After watching the S.E.Hinton interview, compare a scene from the movie to something that you have experienced or find an anecdote concerning the movie or the movie stars which has not been mentioned in the Youtube video.
One of the scenes that I think I could relate to was the aftermath of the rumble scene. After the rumble, the group headed back to the house to rest after a huge fight. I relate to this by going through something long and tiring. We all usually have something that takes forever to get through, and you feel exhausted. Sure I didn’t get in a fight, but I can feel tired after a long soccer game where I usually never get out of the game. Plus, when you are on that field, minutes can seem like hundreds of hours.
Something that I relate to from The Outsiders is not a scene but it is how the greasers and or socs are like family. I relate to this because I have great friends that always make me laugh and are fun to be around. The greasers and or socs would do anything for each other. For example, when Johnny was struggling to get out of the burning church his friends didn't just leave him there. They risked their lives for their friend. And they were very brave for doing that. So that is something that I can relate to from The Outsiders. Avery Rohrbaugh 6-7 period
Something that I noticed from "The Outsiders" is actually in all sections of the book. This "thing" actually drives many key aspects of the book. What I'm talking about, of course, is the noticeable seperation between people. It isn't about wealth, where you live, etc., but it's still more about how you respond to feelings and actions. I think that it's quite frankly sad that it's considered abnormal to Ben friends with somebody outside of your own little clique. What's even worse, is that people are missing out on great friendships with great people, all because they are pressured into staying within the boundaries of their small group of friends. I'll leave you with one last thought. S.E. Henton wrote "The Outsiders" many years ago, and we still haven't progressed socially to break this depressing habit. What does that say about the human race as a whole? Are we doomed to stay like this forever, or will we become kind enough to finally break free from the hold this social norm has with us? Aidan Green 6th/7th
One thing that I relate to in The Outsiders is friendship. I have great friends that have my back and make me laugh every day. Clearly, the Greasers had each others back. An example is when Dallas robbed the store. Darry said as they were running out the door that they need to hide him. Darry was attempting to keep Dallas from going to jail. Also, when Johnny died, the whole gang was devastated. I would do just about anything for my friends as they would me, just like the gang would do to each other. You need friends to help you overcome obstacles in life. Like if you lose a big game in a sport, then you would be pretty sad. So, you need friends to pick you up. The message that S.E Hinton is trying to express is friendship, and how both Greasers and Socs stuck together no matter what.
One of the scenes that I had related to was when they went to the hospital to see Johnny after the Rumble. When Johnny had died. I remember a few years ago when I had to baby sit one of my friend's little brothers because her dad was in the hospital. Im not going to mention her name, although you probably don't know her. Her dad was terribly injured and was on the risk of death. When she returned to the house where I was baby sitting, she told me that her dad had passed away, and the last few words he told her was "Stay young". This relates because Johnny had told Ponyboy to stay gold which also meant to stay young. Her dad was also talking about how he knew it was his time to go, and that there was good in the world. "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton was a great book and related to a lot of struggles people go through. -Ariana Asbury, 6-7th period.
During the time we read The Outsiders, i noticed that Pony's gang always had each other's backs and relied on one another. One example of this is that Johnny's parents would degrade him and make him feel bad about him self. But the gang would always cheer him up and make him feel better. Another example is when Dally robbed the store and called the gang seeking shelter. The gang immediately ran to his side. I can compare these instances to my personal experiences with my friends. If i ever feel sad, i can always rely on my friends. They can always make me feel better and i'm very thankful for them. Emilio Maset 6/7
I can relate to Johnny from being in the hospital. While saving kids from the burning church, he broke his back and was sent to the hospital. When I was four years old I had an pneumonia for a few weeks. I went to the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh; there I got a chest tube to help my breathing. While I was there it hurt to get up to do anything because I was sore, except when I got to go to the playroom. I spent most of my time laying in my bed watching movies all day. Occasionally I would play games on a laptop that were about Hot Wheels cars. After a one week stay in the hospital, I got to go home. Unfortunately, the same didn't happen for Johnny as he died in the movie.
