Windows & Mirrors: The Outsiders by Ashley DePeau https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc Post your BEST example of a window or mirror from The Outsiders. EXPLAIN your thinking! en-us 2023-01-23 18:41:10 UTC 2026-01-30 21:13:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453725714 I think that when Johnny tells Ponyboy he’ll spend all night sleeping outside it’s a window because Johnny's tone makes it sound somewhat like he is angry but also acceptant of it. It shows how some people feel alone and are angry but know they can’t do anything about it.]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453725714 28seshadrin https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453725964 When Johnny was talking about killing himself, Pony helped him feel better.

Mirror

I know that I’ve helped people before when they were sad so I can understand how Pony felt.

He shares how he’s feeling and why he’s sad. He also tells us a bit about his parents. It’s a window because we get to see into his perspective.]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:28 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726042 https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726113 Nothing like this would ever happen to me making this a window. I’ve heard stories of people running away but I’ve never known anyone or even heard about anything happening like that in real life.]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726113 Window https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726417 One window is that in the outsiders all of the kids are pretty free to do and go where they want when they want but my parents are very strict and don’t let me go many places on my own]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:43 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726417 Forrest https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726684 In the Outsiders one line reads “Things are rough all over.” I believe this serves as a window into how life is for people who are less fortunate or live on the street.]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726684 https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726739 One of the mirrors that I had written down was that, in the movie, it made it seem like Dally didn’t die on purpose because he had all the Greasers come and he said Pony, in a sad way when he died. I would have probably been sad as well  ]]> 2023-01-23 18:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726739 Mirror https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726920 I think Ponyboy wanting to run away is a Mirror. I think this because at some times people may have wanted to run away to escape their problems or their life, instead of trying to fix it.]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453726920 Mirror https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453727260 When Pony kept telling himself Johnny would be ok and and that he wouldn’t die I felt it was a mirror. A few years ago before they died, my dogs would have daily seizures and episodes. I would always tell myself they would be fine not wanting to believe.]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453727260 Window https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453727636 One window in the story occurred at the drive in theater. At this moment, Dally is harassing Cherry and Marcia. This is a window because nowadays, that behavior wouldn’t fly. You can be charged for harassment. especially since Cherry’s a woman it is frowned upon.]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453727636 Mirror-Yash https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453727906 Just like normal people, Ponyboy and Johnny are simply admiring the sunset. It’s kind of weird that mere days after knifing somebody in a brutally violent, drunk scene, Johnny is admiring the sunset and talking about how beautiful it is. Even Greasers are born with some fundamental values and appreciation. I could see myself doing this, which is why I think this is a mirror.

This is a window because it shows me the perspective of what someone who is on the run has to sacrifice to survive even if it it really important.]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728126 Window https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728197 A window was when we saw Dally driving Ponyboy to the hospital. This is a window because it showed how upset Dally was, and the wall he’d built around himself had started to break]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:56 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728197 Hailey Strauss https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728231 A window was hiding out in the church because this would (maybe) never happen to me (hopefully)]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728231 https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728300 When Johnny and Ponyboy were going on the train, I noticed that this scene was a mirror to my life. This is a mirror to my life because it reflects something that has happened in my life or something that I have experienced. In this case, this scene is a mirror to my life because I have been on trains before, so I had experienced part of what was happening in that scene.]]> 2023-01-23 18:46:58 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453728300 Grady Warren https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453729041 My best window would have to be when Johnny says to Pony that he used to talk about killing himself, but now he doesn’t want to die. This is a window for us specifically, because Johnny had mentioned to Pony before that he wanted to kill himself, most likely as a result of his home environment. However, now he is saying he doesn’t want to die. This allows us to see the change in Johnny’s mindset/thinking, which is most likely a result of his time and conversations with Pony.]]> 2023-01-23 18:47:24 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453729041 Mirror https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453729217 The mirror I chose is when Johnny and Ponyboy are in the church and Johnny is regretting his actions of killing Bob. I chose this because, (I don’t kill people) but I know that feeling of doing something and immediately regretting it.]]> 2023-01-23 18:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453729217 Katie Ennis https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453732918 A mirror for me from the outsiders would be the Socs vs. Greasers rivalry though it is not nearly as bad as theirs (we don’t actually fight) my neighbors and I are very competitive when it comes to things like sports and baking. Everyone thinks they are the best similar to the Socs thinking their the best and the greasers thinking their the best ( or at least better than the Socs)]]> 2023-01-23 18:50:14 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453732918 Mirror: “Nothing Gold Can Stay” and “Gone With The Wind” https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453733865 S.E Hinton references two very popular pieces, “Gone With The Wind” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” in The Outsiders. While the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” was symbolic, and “Gone With The Wind” was used as a book Johnny and Pony Boy read for entertainment, I think S.E Hinton also chose both of these pieces because they are very popular and readers, especially ones our age, can relate to them. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is a very popular poem we read, and “Gone With The Wind” is one of the highest grossing films of all time, which makes it more likely that the reader can recognize both of these pieces, thus making it a “mirror.”]]> 2023-01-23 18:50:47 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453733865 Window 28malikz https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453735681 The Greasers are always blamed for most things and they always have to try to find ways to get out of it. When bad things happen, usually the police officers think it’s Dally, even if it may not have been him and he always goes to the church for hideout. I never had to run away because I have never been blamed for something like that. ]]> 2023-01-23 18:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453735681 https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453850527 The mirror I’m talking about occurred when Darry got mad at Ponyboy and he slapped him and ponyboy attempted to run away until the Socs came. The reason why I saw this as a mirror is because when I was younger and didn’t get my way I would sometimes to breathed to run away that’s why this is a mirror in a way but I could never really know what Ponyboy was really thinking or feeling in that moment. ]]> 2023-01-23 20:15:02 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2453850527 Arjun https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2454002725 One scene that I chose is when when Darry hugs Ponyboy and starts to get along with him when they reunite at the hospital. This was a mirror because me and my sister, we got past a point where we now sometimes fight, but also team up, for example, not telling our parents that we did a bad thing. If I ate a piece of dessert that I wasn’t allowed to, and my sister saw it, she would not snitch on our parents.]]> 2023-01-23 23:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/depeaua/uov8p4cc51ivq3tc/wish/2454002725
