Why Is The Outsiders Unfair

S.E Hinton
My big idea is unfair because sometimes you try to help other people in a good way but they see it in a wrong way or sometimes you work hard for something and you don’t get the result that you wanted it. Maybe someone is doing something that they should not be doing and that person involves you. I thought of “Unfair” as my big idea because the book The Outsiders is almost everything unfair. People be doing things that they are not supposed to but they are rich so they can cover that up really easily, instead poor people cannot. My perfect big idea for The Outsiders is “unfair” because sometimes greasers were doing everything right but the “Socs” came and fight them and the ”Socs” just leave like nothing had happened. When Johnny

In page 8 says “easy Ponyboy they ain’t gonna hurt you no more” so it means he’s going to be there for Ponyboy to support him and to defend Ponyboy if the socs wanted to jump on Ponyboy again. Ponyboy was walking home from the movie house and the socs came in a car saying “Need a haircut Greaser?” and Ponyboy got jumped by the socs. That was very unfair because Ponyboy was just walking home by himself and he was not doing anything wrong to get jumped by the socs. “If we don’t have each other, we don’t have anything” (page-176). They always keep themselves together doesn’t matter if they having good or bad times they always stay together so if something happen is not going to happen just to one of them, they all going to be there to defend themselves. People see greasers like if they bad, and all they want is fight and like if they always want to get in trouble to get attention because nobody look at them because they not in the same social level than everyone else but that is not the truth all they want is the socs and other people to stop treating them like if they were useless or worthless. “Sometimes life is unfair but trouble can keep people together” Greasers always stayed by their side they always stayed loyal with themselves, always supporting themselves, helping and being

“Sixteen years on the streets and you see a lot. But all the wrong sights, not the things you want to see” I think that quotations is really related to my theme and my big idea because it means that they might saw or learned some things that they didn’t want to but they had to because they didn’t have other way. Greasers lived in the streets because they had to, not because they chose to live in the streets, and they might want to do something or to get something better for life but life does not allow them. That is totally unfair because I think people should grow in position if they want to but sadly life is not always like that. “He died violent, young and desperate just like we all knew he’d die someday” sometimes people fight because someone is hurting them and they can’t stay there like nothing is happening, they have to defend themselves and their blood (family) doesn’t matter if doing things right or wrong, what matters is save your life and your family’s. I this this quotation can relate to The Outsiders book because he died violent, he died in a bad way, maybe he did things wrong while he was alive but maybe he didn’t have other way to do it, he didn’t deserve
