Ponyboy And Greasers Are Outsiders

291 Words2 Pages

An outsider usually is someone that is not with a group or a person that’s separates themselves from a group or society. Maybe the Greasers and Ponyboy are outsiders. They might be outsiders because they have long hair that they never wash. Maybe they’re outsiders because they don 't have money like most the Socs do. Maybe they’re outsiders because they don 't wear fancy clothes and drive fancy corvettes to school. But I don 't think it 's fair to judge someone just because they have long hair that hasn 't been bathed in years. They should judge someone on their personality or how they are on the inside. Like how Cherry didn 't go oh god it 's the greasers we better leave although she knew greasers had a bad background she stayed and got a

    The Outsiders In my opinion, I think that I can relate to Ponyboy. I think this because like Ponyboy I am caring, respectful, responsible, and could be rough at times. If I were in his situation of Johnny’s death and Dally’s death I would feel the same. Johnny did die a hero but Dally died because he wanted to and was just mad and devastated about Johnny’s death.

Dallas Winston is a hoodlum from New York who had been arrested many times since he was 10 years old.

  • Ponyboy's Character Development In Outsiders

    In the book, Outsiders, I noticed the most character development in Ponyboy Curtis. Although he didn’t realize many things until the end of the book, I think once everything registered within himself, he took everything that had happened to him in the past couple weeks as a lesson. One thing that Ponyboy finally grasped was that his oldest brother Darry actually cared for him. At first Ponyboy had always thought that Darry didn’t like him and that Darry would rather him be gone. However, after his friends repeatedly reassured Ponyboy that his older brother had been hard on him because he really loved and cared about him, Ponyboy slowly started to realize that, even though the two still fought a bit.

    To be an outsider means that you or someone else has joined some form of group and has had no previous experience, such as, going to a new school where you don’t know anyone and have never really been there before. I have been an outsider many times in my life, but the one that sticks out the most was when I went to a forensic summer camp this past summer. Since the main summer camp I had gone to the previous year had lost funding, I decided to go to multiple camps over the summer. Since the middle school camp was full and since I was going into eighth grade, they decided to put in with the high schoolers. I was very nervous for the first few days, but I gradually got to know people when the counselors put us into groups for different activities.
