Out siders eassy

Don’t you just hate when people judge you by your looks before even knowing you? Have you ever heard the expression, “Don’t judge a book by its cover”? In the book “the outsiders”, there are two different types of people, the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs are known as the more popular, rich kids. The greasers are known as the poor delinquents. They aren’t really as bad as people may think. Although they may be less fortunate, they aren’t bad people.

Johnny Cade, a young Greaser, is thought to be a delinquent. The Socs judge them by their looks and Johnny isn’t the most fortunate of people so he doesn’t look like he’s rich, he looks like he belongs to a gang, which he does. Johnny is actually a very nice 16 year old boy that is judged by the people he hangs out with. Just because the Greasers aren’t all rich, they shouldn’t be thought of as the scum on someone’s shoe.

Darry Curtis, the oldest member of the Greasers, is judged just because of who he hangs around with.If their parents hadn’t died in a car crash he would have most likely been a soc but he decided to keep his family by taking care of his younger brothers Sodapop and Ponyboy. He used to be on the football team; he was once a star, and he even had a scholarship for college. Darry had his life set, popular, athletic, smart, but he lost it all when his parents had died. If his parents hadn’t died, he would’ve been a Soc, and be living a good life, but instead is living in a bad neighborhood with the greasers being judged on how he looks.

Before Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dallas had saved those kids from burning a live, they were believed to be horrible people because of their reputation, but really, they are no different from you and I. They just have a bad reputation. If people would stop and talk to them they would say,” hey, these guys aren’t half bad”. No one deserves to be mistreated for their looks or for who their friends are.

You shouldn’t judge a person before you get to know them; it’s just not right. Who knows, maybe there really cool but look sort of funny, so you avoid them instead of finding out who they really are. Johnny, Darry, and the rest of the gang are judged before people ever really find out who they really are. They might be tough, and kind of scummy, but they still are humans.

Johnny is a dynamic characters because he wanted to turn himself in to the police. He wanted to do this because he killed a soc and he did not fell like he should be round anyone any more. He also be friends a soc and his name is Randey.

Out siders

I think this author made the title like this because the characters in this book are all kind of outsiders. The reason I think this is because none of them go to school and if they do go to school most of them don't get really good grades. They also get into fights on the side of the rode or in dark ally's by soces and they are a discrimination to people every were.

Conflicts

When the greasiness jump the soces and the soces like to fight back and that is why one of the soces jumped Johny. That is when Johny got his switch blade and decided to kill bob if he jumped him again. So he jumps Johny again but this time Johny was prepared and he stabbed him and killed him.
