Something that's interesting about this section in particular is that it is one of the very few times Anderson uses ethos throughout the whole essay.

Ethos is the accountability and the personal experience author has obtained, this is an important part of the article because it helps bring it credibility. The audience can tell that ethos is one of the main strategies Heath uses because she brings in the opinions of other people and states their entire background.

Robin Williams was an actor and also a comedian. He was well known for his roles as the funny characters, that you’d see on Disney.
Criminals are what they are because of their actions, but could there be honor and good intentions among the lawless? In the book The Outsiders,, by S.E. Hinton, the Greasers are considered by the society as a reckless gang of hoodlums, but they treat each other like family, which separates them from other gangs in the city.

Thematic Essay- Society and Class Society and class is an important theme in “The Outsiders”, a novel written by S.E Hinton. “The Outsider”, is a book about two gangs, the Greasers and the socs who are rivals because of their economic and social differences.

Just like how the idiomatic expression “beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” is perceived, ‘moral values’, to a different person, has a distinct meaning. Moral values, more often than not, are defined according to the cultural beliefs. Each culture has its own sets of rules and beliefs to determine what is crucial, trivial, right, wrong, good and bad. For instance, it is vital for Chinese children to practice filial piety as it is an essential value of Chinese traditional culture (POŠKAITĖ, 2014); hence, living with parents, regardless of the marital status, is the right thing to do for it is good. On the contrary, Western children are not entitled to such obligation.
Out of all the characters from Outsiders the one that appealed to me the most was two-bit because of how silly he is throughout the story. Two-bit was always the one to cheer people up when they were down and he could also get tough when he needed to be tough. Compared to two-bit my least favorite character is dally cause of how violent he is throughout the story he was always either tormenting or threatening someone and that just never appealed to me. In outsiders I have always felt like i related to Ponyboy the most cause of his love for books and sports.
Overall, there is a number of reasons why the WW1 lasted for so long and was not ‘over by Christmas’ as it was suggested by German military leaders. The most important factor is the advances in the military technology and introduction of new and improved armaments such as poison gas and machine guns. This lead to an increased popularity of the trench warfare, which decelerated the course of the war. Although, that is the most significant factor, there are other reasons, which explain the duration of the war, such as a diplomatic stalemate. The inability of military leaders of both Central and Allied powers to reach a consensus on territorial and political issues have led to a prolongation of the war.
