I have currently finished the realistic fiction book The Outsiders. I loved this book for multiple reasons. One of them is because the plot keeps me at the edge of my seat after every page I turn until I reach the end. Also, the story is very relatable and realistic to teens my/our age. And lastly, I like the heart of the story that the world is dark, and light is precious. The most important theme of the story is to be the light in a world of darkness. I know this because the whole book revolves around getting out of the darkness and making sure that you are the light of your own future. In this case, Ponyboy is reminded by Johnny himself (when he said, “Stay gold.”) and his handwritten letter in the end of the book that he must be the good in a bad situation. Ponyboy takes this to account and makes sure that he remains gold when things become malevolent.

(My own question: What does this book remind you of? Why?) This book TOTALLY reminds me of The Tale of Despereaux by Kate DiCamillo because the theme of being the light in a dark world corresponds to one another. The Tale of Despereaux is one of my favorite books because of its distinct theme that The Outsiders also has and its wonderful story about a mouse who is determined to be the light that guides everyone. (My own question: Is there any character resemblance that you can find between these two books?) The character resemblance I see is Despereaux and the author of The Outsiders, who decided to write this book to guide people and to also show them that there is always light when there is darkness. I definitely can make personal connections to The Outsiders due to the separation of these social groupings.

All in all, I loved this book, and the life lesson was well-taught.

I have read the book, "The Outsiders," by S.H. Hilton. I liked this book a lot, although I would not say it was my most favorite book, I must say that it was a very well written one. The book described a lot of things that is even happening to us right now. We all experience times when we think we don't belong here, or we experience times of sadness, when we feel like "what's the use?" This book definitively describes life how it is in a jaw dropping tale about this group of misfits. Probably the most important theme of the story is to keep on fighting and keep on living. Pony went through a lot and we all know that. He saw the deaths of two of his best friends,(well not necessarily Dally, but you get he point) and has both of his parents dead as well. Pony might have thought that it was easier to just give up but with the help of Darry he keeps on going teaches us to never give up whenever things seem bleak.

Question: Which is better- this or ATD? Definitively ATD. This book might have had a deep meaning but ATD was amazing. ATD was incredibly written and had such a hilarious tone inside of it as well making it have a serious message, but also giving the reader enjoyment and laughter in it. ATD also was based on a true story meaning that the author experienced it all making the book more meaningful where as for the Outsiders, it was well written, but I didn't get a good feeling of it. I thought that it did make me want to read more, with all the drama occurring, but I just couldn't feel it.
Question:To whom would you recommend this book? I recommend this book to anyone who wants a great story with a lot of meaning and enjoys drama and action at every turn. This book has parts that make you go "Oh my god!" such as when Johnny killed Bob or the sad parts when Johnny and Dalls died. Definitively something that would make people's jaw drop.

We have all just finished reading the coming-of-age book "The Outsiders" by S.E.Hinton. I personally liked this book because it was all about problems and lives that our society doesn't even pay attention to as much as it needs to. This book basically talks about how the other side of society lives and how they handle life much differently then them. The theme of the book is to "always expect the unexpected". This is most important theme because none of the characters in the book ever expected what would happen. For instance nobody ever thought that Johnny would murder Bob Sheldon. Nobody ever thought that Dally would do what he did. This shows that the theme "always expect the unexpected" apply perfectly to the book.

Question 1: Which is better--this or Absolutely True Diary? Why? - I think that The Outsiders are better because although Absolutely True Diary is an amazing book, the outsiders show us a darker side to reality. The Outsiders also help relate those who might have similar problems such as depression and drama.

