Pony and his brothers were in gang with Dallas Winston, Two-bit Mathews, Steve Randle ,and finally Johnny Cade who was 16 year old boy that was beaten by his father and his mother and weeks before he had been jumped by a group of Socs and had beaten so bad he was almost dead.

In the story The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton, there are two rival groups/ gangs, the greasers and the Socs. A young boy named Ponyboy explained his journey being a greaser and the sacrifices, consequences, and decisions he had to manage with. This story reminds me of William Shakespeare's story Romeo and Juliet of their similarities which are they gangs, fights, and loyalty and differences that are the wealthiness, behaviors, and between the two books. One of the similarities of the two books is the groups/ gangs, because in Romeo and Juliet there are the Montague and Capulets and in The Outsiders there are the greasers and the Socs. They are both enemies and try to sabotage and fight each other when every they have the chance to.
Is it possible for two friends that admire each other to have similar and different characteristics? In S.E. Hinton’s story The Outsiders there are two such characters that have similarities and differences. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston are similar because they have abusive parents, and they both have very little values on their life. Additionally, they have differences that involve the law and the way they want to die. Therefore, Dally Winston and Johnny Cade have huge differences in their lives, but also notable similarities.
Many people have used violence to solve problems that they have at some point in their life, but as you look back at what you accomplished, you realized that violence doesn’t help you in a good way.

One scene that reveals the idea that violence isn’t the answer and that it can only hurt others, was in Chapter 3 when ponyboy talks about what happened to Johnny. He said, “Johnny was lying face down on the ground.
When you think of family you might think of adults and their children, or kids who lost their parents but are still related to each other. The Outsiders by S.E Hinton tells otherwise. It shows that even if you are not related, you can still be family; you can still have love and affection for each other. In the book, there is a contradiction between the gang’s biological family and their “family”. There is connection shown between the greasers from the Socs in the blue Mustang to Johnny dying in the hospital not wanting to see his mother.
What does change really mean? How does it affect someone's way of life, thinking, or even perspective? How can someone's viewpoint alter? A common theme shown in The Outsiders by S.E.

The author indicates this by using Ponyboy’s perception of many characters throughout the novel.
