  • The Outsiders Theme Of Identity

    301 Words  | 2 Pages

    While S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders touches on identity, agency, and community, I believe the major theme is identity. The question of how people can be so different and have such different lifestyles yet share the same fundamental human characteristics is one that Hinton explores in depth through Ponyboy’s examination of his own identity and the identities of the other young adults in his town. Ponyboy grapples with the distinction between greasers and Socs several times throughout the novel, such as when Cherry Valance claims “you greasers have a different set of values” (38). In the same conversation with Cherry, Ponyboy later claims that the reason greasers and Socs are different is that “it’s feeling – you don’t feel anything and we feel

    In S.E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders, there is a colorful palette of characters, from the easy-going and charming Sodapop to the spoiled and arrogant Bob Sheldon, from the intelligent and athletic Darry, to skittish and troubled Johnny. In a couple hundred pages, the author brilliantly captures a full range of human behavior and emotion and illustrates how, though we may share similar values and experiences with some of the members of our clique, we are never truly defined simply by our adherence to any particular group. We can, in fact, find ourselves on opposing ends of the spectrum with some of our closest allies. Ponyboy and Dallas are two vibrant characters, who share many common traits. United by their deep hatred of the Socs, these
