Stereotypes Of The Outsiders The emotional portrayal of deprived student’s discounts The Outsiders demonstrates the remodel potential of challenging social obligations.

History is what we learn in school about the past, about people’s culture, their way of life, their beliefs, their fight and their dreams. However, history is not an absolute truth. In fact, every story has more than one version. The History of the native American in the United States still one of the most controversial subjects in history, not only because of all the ambiguity filled in the story, but also and more importantly because the it was written by only one side. Indeed, it was written by the winners, the invaders, and the dominants.
Stereotypes in The Outsiders Stereotypes are a big theme in the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, this book explores the life of 2 rival groups: the Socs and the Greasers. While the novel is about the 2 social classes and their differences, it focuses on the life of a greaser named Ponyboy and the struggles he had as a greaser he went through. The novel will teach the differences between the two social classes, how being poorer than one another makes a difference in the kids' lives, and how to never judge a book by its cover. One way the author teaches us about the theme of stereotypes is through the scene where Ponyboy says “we were poorer than the socs and the middle class”. I reckon we're wilder, too.
In “One for the Road” by Stephen King, Ritchie is an example of the non-believer stereotype, because he doesn’t believe that anything will happen to him when he goes to the lot. In “One for the Road” a couple wrecks their car into a snowbank, and the man walks back into town to a bar. Ritchie is the usual drunk and doesn’t believe anything will happen if he goes to the lot. When Ritchie leaves he never returned. Then, the man and the bar owner go looking for his wife and kid, and they had all been bitten by vampires.

The movie Crash spoke of the issue of racism and discrimination; these issues are still faced today. Many of the characters in the movie come from impoverished backgrounds such as the hispanic man who worked in order to support his family. These people are somewhat relatable; they can serve as reminders to us of past relatives who immigrated into the United States. The movie shows us common examples of stereotypes; these stereotypes may not be true, but they still have ill effects on the characters within the movie. The movie not only shows us stereotypes, but also tries to give us an understanding about where these stereotypes originate.
Stereotypes are often frowned upon, yet they are commonly used to form opinions on people and ideas. Some of these stereotypes are about sensitive subjects in today’s society and are not discussed very often. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey does not shy away from controversial topics regarding things like mental illness. The novel revolves around life in a psychiatric hospital and is told through the eyes of a mentally ill man named Chief Bromden. It is seen how difficult it can be to live with mental illness in an environment where stereotypes thrive.
Sometimes in life, people will have to deal with other people that are judgmental and listen to stereo types when they know nothing about the person. In the short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver, there are some examples of stereotyping. This story is about a woman who has a good friend of hers and he is blind. The blind man, whose wife had just recently died and was traveling to go visit his family, was stopping at the women’s house overnight. The blind man and the narrator’s wife knew each other.
“As if!” there are still stereotypes of women. Society has getting better with trying not to stereotype women, but after studying the movie Clueless, the stereotypes that were shown in the movie still exist today. For many years women have been told that they have to fit a certain image for our society’s needs. From a woman’s perspective, there are many expectations that are held and are impossible to be met. From a young age, girls everywhere are being told that what they’re doing is never good enough.
Robert Emerson said, "People only see what they are prepared to see." This quote explains how people only see stereotypes. They judge others from the stereotype of society. That is exactly what "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver portrays: The idea that different aspects in life are not what they seem to be. The information in the media limited the narrator from truly “seeing” Robert.
Conforming to society guides people’s perspectives, generating discrimination, racism, and other oppressive forces. In “The Blind Side,” directed by John Handcock, Michael Oher struggles to conform to societal expectations, adversely influencing his mental and physical state. Through the help of the Tuohy family, Oher overcomes his oppressive childhood and become a famous NFL left tackle. Facing intense discrimination and hate from society, Oher becomes withdrawn to protect himself from harm.
Lulu Asselstine Mrs. Olsen LA 8 5 November, 2017 Stereotypes and Perspectives When looking at a bunch of bananas in a grocery store, people tend to choose the perfect spotless bananas, since stereotypically food that is perfect looking, with no flaws, taste better. However, people soon realize that when you start to eat bananas that have more spots and are imperfect they turn out to be sweeter and better. This connects to stereotypes because people who follow stereotyped will always eat the perfect bananas; however, people who choose to look through another perspective can realize that the imperfect bananas are better. This connects to The Outsiders because Ponyboy realizes this after he talks with two Socs, kids from a rival group named Randy and Cherry. In The Outsiders, S.E Hinton presents the idea that teenagers can break through stereotypes if they look at life through another perspective; as shown in the book when Ponyboy starts to talk to Cherry and Randy and realizes the stereotypes about them are false.
Stereotyping is an issue that affects all ages, genders, and races. Not all stereotypes are bad, but when you maliciously stereotype it becomes a problem. In S.E. Hinton’s young adult novel The Outsiders, stereotyping is a significant issue. There are two gangs in this novel, the “greasers”, and the “Socs”. The greasers live on the east side and are known as “hoods”.