Question 2: Own interesting question - Which character do you think made the most progress since the beginning of the book? Why? - I think that the character that made the most progress since the beginning of the book is Ponyboy. For example Ponyboy had to deal with the loss of both his parents, Johnny's death, and Dally's death. While most people would've probably broke down from stress and depression; Ponyboy kept his life together, although he might not have kept it together 100% he got it together in the end and was putting his life back together without subsiding his emotions like he was when his parents died. This shows that Ponyboy has made a lot of progress since the beginning of the book with subsiding his feelings about his parents to the side and putting all of his effort onto school the death of Johnny and Dally brought out all of the emotions that he should've dealt with long ago. However, although Ponyboy had not successfully overcome his situation, he did not give up like the Brumbly brother, Tim Shepards gang, and Dally did instead he started getting it back together piece by piece slowly. Therefore Ponyboy was getting his life back together and staying gold as Johnny had told him to.

I liked the book "The Outsiders." I liked it a lot because it was interesting. I could relate to it a lot, even if I don't have the same exact issues as Ponyboy and the Greasers or Socs. When I could relate to it, it made it more interesting for me. I found myself thinking, what would I do if I was in this situation? That just makes it all the more exciting when something suspenseful happens. This book makes me want to keep reading! The theme of the Outsiders is the troubled youth, and society and class issues. Troubled youth are represented by the problems that the Greasers and Soc's have, and society and class issues are represented by how separated The Greasers and Soc's are by the class they are, and what side of town they live on.

I made some personal connections to the text. When Dally killed himself, I felt him kind of. Not that I would kill myself. But it was all too much for him, and he didn't really have anyone or anything to live for. Sometimes I feel like I have nobody there for me. I feel like I only love a couple people. I feel really overwhelmed and upset with life. But in the end of things, I try to remember that I have friends and family who care for me. That's enough. I love them. I liked this book better than ATD. Mostly because it was a lot more suspenseful. Instead of the plot revolving around death and education like in ATD, it revolved around violence and murder and rumbles, which I found so interesting!

I really liked the book "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. I really liked it because it is one of those book that gives you a different perspective. Every character has a different experience but they all stick together no matter what. What really made the book interesting was when Johnny murdered Bob. After that that was when things started to get more deeper and exciting. What makes it more touching is that the emotions is not made up, it is what the author actually felt. The biggest theme in the book is not only to judge people before you know them but also it shows to never quit. When Johnny at the end told Pony to stay golden he meant to never quit on what he loves to do. To not get tough like Dally at the end and commit suicide because he felt like he had nothing to live for. Pony especially saw how Darry dropped out of school to take care of him and Soda. Basically don't let anything stop you from being what you want to become. It doesn't matter what class you are in just keep on pursuing your dream and whatever tragedy happens to you don't let it stop you from having a purpose in your life.

I would recommend this to any body who loves a good though provoking book. Whatever genre you like this is a kind of book that shows you reality but in a different way. I certainly like this better that ATD because ATD was just mostly filled with jokes about reality that is really sad. In the Outsiders there is nothing to joke about because it is a serious matter. In addition the Outsiders is more deeper and it has more of emotion than ATD. This book TOTALLY compares with other books I have read in the same genre. I don't think I have read a book that was so deep. I think even the suspense it different. The suspense is almost like a matter between life and death. I don't know how to do describe it. This book has a plethora of things that is different from the same genre I read. I think the interesting aspect of the text was both character development and the conflict. We can obviously see that Ponyboy changed because of the traumatic experience he had with his parents, Johnny, and Dally. His personality changed from being not being tuff to being tuff like Dally. That was why he needed Johnny's last words "Stay golden" to remind him to not become like Dally. The conflict was also an interesting aspect of the text because of the clash of the social classes. Since there was a war happening between the classes that was when the suspense really started. Even the characters made the conflict more interesting.

I really enjoyed the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton It really has a good plot and a good story line. I would bet that people that were alive at that time would have absoloutely loved this book. Even though I wasn't in that time period I still loved it. I think that the most important theme was to stick together. That was the most important theme because it showed that if they didn't stick together then the group would just fall apart and this book would have never had been made.

I have to agree with Ronnye that ATD was better. It had a serious message with hilarity built-in. I think that more work and thought was put into ATD just because Sherman Alexie actually had been through things like this where as S.E has not actually expierenced what she is writing about, which lessened the power of the book. I would recommend this book to anybody who was alive during this period of time. I bet people in that time would really be able to relate to the Outsiders.

