Hinton. I would say that one of the major themes of this book is that outcasts and people who are different from the vast majority get discriminated against and treated unfairly. just because some people are different they get treated unjustly.“Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.” -Ponyboy Curtis ]]> 2018-08-28 22:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276062421 giovanni_scialabba24 https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276765706 In the film adaptation of the book, Randy speaks with Ponyboy  about how all this fighting doesn't matter, and that "greasers will still be greasers and socs will still be socs." Meaning that the greasers will always be at the bottom, and the socs will always be on the top.  ]]> 2018-08-30 22:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276765706 giovanni_scialabba24 https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276772436 There is a court case that is currently going on where Harvard University is getting accused of "scoring Asian-American applicants lower on the personal rating than the white applicants" meaning that they are treating asian people differently than white people.]]> 2018-08-30 23:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276772436 giovanni_scialabba24 https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276773807 A hospital in Michigan is facing a lawsuit because a patent refused medical treatment from a black woman. The manager sent the message that it was okay to honor patient requests based on race. Similar to the book, Cherry refuses to even talk to Ponyboy just because he is a Greaser."if I see you in the hall and don't say hi, well, it's not personal or anything. […] We couldn't let our parents see us with you all."]]> 2018-08-30 23:53:48 UTC https://padlet.com/giovanni_scialabba24/iub9u6ys7suq/wish/276773807
