2) Darry and Ponyboy talked and they knew on there mind, they are thinging each other and love each other. (p.84)
3) before the Socs and Greaser's rumble, Randy and Ponyboy talked at Randy's car, they learn about each other and they learn they are similar. (p.97)
In outsiders by S.E Hinton, the Socs and Greasers also between Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry shows that everyone is different and everyone has different background but all the people are similar than different.]]> 2017-10-24 17:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200104926 Stereotype 2207035 https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200123530 Most of our society today divides people into different groups based on bad observations.

1) "You know what a greaser is?" Bob asked, "White trash with long hair." (pg.55)
2) "And even if you are mad at us, thats no reason to go waling with these bums." (pg.45)
3) "They were right, you are a hood."(pg.15)

1) Ponyboy not understanding that Dally loves him and only want to keep him safe(page 3, 7, 45). But in the end of the book Ponyboy realized Dally hasn't had any experience with caring for anyone (page 84)
2) Cherry being a spy for the greasers (page. 72) Although Cherry is a Soc she want to help Ponyboy who thought she did it for charity but she did it because she liked Ponyboy (page. 110).
3) People not understanding Dally and how he is a hero. People think that Dally is a hoodlum thought he was actually a hero, he saved Johnny from a burning building because he loved him and for no other reason. He was devastated that Johnny died and that is the reason he died (page 131 ).

In the the Outsiders by S. E. Hinton, Johnny, Ponyboy and Darry make giant sacrifices but for good reasons.

1) Darry sacrifices is future and college to stay home and take care of ponyboy so he can go far in his life and go to college. (p.92)

2)By Killing Bob and saving himself and Ponyboy, johnny sacrifices his future.(p. 49)

1) Soda, Darry and Ponyboy all stick together and work hard to stay together (p.4, 91)
2) When Dally doesn't stick with the gang, it results in his death (p.141)
3) Johnny and the gang stick together to help him get through his home life (p.30)
In S.E Hinton's The Outsiders, the greasers help each other realize how important it is to stick together. ]]> 2017-10-24 17:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200124465 Loyalty 2207090 https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125283 Theme: Being there for your family is more important than anything.
1 Ponyboy stays with Johnny after the murder "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. "(pg 64)

2 Darry could be a Soc, but is loyal to his greaser family. (pg 108) "In spite of not having much
money, the only reason Darry couldn't be a Soc was us. The gang. Me and Soda. Darry
was too smart to be a greaser. I don't know how I knew, I just did."

3 Johnny follows Ponyboy into the fire to save the kids. "I looked around, startled. I hadn't realized Johnny had been right behind me all the
way." (pg 78)

In the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Darry show loyalty.]]> 2017-10-24 17:49:07 UTC https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125283 Death (I know it sounds dark and depressing) 2204029 https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125304 It doesn't matter how one arrives at death ,by conflict,sacrifice,or suffering, what is always true is that there will always be people who are left behind that will suffer as a result.
1)Johnny kills Bob, and as a result Bobs mother is scarred and extremely sad.(p. 49)
2)Another example is when Johnny sacrifices himself and leaves the gang, especially Dally really sad. (p.127)
3) One final example is when dally on purpose doesn't load his gun so that the cops will shoot him and he will commit suicide (p.131)
In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, there are many deaths that leave many people to suffer.]]> 2017-10-24 17:49:09 UTC https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125304 Identity 07001431 https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125378 Pieces of people's identity can be seen through details of their actions.
1. When Darry "jammed his fists into his pockets", we can see that he actually cares a ton for Ponyboy, he feels strong emotions for his family.
2. When Dally started to talk about his past in jail to Johnny and Ponyboy, we can see how he felt about the experience and how he doesn't want people that he cares for get hurt like he did.
3. When Johnny bought a book, back from the grocery store in thought of killing time. This showed his thoughtfulness.]]> 2017-10-24 17:49:16 UTC https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125378 Friendship 106455 https://padlet.com/AlisonMatthews/itb7hhkgq60e/wish/200125467 Theme: Friends always stick up for each -- even if doing so requires significant sacrifice.

Get somewhere. Run away. The police'll be here soon.' I was trembling, and it wasn't all
from cold" (50).

agony, and sweat streamed down his face.

He suddenly bolted through the door and down the hall" (127).

as I begged silently--- Please, not him... not him and Johnny both ---I knew he would be
dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted."