I have noticed that there is a scene of The Outsiders that I can relate to very well. That scene was when Pony felt sick at the sight of the lifeless body of Bob. Last Wednesday at my football game, a player for the other team was tackled very hard. As he rolled to his back, I noticed something wasn't quite right. The players foot was dangling in a very awkward position. At that moment a chill shocked my body because I had inferred that his foot was severely broken. The sight left me uneasy with a tight knot in my stomach. The player was carried off of the field on a stretcher. Although the player was not dead, I still felt the same sickness that Pony felt at the sight of Bob. I hope to never feel that type of sickness again.
A message that SE Hinton was stating how there are so many kids and teens, like myself, who, in this generation expose themselves with small social groups or gangs, as was the case with the Socs and Greasers. I can relate to the outsiders very well. An example of this is if a friend goes through hard times, or just needs someone to talk to for advice, i'm always there for them, as the greasers had each others backs throughout the book and the movie. Another way I can relate to the outsiders is when Johnny died. When he did, the gang was devistated, as I was when my closest grandfather past away when I was 10 years old. The gang was like family to him, and the gang all stuck together even though Johnny's death was a hard loss to overcome, especially for Dally, as the book stated that Johnny was the only thing Dally ever loved. So in conclusion, the outsiders can relate to anyone in many different ways, no matter the person. Hope Robinson 4/5th period
I have realized that there is a scene form The Outsiders that I can definitely relate to. It was the scene when Johnny was badly burned and was in the hospital for his injuries. Johnny had been trying to save the kids in the burning church from dying. He risked his life for the kids and their lives. This relates to something tragic that my mom has told me stories about. When my mom was six years old when she had an accident with a fire and got third degree burns. She was rushed to the hospital and had to be taken care of. It was so bad her legs had to be grafted so she wouldn't get skin cancer. She told me that it was a painful moment and I can relate her stories to Johnny and his burn. However my mom survived her burn. Aaron Kovack 4-5 period
A scene in The Outsiders that compares to something I've experienced in life is friendship. In the movie before the rumble, Ponyboy and most of his gang were playing around and having a good time. This scene showed that they would have each other's backs and that they liked being with each other. Whether it would be an exciting time or a rough time, they would always be together. Experiences in life are similar. When someone is going through a hard time, they know that their friends will be there for them. When someone is going through a great time, they know that their friends will be there to enjoy it with them. Ella Broadhurst 6/7 Period
Something that I can to relate to is the friendship and feelings the Greasers shared. The Greasers helped each other no matter what happened. For example, when Johnny killed Bob, Ponyboy and Dally didn't abandon him. They both did whatever they could to help Johnny. The Greasers fought their battles as one just like a football team or any other team would. The Greasers were like a family. My family and friends won't abandon me. My family will do whatever it takes to help me solve a problem. This something I can relate to.
A part of the outsiders I can relate to is the greasers and the socs. I can relate to the greasers and the socs cliques just by watching individuals in everyday life. For example, there are groups of kids at school who form cliques and look after each other. These cliques take up for one another, and are defensive when it comes to their friends. In the movie, the greasers are always blamed for crimes and looked down upon. When kids form cliques they typically form options based on other groups of friends. Sometimes the groups are looked down upon because of the way they dress, act, or speak. In relation to the movie, each kid should realize that no matter what clique they are in each person probably has some type of battle they are dealing with inside. We should stand up for our friends, but also look out for others as well. 1/2nd period
When I was in second and third grade I got bullied in school by a group of girls. I felt alienated that no one liked me. I had a hard time trusting people and still do to this day. I’m not always sure who is my friend and who isn’t. For that reason, I tend to find myself more alone then surrounded by people. I wanted to move to Buffalo with my family but I wasn't able to. I can relate to the movie because the Socs bullied the Greasers and they felt alienated. They also wanted to move but they weren't able to.
