The Outsiders: 1960s by Michelle https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo Michelle Macina en-us 2017-09-24 15:07:51 UTC 2026-01-28 22:09:07 UTC hello@padlet.com Fashion toefur13 https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/190571233 In the 1950's the clothing was conservative and more classic than the 60's. The 1960's had whimsical patterns, bright colors, and long hair. Women in the mid-60's wore tighter waists like London, and in the late 1960's flare-bottom pants were popular and really short-shorts were common. Men in the early 60's wore pretty much the same thing as they did in the 1950's like the women's clothing did, but later on they started to wear tighter fitting pants and they grew out their hair,

They were rebellious, but dressed somewhat like authority. They even inspired some movies like, "The Wild One" and, "Rebel Without a Cause".

In 1960 the buyers were demanding smaller cars so they started producing a few compact cars to please the customers. 
And in 1963-64, the big sales pitch was the horse power. New engines ranged from 95 horse-power all the way to 360 horse-power!

In 1964, there were 2.8 million TV sets compared to the 55 million black-and-white sets. And almost all the shows by NBC were in color, 50% of CBS' were in color, and only forty percent of ABC's shows were in color. 
The Pope's visit to New York City and Frank Sinatra's 50th birthday were both big deals on TV]]> 2017-09-24 16:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/190582238 Mrs. Charles toefur13 https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/193031714 Sticky notes - 55 million black and white sets when?

Hinton's book, The Outsiders, has many similarities and differences from the time period in which it was made. One example is the cars. Mustangs, Corvairs, and Stingrays were popular cars in the 60's and 70's. Bob, a soc, drives a Mustang, and several other socs drive popular cars like Corvairs and Stingrays. Paul Newman was a popular actor during the time of The Outsiders. Ponyboy Curtis liked watching Paul Newman movies. Drive-in movies were also popluar in both the 1960's and The Outsiders. Ponyboy, Two-Bit, and Johnny went to a drive-in movie where they met Cherry and Marcia.  ]]> 2017-11-19 18:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/208506969 Differences toefur13 https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/208507286 When S. E. Hinton wrote The Outsiders, she left out many aspects of the 1960's. She didn't mention the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. They were important people in American society. When they were killed it was a big shock to everyone. Also, space travel was some of the most popular news at the time. The Russians started the space exploration race by sending 
Yuri Gagarin into space. Then in 1962, John Glenn became the first man to orbit Earth. And finally in 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon. But space exploration was not the only thing on people's mind. The Vietnam War was raging, and many didn't believe it was a war worth fighting. The Outsiders didn't mention any of these aspects of life in the 1960's.

Hinton added a lot of history into The Outsiders like conflicts and characters. She used the main conflict of her high school years in the 1960's to create The Outsiders. The Greaser versus Soc conflict of the 1960's was shown greatly through her book. The main characters, Ponyboy, Darry, Sodapop, Two-Bit, Dally, Steve, and Johnny are greasers. They have fights and arguments with socs like Bob and Randy. S. E. Hinton makes the theme of the book, everyone is the same, because in her high school she wasn't a greaser or a soc, and she realized they were all the same. She also incorporates the popular actor, Paul Newman, so people reading her book could relate to Ponyboy's love for the movies. Dally being from the rough streets of New York allowed her to add in how tough life was for some people; abusive parents, always being on guard, and murders or jumpings. She mentions cars a lot because they were the big status symbol of the 1960's. Socs like Bob and Randy had Mustangs, Corvairs, and Stingrays showing they had a lot of money that their parents just allowed them to spend. Integrating history into The Outsiders made it more realistic and tangible to the readers. ]]> 2017-11-19 19:12:00 UTC https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/208511729 Mrs. Charles https://padlet.com/toefur13/fh2duxd2x3xo/wish/214534673 Similarities - 10/10
