- The outsiders

In what ways do the outsiders in this story represent many kinds of outsiders?

In the book, the Outsiders, there is a group of seven boys that are called the Greasers. The other characters in the book recognize these members by their physical appearances, and consider them all as delinquents. Even some of the nicest characters, Johnny and Ponyboy, are all stereotyped to fit one mold of a false personality.

Explanation:

Ponyboy- Ponyboy was born into being a Greaser. Oftentimes, he dislikes being recognized as a "Greaser." Unlike what others believe, he enjoys poems and art. Additionally, he dislikes fighting, which is another defining "Greaser" trait.

Johnny- What makes Johnny an "outsider" is the fact that he's heavily afraid and traumatized because he was attacked by the Socs. Similarly they are both kind and dislike fighting.

Sodapop- Sodapop is kind, but he treats her nicely and refuses to act irresponsibly with her, as a "Greaser" typically would. He somewhat dislikes fighting, but he does it to ensure the safety of his family.

Steve- Steve is similar to what would be a typical "Greaser." Even if he may not be the nicest person, he cares for his best friend Steve. He also has an affinity for cars.

Dally- Dally is the streotypical greaser. What makes him an Outsider is his care for Johnny. He especially cares about keeping him in harm's way.

Two-Bit- Two-Bit has a weapon, but he never uses this weapon in the entirety of the book. He is a charismatic and funny person, especially between his friends. He uses these traits to cheer up his friends, especially when he recognizes that they are feeling down, or "out of it." He was the one to find the positive in every situation

Darry- Darry is perhaps the closest to the Socs as the other Greasers. He is hard working and dislikes the prospect of troublemaking. Clearly, Darry cares for his family. This was especially evident throughout the book, when Ponyboy involved in the main conflict.