I loved The Outsiders by SE Hinton and I think it was the best book that I have read in a long time. I think I enjoyed the book because the characters were very relatable, there was intense dialogue throughout the whole book and the plot is very interesting. I think that the most important theme in the book was to not make assumptions about people. I think that this theme is very important because it is relevant throughout the whole book. Socs make assumptions about Ponyboy and the greasers in the beginning and Pony makes assumptions about Randy and the Socs. But then by the end of the book, they all (or at least Ponyboy and Randy) find the good in one another and put their assumptions behind them and become friends.

I think that The Outsiders was much better than ATD. Even though ATD did have more humor, I thought that the Outsiders had a deeper message, deeper characters and a more interesting plot. There were a lot of deaths in both of the books but I thought that the deaths in The Outsiders payed a bigger toll in the characters lives. I think I personally connect to the text because I have a tight knit group of friends like the greasers do. We will always stick together and never let each other down. I think I also enjoyed the book so much because I could see my friends in the characters. That helped me connect to the story and end up enjoying it more.

I have loved the outsiders since i first read it in the third grade. It is very real, and dark book that added a gloomy side to young adult books. I feel that the most important theme of the story is to not judge anyone base on their class but to judge them based on who they are. I know that by the saying, "Things are rough all over."

I would recommend this book to anyone and everyone. It appeals to all ages and will be around as long as their are kids trying to get out of a bad neighborhood, or someone who lives in a neighborhood where there is a bad side or good side, or people who just love excitement in a book. The character development in this book is outstanding, the young innocent Ponyboy in the beginning of the book is nothing like the, "Holding a broken pop bottle the way Tim Shepard holds a knife" Ponyboy. People have this weird idea of a greaser, that they break into song and they all look like John Travolta and this book is shows the real idea of a greaser.

I liked the book "The Outsiders" a lot. One reason is because I really enjoyed the plot of the story. Also as we got farther into the book I got very curious of how the book was going to end. Another reason why I liked the book is because each character was different and had their own personality. For example, Ponyboy was smart and loyal. Soda was carefree and happy and Darry was tough but caring. I think the most important theme was that even though society labels us we are still the same. I think this because when Randy and Ponyboy were talking, and he realized that him and Ponyboy are somewhat the same and have the same problems. Randy realized that even though he is a Soc and Ponyboy is a greaser they are both somewhat the same. This shows that even though society labeled them as Socs and Greasers they are still somewhat the same type of people.

I think the most interesting aspect of the text was the conflict because there was many different conflicts in this book. For example, Johnny killing Bob, Johnny and Dally dying, the rumble, and the differences between the Socs and Greasers. I found this book better than Absolutely True Diary because it was more realistic to me because in Absolutley True Diary Indians seem like a long time ago. Also I understood the characters more and there personalities and The Outsiders seemed more relatable than Absolutley True Diary.

The realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, by S.H. Hilton, is a very enjoyable book. I really liked it because I can relate to the topic, to side that don't really know each other, but hate each other because they live on different sides of the town. I think that the theme of the story is never judge anyone by their cover. I think this because, before Pony thought the Soc's were people that never had any problems, and had everything, and are jerks. Then when he talked to Randy after everything happened, he say that they were just guys, and they have similar problems to them too.

I think that the outsiders is a better book then the absolutley true diary because i feel that you can connect to it more. For example, in the absolutley true diary, they have a lot of drunks in the family, some kids dont have that, some have families like that but some dont. In the outsiders people usually judge people by how they look, like, if you see a girl with black eyeliner, black eye shadow, peircings, wearing all black, and other things, you would think that she is emo. This shows that you relelate more to the outsiders. Anothe example is, the outsider keeps you on the edge of you seat like you want to read a lot more. For example, we knew about the rumble in the middle of the book, that makes you want to keep reading to see what happens in the rumble. This shows that the outsiders keep you on the edge of your seat. This book is one of my favorite realistic fiction books. I have read many realistic fiction books, and this is on my top 5 favorite ones. I really enjoyed this book.

my review is in my other reviews because i already wrote a review of the outsiders

I really like the book the outsiders. I like this book because it depicts a real life situation. I also like this book because it carries and important theme throughout the book. This theme is to not judge someone by the way society labels them. I think this because of the conflict between the Greasers and the Soc's.

