The Outsiders Literary Analysis “We are our choices we make” J.P Sartre says. In the novel “The Outsiders” the choices made had their effects on the main character, Ponyboy Curtis. The choices varied from being optimistic choices and pessimistic choices. The choices committed made Ponyboy’s life emotional, his self concept pessimistic, and his relationships have a mix of positive and negative. Firstly, the effects of the choices made affected Ponyboy’s life to make it quite emotional.
