“I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman-he

looks tough and I don’t-but I guess my own looks

aren’t so bad.”

“We’re poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we’re

wilder, too.”

“And nobody in our gang digs movies and books

the way I do.”

“I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe

me.”

“I used to make A’s in

English.”

“I’ve always been kind of

absent minded.”

“I never noticed clouds and

colors and stuff until you kept reminding me

about them.” -Johnny

“You’re a nice kid, Ponyboy.” -Cherry

1) Man vs. Man (physical) – Ponyboy and the other boys fight against the Socs with fists and knives, but they have guns and

the most might

2) Man vs. Circumstances (classical) – Ponyboy struggles with the fact that he wasn’t born with money and priviledge

3) Man vs. Society (social) – Ponyboy and the Greasers struggle against the wealth and the elevated social position of the Socs

4) Man vs. Himself/Herself (psychological) - Ponyboy struggles with the trouble he feels he has caused and whether to turn

himself in or not

It doesn’t feel good to be on the ‘outside’

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Nature’s first green is gold,Her hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf’s a flower,

But only so an hour.

As leaf subsides to leaf,So Eden sank to grief.

So dawn goes down today,Nothing gold can stay.

Page 11: The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton

Written by Hinton as a 16 year old, so sometimes

themes are oversimplistic. The world is black or white, Greaser or Soc, nothing in

between.

Very accessible to young readers. It was

essentially the first young adult novel that gave a realistic look at what it was like to be

a teenager.

Hinton criticized for her overly macho male

characters and her rather flat and stereotypical

female characters.