I did not make any personal conections to this book since I try to not judge people by their social status. I would recomend this text to someone who is in the same situation as the Soc's or the Greasers so they could now to not judge people. I like Absoloutely True Diary because to me it was more engaging. f

I have just finished reading "The Outsiders." This novel is amazing. It's a reader a lesson. The lesson of this story is that don't judge people from who they are or their appearance. Johnny is a greaser and greasers believe that fighting is always the solution to solve their problems. Socs are rich kids who also use the same technique in order to solve their problems. I like this book because there are a bunch of surprises.
I recommend this book to everybody. This book teaches a great lessons. Also you never know what is going to happen next. This book is much better than ATD because I never imagine somebody in a gang with so much problems.

As a part of the class, I have just finished the novel The Outsiders byS.E. Hinton. This novel was excellent whem it comes to the issues that us kids go through, because it was written by a 16 year old. S.E. Hinton begins with the way kids judge each other, which is a main issue that us kids go through, especially my groups, which don't have official names with out sware words in them.

Of course, I connect with this novel, because it is a coming of age story, and links with everything that happens in the life I have after school. I can imagine a life like that of Ponyboy's, because I live it. I like this novel more the ATD, because I cannot fully relate to a Native American in Washington, but I can connect to kids who have the same issues, and funny times just like I do.

Thomas and I are collaborating with our homework so we will have the same homework because we are doing it together to make it an AMAZING review!

I personally enjoyed the book very much. I thought it was brilliantly thought out. The Outsiders does something that is a real rarity these days. It expresses a type of real life scenarios that grips the reader into the story like no other novel I have read in a long time. The Outsiders is phenomenal because of it's unique type of emotional impact. It really gets to you when a character dies or when a bad thing happens because you grow so attached to these "Greasers". The most important theme of the story, we think is "don't judge a book by its cover". We think "don't judge a book by its cover" is an appropriate theme for The Outsiders because, in the big picture, the book is all about the rivarly between the greasers and the Soc's. Through out the book the Soc's are constantly making stereotypical assumptions about the greasers as well as the greasers for the Soc's.

We personally thought that The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian was better than The Outsiders because as teenager in the present day, we could relate for to The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part Time Indian. Even though we are both not Native Americans living on a reservation, it is very much realistic to present day. For The Outsiders, it takes place here but it was in a completely different time period and we think the time period really factors a lot into the story. It was easy understanding Arnold's problems, he was lonely, he was searching for hope, he was searching for himself. Those are all examples of what could be, present day problems. For The Outsiders their problems were more about fighting, gangs and KILLING people. On a personal level, we cannot relate to the characters in The Outsider's problems as well as we can realate to Arnold's problems. It's just harder to comprehend life issues that are way above our heads... Arnold's issues are plan and simply to understand the Greasers and Soc's, not so much. If we could make this book better, we would focus more on the conflict with the Greasers and the Soc's and less on the individual's. I think the Greasers and the Soc's conflicts were much more intresting then learning about a character and what they did that day. We just think the more action the better. The less boring stuff the better. And the more detailed, THE BETTER! Overal though it was a great book. Very well thought out and conducted.

