this is what a greaser thinks socs are actually.

"Were Poorer Than The Socs And The Middle Class. I Reckon Where Wilder To" (Hinton 3).

It means that someone has more money or has the coolest cloths or the newest stuff doesn't mean that they are better than you.

"Need a haircut Greaser?"
(Hinton 17).

"I think that this quote means that you can find other words to hurt someones feelings in a more nonthreatening way, like they could have said instead "Let's chop off that grease ball for ya, greaser."

# data[].attributes.body
You ain't a' woofin'.

"Looks like Johnny forgot his jacket" (Hinton 32).

# data[].attributes.body
"You greasers have different set of values. You're more emotional . We're sophisticated ~ cool to the point of not feeling anything" (Hinton 38).

This makes me think that the Socs care more about their image and how others care about them. Rather than be like the greasers who have emotion.

# data[].attributes.body
Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body...
(Hinton 34).
I think this quote means that once someones been beat up nobody will do it again.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
"Man, that was a tuff car. Mustangs are tuff" (Hinton 47).

This was just small talk but there were talking about the socs.

I think that they were trying to get off the train as fast as they could.

"Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes dawn to day. Nothing gold can stay" ( Hinton 77 ).

I personally think that this poem that Ponyboy resits this poem, I think . . . what he's really saying is "nothing worth seeing lasts for ever, so enjoy it while it lasts, because you may never see it again, and even though you may wish for it to last, it can't last forever."

# data[].attributes.body
"I killed him."(Hinton 56)

# data[].attributes.body
"Hey whatta you know? Bob said a little unsteady, here's the little greasers that picked up our girls. Hey, greasers". (Hinton 55)

Many times when people are involved in trauma, they don't even know how badly they are hurt.

Darry isn't ever sorry for anything he does.
(Hinton 6).
I think this reveals that Darry has too much on his mind to really pay attention to anything else.

# data[].attributes.body
"You don't ever think, at least not at home" (Hinton 13)

Darryl constantly talked about Pony boy never using his head for common sense.

# data[].attributes.body
"I just stared at the hole in my tennis shoe" (Hinton 5).

I think that this sentence starts to say that they don't have a lot of nice  stuff and that they work hard for just everyday stuff.  And paves a way for the author to start talking about how hard they work.

# data[].attributes.body
"He's really proud of you 'cause you're so brainy. It's just because you're the baby--- I mean, he loves you a lot. Savvy?"
"Sure," I said, trying for Soda's sake to keep the sarcasm out of my voice" (Hinton 17).
I think that even though Pony boy doesn't believe him it is true and Darry wants Pony boy to have the opportunities he couldn't.

# data[].attributes.body
"Need a haircut greaser?".(Hinton 5)

I think this quote shows how the Socs are a mean gang and that using these words can be hurtful.

# data[].attributes.body
"I lie to myself all the time. But i never believe me" (Hinton 18). I think that this means that people always think things may not happen so they think to there selves that it will, but at the sometime knowing that it wont. People on't think of the positive just the negative.

# data[].attributes.body
"I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me."(Hinton 18).

This addresses the fact that we as people typically create lies in an attempt to block out anything bad happening in our lives.

# data[].attributes.body
"Darry jammed his fists in his pockets. They didn't  hurt you too bad, did they?" (Hinton 7).

I think this quote reveals the idea that Darry does care about pony boy but gives him a hard time to make him more tough.

# data[].attributes.body
"Of course I backed right into one of them" (Hinton 5).

Why is it that without fail if someone backs away from a threat, they are unaware that their is another goon behind them. I have never seen a time in a movie show or book, in which they turn around and manage to run. This indicates as well that either the goons have good anticipating skills or there are a lot of them.

# data[].attributes.body
"I don't care about Darry. But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me" (Hinton 18).

Ponyboy wanted to believe that he didn't love Darry, because he thinks that Darry doesn't love him, but he knows that he is lying to himself.

# data[].attributes.body
"How'd  you like that haircut below the chin?"(Hinton, pg. 5)

I think this quote reveals that they want to kill ponyboy.

# data[].attributes.body
"They are right. You are a hood" (Hinton 15).

I think this quote reveals the idea that people make assumptions based on things other than personality. They make judgments on people that are different before they have a chance to get to know them.

# data[].attributes.body
"Hhhmmm." He sighed happily. "It's real nice" (Hinton 18)

This means that to care about someone a lot can make you feel happy about  yourself.

# data[].attributes.body
"If it weren't for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are" (Hinton 12).

This is saying that Johnny's parents don't provide him with love and don't care enough for him. His friends have provided him with a sanctuary away from his life at home.

# data[].attributes.body
"It drives my brother Darry nuts when I do stuff like that, 'cause I'm supposed to be smart; I make good grades and have a high IQ and everything, but I don't use my head" (Hinton 4).

I think the quote reveals the theme that being smart in school doesn't always mean you think things through and make good choices.

# data[].attributes.body
"Soda tries to understand, at least, which is more than Darry does" (Hinton 2).
I think this shows that they're different from eachother but still connected in other ways.

# data[].attributes.body
"You must think at school, with all those good grades you bring home, and you've always got your nose in a book, but do you ever use your head for common sense?" (Hilton 13).

This quote shows that Pony boy doesn't have common sense

# data[].attributes.body
¨Were gonna do you a favor greaser.¨
(Hinton 5).
I think this quote reveals that there gonna do Pony Boy a favor but they are being sarcastic and they are not going to benefit Pony Boy at all.

# data[].attributes.body
"Tough and tuff are two different words. . . In our neighborhood both are compliments" (Hinton 12).

