Hinton is about the loss of innocence and reveals that situations in peoples life can greatly impact them so much that it changes they way they think about things that happen and their life in general and dramatically changes it as well. ]]> 2019-03-14 18:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aniahjohnson11/86u8utnh7qcz/wish/341478432 aniahjohnson11 https://padlet.com/aniahjohnson11/86u8utnh7qcz/wish/341486004 S.E. Hinton develops a theme through the setting because of where she put the characters to live. She put the main character to live in the east of Tulsa, Oklahoma which is the rough side of the town, where people have to grow up fast, and where street smarts are more valuable than book smarts. She was also able to develop a theme through the characters because of Darry and Dally. Darry was able to provide/benefit to the theme of the novel because of his life, he was born in New York but didn't have a family to take care of him so he had to grow up quickly (loose his innocence) in order to survive as a young kid in the real world. He was involved in multiple things, he even went to jail at the age of 8. Dally also is able to prove the theme because he had to grow up quickly after both of his parents died to be able to take care of his two younger brothers. He wasn't able to go to college, even though he could've because he had to be able to pay for the things his family needed which meant he had to work not one but two jobs in order to make ends meet.]]> 2019-03-14 18:26:34 UTC https://padlet.com/aniahjohnson11/86u8utnh7qcz/wish/341486004 aniahjohnson11 https://padlet.com/aniahjohnson11/86u8utnh7qcz/wish/341527649 Darry had to grow up fast because he didn't have a family to take care of him and show him the right way.

"Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of
ten. He was tougher than the rest of us--- tougher, colder, meaner. The shade of difference that separates a greaser from a hood wasn't present in Dally."

They just need to focus on surviving

"I was trembling. A pain was growing in my throat and I wanted to cry, but
greasers don't cry in front of strangers. Some of us never cry at all. Like Dally and TwoBit and Tim Shepard--- they forgot how at an early age."

And he had given up a lot for Soda and me."