I have recently finished the book "The Outsiders" by S.E Hilton. I liked many things throughout this book. One thing I liked about the book was the variety of characters. For example, Dally was the rough, courageous one, Darry was the strong smart one, Two-Bit was the funny and brave one, and Pony was the sensitive and sweet one. They all had their own personalities and traits and features that made it very funny to get to known the characters while reading the book. Another thing I like about the book was the way that the author made connections throughout the book. For example, after the scene when Pony told John the poem by Robert frost, before Johnny died he referred back to the poem saying "Stay gold Pony, stay gold." This made it easy to remember important parts in the book because it was repeated. A theme that I thought was showed throughout the book was the theme of being true to your own self. I thought this was a possible theme because of many things. For example, before Johnny died he said to Pony "Stay gold." I think that Johnny was trying to tell Piny to stay gold and stay true to himself. I think he meant that Pony should continue to be a sensitive boy who likes watching sunsets and should not participate in fights. Another example, is when Cherry came to visit the greasers after Bob died and tried to tell them that fighting was no good and they should not participate in the Socs games but to stay true to them selves and not get involved.

I think that the most interesting aspect of this book was the development of the characters and the way the plot came about. I know I already touched on the topic of the characters and how they are all different and unique and all have special qualities to themselves, I really loved seeing the way the characters treated one another and the way they acted around each other. For example, towards the end of the book it was really interesting to see Soda evolve and show a different side to himself the was more innocent and scared because he did not want his brothers fighting. I liked seeing the way Darry and Ponyboy reacted to that because it showed how much they cared for one another and the fact that they would change just for each other and take care of each other. Also, I liked the way the characters cared for Johnny because it showed the dynamic of the gang and how they all really did care about each other and was everyone to be okay and safe. I loved how the plot was filled with more surprises on every page I turned because it made for a fun, enjoyable story with a lot of lessons learned in the end.

I loved this book so much it has a great story and has action and adventure in it which i personally enjoy allot. I think that the lesson of the book was to "Stay Gold". This means to stay yourself no matter what. For example in the book Johnny told Pony to continue looking at the sunsets and that shows a part of Pony that stays the same.

I could make some connections to this book one is i loved to listen to music and much as i could as a little kid. I still do even if my friends don't like to listen to music i would not give in to them and continue to listen to my music. I would recommend this book to anybody in the world who can read. It can teach the reader a big life lesson. This book is by far better than "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian" because the lesson in the outsiders can apply to so many more people then ATD. Also the outsiders just has a better story line. I have never read other books in this sam eking of genre but i could guess that a lot of them might have a big lesson. I thought that the most interesting aspect of the text was how the quote "Stay Gold" was used several times and it was explained though out the book. I thought the most interesting character development was mostly preformed in johnny. He went from being a very shy kid, then killing a person, and last he was looking out for others and tried to teach his life lesson which was "stay gold". The most interesting setting was back at where the greasers lived i thought this was interesting because the Greasers and the Socs both had their own sides. I think that S.E hinton should write more books about the same story but from the point of view from each character. I wonder what they were thinking while the whole story was going on?

In class, I finished The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I absolutely love this book. It was beautifully written and I can relate to it. I often found myself thinking like Ponyboy and actually caring about him. I think the theme for this book is not judging a book about it's cover.. This basically means don't judge people that you don't know. I think this because threw out the whole book it first shows Ponyboy thinking that the Socs have a perfect life. He then realizes later in the book that they indeed do not. They have the same problems as the Greasers.

Threw out this book I made a few personal connections. Infact thinking about now I had the same exact feeling about rich people. I always thought that since they have money, they have a better life than I do. I thought they didn't have to deal with depression, school work or their family. When Ponyboy realized that the Socs lifes are not perfect I realized that rich people don't have a better life. Sure they have more money than me and they probably go to a better school but they too have family issues. I also realized money doesn't buy happiness. I recommend this book to my grandmother. She grew up around the time of the Socs and Greasers. She was neither one of them. She was not poor nor was she rich, she was middle class. That being said, I think she would enjoy to know how the other sides thought. That they were just like herself. The only different was the amount of money they had. That's why I would recommend this book to my grandmother.

