Plenty of valuable insights are illuminated about the world that we live in that greatly impacts how a person lives their life. A brilliant example of this is Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon.

The lyrics "Tonight, we are young / So let’s set the world on fire / We can burn brighter than the sun" channels the youthful energy and desire for freedom that many of the characters in The Outsiders feel.
In the following section of the paper, I will use the fantasy theme analysis, including its assumptions, and symbolic convergence theory in order to understand my artifact. The fantasy theme criticism was designed by Ernest G. Bormann "to look at how a group dramatizes an event or how a dramatization creates a special kind of myth that influences a group's thinking and behavior"(Rhetorical Criticism, fantasy theme criticism, p 167).

It usually happens when in a social
