Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop’s parents died in a car crash, which forces  Darry to grow up too fast and be a parent and a role model to Pony and Soda. Pony said in regards to Darry,  “Darry didn't deserve to work like an old man when he was only twenty.  He had been a real popular guy in school; he was the captain of the football team and he had been voted Boy of the Year.  But we just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won.  And now he didn't have time between jobs to even think about college”(Hinton 16).  Pony thinks that Darry doesn’t deserve what has happened. He thought this because Darry had a good life and almost everything he wanted until their parents died and he had to become a parent.

In the book the “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton, there is a constant theme of sticking together. The Greasers had 3 rules and one of them is to alway stick together. For example when Johnny killed Bob, he said “I had to, they were drowning you Pony.” (Hinton 57). Johnny only thought for Pony in that moment. He did not care about the consequences that he would have to deal with he only cared about sticking by his friend. All in all, the gang always sticks together and would do anything to save one another no matter the consequences.

“Sticking Together”
In “The Outsiders”, by S.E. Hinton sticking together is a topic mainly showed in most of the story. For Ponyboy and all of the Greasers, they have to follow that rule. This theme is shown through most of the story because the Greasers stay together as a team. For example Ponyboy states, “ Us greasers usually stick together” (Hinton 29). The gang only have each other and their job is to stick together. The greasers have had a hard life especially some of them; meaning they would stay together and be a family. All in all, the greasers have been stuck together through most of their life like S.E. Hinton showed in the novel.

You can tell that everyone is proud of them when their teacher says, “Mrs. O’Briant and I think you were sent straight from heaven. Or are you just professional heroes or something?” (Hinton 95).  It was not common for the greasers to get complimented for what they do, so that is why Pony and Johnny were both so surprised. All in all, being a hero is possible for anyone, just like how S.E Hinton showed in the novel The Greasers.

Violence in The Outsiders

“Violence is never the answer” is a theme in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. In The Outsiders, the Greasers always get beat up by the Socs, “Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped” (Hinton 2). Greasers should be able to walk alone without getting “jumped” or beat up by the Socs. Violence is very unsafe and against the law. Violence can result in death or serious injuries. Violence is also crime, it is called asalt. All in all, as we see in The Outsiders, Johnny lost his life due to unnecessary violence.

In the novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton Learned that when judging people on their looks and social class you will mainly wrong. Pony just has a natural hatred for the Socs and assumes they are stuck up. Cherry tries to assure them that they have another side when stating “We’re sophisticated… cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us.” (Hinton 33) Cherry is trying to tell Pony that she is not the typical-focused on wealth, Greaser hater- that she looks to be. She also says that she has a different mindset and perspective on the world then your average Soc. In a way she is like the Pony of the Socs- an outcast.

Loyalty in “The Outsiders”

In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton the readers tend to think the Greasers are nothing but slobs, and poor people that just want to beat the Socs. But in reality they are all loyal and respectful to each other. For example, Ponyboy and Johnny were in the lot when the Soc’s pulled up and started to walk towards them. David started to drown Ponyboy in the water fountain and Johnny was watching the incident happen, and had to think fast before Ponyboy lost his breath. So he took out one of his switchblades and stabbed bob to his death. All the other Soc’s ran away afraid of what was to come next, Ponyboy was okay but Johnny was terrified. At that moment Johnny knew he did something terribly wrong, but Johnny killed him so that his friend could stay alive. Even though their could have been another way to settle the problem, Johnny didn’t want Ponyboy to die. This was because Ponyboy is a Greaser and friend, he needed help and he got help from Johnny. This shows that Johnny is loyal to his gang, and he will kill someone to help the other survive.

In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, we see how important loyalty is to the characters in this novel. The narrator, Ponyboy is in a gang with his brothers and friends. Ponyboy says that “When you're a gang, you stick up for the members. If you don't stick up for them, stick together, make like brothers, it isn't a gang any more” (Hinton 24). Ponyboy and the gang are loyal to each other and stick up for one another, no matter what kind of trouble they are in or what they’ve done. They do this because they can't live without each other and they only have each other.

For example, Greasers in the novel, are mostly known as “trouble” and don’t really show any hero like actions throughout the novel. Although, when Johnny and Ponyboy went into the church to rescue the children they weren't seen as “hoodlums” or “trouble”. The young children’s teacher said to Pony about the three boys (Pony, Johnny and Darry) “Mrs.O’Briant and I think you were sent straight from heaven. Or are you just professional heros or something?” (Hinton 95). Ponyboy is simply surprised by what the teacher had said to him. He was a Greaser and he knew that, and many people did not think of greasers as “heroes” or people “sent from heaven”. So for a Greaser to hear someone say he is a hero and sent from heaven is unusual 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.

Erica Luzzi, Mrs. Sental, Language Arts 3, December 5, 2016, Choice     In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, we learn that choosing wisely makes an impact on any outcome, in any situation. Some of the characters in the novel show that making the right or wrong choice makes a very big impact on what happens in their life. For example, Johnny and Ponyboy chose to go save the children from the fire in the church. If they hadn’t gone and saved the children they could have  died, but if they would have just stayed in Dally’s car they could have avoided getting severely injured, and in Johnny’s case dying. Though they both felt like they had to when Ponyboy says, “ I’ll get them don’t worry!” I started at a deal run for the church, and the man caught my arm. “ I’ll get them. You kids stay out!” “ I jerked loose and ran on.” “Hey Ponyboy.” “ I looked around startled. I hadn’t realized Johnny had been right behind me the whole time.” ( Hinton 91-92). Ponyboy and Johnny chose to get the kids instead of watching, Ponyboy did not even listen to the man he went right in with Johnny right behind him. They chose to do this because they love to help people, especially Johnny. All in all, Johnny, Ponyboy, and others show that it is very important to make the right choice because it could impact anyone’s life greatly.

In the novel, The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, we learn that when people grow up they become more mature.  Some people in the novel have to take care of others and are the oldest.  For example, Darry and Dally had to grow up fast.  Darry has to take care of his brothers a bit and make most of the money since both the mom and dad died.  A lot of kids or adults know of the saying, “growing up comes with responsibility”.  Darry has to take care of Soda and Ponyboy and more towards the end has gotten more responsible for Pony.  Darry was yelling at Ponyboy than after, “Darry didn't deserve to work like an old man when he was only twenty.  He had been a real popular guy in school; he was the captain of the football team and he had been voted Boy of the Year.  But we just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won.  And now he didn't have time between jobs to even think about college”(Hinton 16).  Also Dally didn't get a education and grew up fast but was always in crime.  Dally didn't have much of a point in life after Johnny died too cause it was the only thing he loved.  So Dally had it really rough.  All the boys help eachother in life.  Darry through the years had it the rough taking care of Soda and Pony with his jobs.  All in all, Darry, Dally and some other characters in The Outsiders experienced, “growing up coming with responsibility” more than others.

One big example of courage was when Johnny killed bob when Ponyboy was drowning. Johnny reacted by saying “I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you. And they had a blade …”(Hinton 57). Johnny was showing great courage by besides just sitting there and getting threatened by Bob and watching Ponyboy drowning to death, he reacted quickly and saved Ponyboy’s life. Even though he killed Bob, Davis still got scared and ran away. Therefore, Johnny was very courageous for saving Ponyboy’s life.

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.