I have currently finished the realistic fiction book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. I really enjoyed this book a lot and I learned the life lesson that this book was trying to get across. I think that the message is that you shouldn't judge a person by how they are (race, appearance, etc.) For example, the Socs were classified as the cool people with no troubles because they had lots of money. Ponyboy, a greaser, realized that you shouldn't judge someone without knowing them when Cheery says, "It's rough all over." This message is a lot like the message from ATD.

Which is better--this or Absolutely True Diary? Why?
It is hard to choose from these two books because I love them so much. ATD tells a story from a funny character, but also discusses a serious issue. The outsiders isn't really funny, but also discusses a serious issue. I would have to say that The Outsiders is a better book because it does tell more of a story that people can relate to/ reality. To whom would you recommend this text? Why?
This book is just amazing and I would recommend this book to anyone! This book has lots of messages/themes and you have to think about it just to understand what the author is trying to say.

The realistic fiction novel The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, is a book that I liked but I am not in love with. The book is written with a lot of dialogue which makes the story go fast. A fast-moving story is more fun to read. For example, when Ponyboy and Johnny are about to be attacked by the Socs, a Soc, Bob, begins to speak meanly to Ponyboy (“He, whatta ya know? Bob said a little unsteadily, “here’s the little greasers that picked up our girls. Hey greasers.”) The dialogue and the action goes really fast from there. The action goes so fast that it helps the author show his theme of two groups of kids who react emotionally to each other in a bad way. The Socs are richer than the greasers and they stay away from each other and don’t trust each other. When they have to speak with each other, they usually react emotionally bad, like when Bob and Randy attack Ponyboy and Johnny for being friendly with the Soc girls. But sometimes they react emotionally good, like when Cherry talks with Ponyboy and Johnny at the drive-in. Emotions come up quickly and S.E. Hinton tells the story with dialogue to make the story go like the emotions. I only like it and don’t love it because I do not love violent stories.

It is hard to decide which book is better, The Outsiders or Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. Both books are about a lower-income group being separate from an upper income group. In Absolutely True, Arnold can eventually have some acceptance in the upper income school, Rearden, because of his own qualities of sticking with basketball and drawing his cartoons. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy is a pretty good student but he doesn’t get accepted by the Socs anyway. I think I like The Outsiders a little bit better because the action moves faster and is more dramatic than Absolutely True.

The thing I like the best about The Outsiders is that it talks about what it feels like to be an outsider. The greasers are not accepted by other groups. If they cut their hair and didn’t put any grease in it, they probably would not be accepted by the Socs because their lives are so different from the Socs. The greasers are poor. They feel they have to hide from the law. They have less money than the Socs. There are a lot of examples of people who feel left out of the top group. We read about Ryan White and how he was teased and humiliated by people in his school because he had AIDS. With Arnold in Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, he feels left out of main society because he is an Indian. These are things that these kids cannot control. Everybody feels like an outsider sometimes. It would be better if people were liked because of the kind of people they are and not because of things that they cannot control.

In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, there was one thing that I didn't realy realize the first times I read the book but now I got. The thing that I didn't realize was how much of a connection the quote that Johnny said, "stay Gold" to Pony and the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay. I didn't really understand what stay gold meant until I saw that Pony got tough and realized just like the poem that Nothing Gold Can Stay and I realized that they do have a lot in common. I really liked this book and would definetly re read it and understand something I didn't at first.

I really liked the book The Outsiders.I recommend it to anyone fells that because their less fortunate that they have to act like hoods.I'm not really sure what to think about the ending of the book because you write a whole book in one night not to mention it was a late night.

I really enjoyed the book The Outsiders. I think that a really important theme in this book is to not judge someone by their image or social class because it could end up hurting someone.

If I could relate to this book it would be how I see people getting bullied based on their social status or on their clothing. I feel that this is something that should change and that i should stick up for people who are being inflicted by this. I would recommend this book to people who live in upper class neighborhoods or "rich people" because than they would see how people in other environments live and how the y compensate with other people. I think that this is a good way for people to see how poorer people live.
