The Outsiders

SEXXXY 1 The switchblade is a symbol in the outsiders	We know this by how it caused the whole run away thing by johnny stabbing bob	This shows the switchblade is really important to this book by it causing the whole thing And is used a lot	The author (S.E Hinton) did this to make the book have some fear and stuff to the reader like when it says “johnny pulled his blade out” they know what will happen	This can be compared with bleeding in the alley (idk the name) how the jacket is the cause of everything
SEXXXY 2 Another thing in the outsiders is the difference between socs and greasers	One example is poor and the rich which is one of the main ones and is one reason why greasers don't like the socs	This shows the difference between them and why the greasers thin they have harder time than them because they're rich	The purpose of this is to show how gangs are like e.g west and east,rich and poor and others	This can be compared with real gangs that dislike each other some are rich some are poor
SEXXXY 3 Another thing in the outsiders is the three brothers and their differences	For example ponyboy and darry don't see eye to eye most of the time and sodapop is always  stuck trying to stop it	This shows why ponyboy thinks darry hates him so much but really he is just worried about him	This was done to make the book about family and stuff	This can be compared with me and my friends  when people argue  one person always stops it
SEXXXY 4 Another thing in the outsiders is that ponyboy is loyal	For example when johnny had killed bob ponyboy had nothing to do with it he could've bailed but he went with johnny instead	This shows that ponyboy is loyal to the gang and will stick with his friends/gang members no matter what	This was done to make ponyboy more like a good person and will be there for his friends/family/gang	This can be compared to when the rumble was about to begin ponyboy felt sick but he still wanted to fight so he sticks with the gang