This quote shows that people can mean different things by saying the same thing and everything has a deeper meaning.

# data[].attributes.body

I think that this quote means that you can find other words to hurt someones feelings in a more nonthreatening way, like they could have said instead "Let's chop off that grease ball for ya, greaser."

# data[].attributes.body
"Easy, Ponyboy. They aint gonna hurt you no more" (Hinton 8).

This quote reveals how much Soda cares to make Ponyboy feel safe. Even if the (Socs) weren't going to stop attacking their gang,  Soda didn't want Ponyboy to have to worry any more, or be scared how Johnny was after he was jumped. Soda is less worried about making Ponyboy tougher, and more worried about keeping him safe.

# data[].attributes.body
"Darry love me? I thought of the cold, pale eyes. For once Soda was wrong" (Hinton 18).

I think that Pony had too many problems with Darry so he doesn't think he can change

# data[].attributes.body
'I don't care about Darry. But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me" (Hinton 18).

This shows that the main character wishes that he didn't care about Darry, and that he just tells himself he doesn't to avoid any pain that may come from it.

# data[].attributes.body
"How'd you like that haircut to begin just below the chin?" (Hinton 5).
I think this quote is trying to show the greasers that they (Socs) are big and bad and they are afraid to do anything to them.

# data[].attributes.body
"Im okay. Quit shaking me, Darry. Im okay."(HIlton 6).

I think this quote shows how rough Darry is on Ponyboy even when he is hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
"We're gonna do you a favor, greaser. We're gonna  cut all that long greasy hair off" (Hinton 5). When the socs were surrounding Ponyboy was starting to look back at what happened to Johnny and not try to get out of the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm not saying that the Socs or greasers are better; that's just the way things are" (Hinton 3).
I think it means you can't change where you came from, you just kinda born into it.

# data[].attributes.body
"Darry's gone through a lot in his twenty years, grown up to fast. Sodapop'll never grow at all. I don't know which ways best. Ill find out one of these days" (Hilton 2).
I think this shows that growing up has different effects on the way you see things and the way you handle things.

# data[].attributes.body
He would be real handsome if his eyes weren't so cold.

i think it mean not being so mean or evil like.

# data[].attributes.body
"I rubbed my cheek where it had turned purple. I had looked in the mirror, and it made me look tough. But Darry had made me put a Band-Aid on the cut" (Hinton 16).

I think this quote reveals  that people will try to hurt you for being you. But then there are people who care about you and want to protect you. Even if its only a Band-Aid.

# data[].attributes.body
"Need a haircut, greaser?"
( Hinton 5).

# data[].attributes.body
"you should have carried a blade" (S. E. Hinton 13).

I think the quote reveals that when they are in a problem with a knife they take out their knife.

# data[].attributes.body
"They did. I was smarting and aching and my chest was sore and I was so nervous my hands were shaking and I wanted to start bawling, but you just don't say that to Darry."

I think this quote reveals the idea that sometimes you have to act tougher around certain people so you don't look weak around them.

# data[].attributes.body
"Need a haircut, greaser?"
(Hinton 5).

I think this quote reveals the idea that the Socs were going to hurt Ponyboy

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body

I think the quote reveals  that most people in society  tell funny jokes to make their and others day better.

# data[].attributes.body
"Tough and tuff are two different words. Tough is the same as rough; tuff means cool, sharp---like a tuff-looking Mustang or a tuff record. In our neighborhood both are compliments."
(Hinton 12).
I think the quote reveals how being called tuff,tough and ruff is a good thing to be called.

# data[].attributes.body
"I'm okay" -Ponyboy pg 7, the outsiders, S.E. Hinton.

I think this quote reveals the idea that males don't like showing they are hurt, or in pain, so as to not show weakness.

I think this quote reveals the idea that even the toughest people love and have a heart.

# data[].attributes.body
"I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me" (Hinton 18).

I think this quote reveals the idea that  people knowingly indulge in denial in order to deal with hard things that they face.

# data[].attributes.body
"Need a haircut, greaser?"
(Hinton 5).
I think the quote reveals the idea that some people are just plain mean.

# data[].attributes.body
"I had to read Great Expectations for English, and that kid Pip, he reminded me of us - the way he felt marked lousy because he wasn't a gentleman or anything, and the way that girl kept looking down on him."
(Hinton 15)

I think this quote reveals the idea that being in a lower class, and being made fun of it, never makes you feel good.

# data[].attributes.body
"If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked out to many times  lost in a crowd of strangers." page 11
(Hinton 11)
I think it reveals how he is a misfit and doesnt seem to fit in like the others.

# data[].attributes.body
"You can't beat them because they have all the brakes and money" (Hinton 10-11).

I think it meant that they were unstoppable.

# data[].attributes.body
"Me and Darry just didn't dig each other. I never could please him. He would have hollered at me for carrying a blade if I had carried one. If I brought B's, he wanted A's. If I was playing football, I should be in studying, and if I was reading, I should be playing football. He never hollered at Sodapop - not even when Soda dropped out of school or got tickets for speeding. He just hollered at me." ( Hinton 13 ).
I love this quote, because it explains the fact that Darry expects a lot from Ponyboy, and...I can relate to that in a mental way, because I would kind of expect the same if I was Darry.

# data[].attributes.body
Need a haircut greaser.
(Hinton 5)

I think that the quote reveals that the person who said that is a nasty person with bad potential and the socs are mean to the greasers

# data[].attributes.body
I was Sweating something fierce, although i was cold.
Hinton-4

i think this quote revels that he was sweating when it was cold outside he was although fierce.