A way that the movie relates to me is the way the greasers were like family. They always had each others back and stood up for each other. My friends are like that. I know that I can trust them and will do what ever they can when I need something. We are always at each others houses like the greasers were. When Johnny was in the hospital, his friends were right there beside him. They visited everyday they could. They would risk there lives for each other and I feel that my friends would too. My friends are like family!
Braydon Wells 4/5th Something that I relate to from the Outsiders would be. How the greasers and the socs were such great friends. I am lucky to have all the friends I have. I also relate to how good of friends pony and Johnny are. If I was in that situation my friends would be there for me. I don't think I'd ever get in that situation, but if I did I know they would be there. I also relate how they do activities by hanging out with each other. Because me and my friends all hang out, and act like family.
In S.E. Hinton The Outsiders the messages Hinton was trying to get across was very noticeable. I can relate to PonyBoy’s gang’s feelings about how Johnny is hurt and in the hospital. I can relate to this because I have an aunt that has cancer and can’t walk so I now know how the gang felt about losing Johnny. I am afraid of losing my aunt and so is the rest of my family. It is so hard trying to not think about her condition when, you have already just remembered how bad and serious cancer really is. This relates by how Pony’s gang had worried about losing Johnny and my family worries about my aunt.
How the greasers have a family and there not really a gang but a family that is compassionate and looks out for one another. Also the socs have a family you can tell because of one reason when bob dies randy is dis trout and its not just one gang of socs who beat up greasers and jump them to. instead they are a family of brothers who look out for one another. i can relate to this because of how i have a loving caring family sometimes we argue just like in the movie/book how ponyboy fights with his older brother but they still love each-other. Family never breaks apart threw rough times and in the movie even when johnny killed someone they were all there to have his back and help him threw this tough time. Isaak Guentert 4th-5th
The loyalty conveyed among both the Socs and the Greasers was very strong. It's resilience reminded me of how today's teens interact with their perspective peers. Looking back now, I have witnessed the division of groups since elementary school. Then, even small children often opted not to engage much with anyone other than who was in their group, wether it be in the classroom or on the playground. Loyalty was demonstrated throughout "The Outsiders." One would stand up for the other even in extreme circumstances. For example, the scene at the fountain when Ponyboy is shoved face first into the fountain by a Soc. He nearly drowns and awakens on the pavement only to find Johnny covered in blood. Johnny's loyalty was extreme in that he desperately stabbed his friends attacker in defense. In turn, this led to their getaway, together. I feel that people tend to relate to those that are similar to themselves. Once a common ground is established, wether it be background or other likes or interests, a strong bond is formed. We feel more attached to those type of people that we feel are "like us." It is an instinct to stand up for those we care about, such as my long time friends would do for me and I for them.
S.E Hition wrote the book "The Outsiders", in this book she wrote about many different things that relate to real live. Some of them even relate to some of my experiences in the real world. One example is whenever my football team was playing a game, a player on the other team didn't have very good sportsmanship. He was getting all in our quarter backs face so we ran over to them and broke it up. This relates to the book because in this situation our team had each others back and we considered the team family, just like the gang in "The Outsiders." Another way it related to my life is where some of the book happened. One location in the book was at a drive in movie and it was at night time. I have good memories at them and have I've always liked going to a Drive In. In the book the gang would always go the drive in together just like me and my friends do.
In the book "The Outsiders", S.E. Hinton used many different things in the book that mainly anyone can relate too. What I can probably relate to the most in the book is when Randy tells Ponyboy that he won't participate in the rumble because he is done with all the fighting. How I relate to this is because when I see fighting or hear about fighting that happens around the world, I get frustrated because I don't think fighting should happen at all and I want it to stop. In conclusion, S.E. Hinton used many different shills when writing the book, but one thing that you can tell very cleary is that you can relate to many things that happen.
S.E. Hinton wrote the amazing book The Outsiders. The story had many great scenes in it but on scene I can really relate to was the rumble. I can relate this to a football game because when some one messes with a teammate it is an automatic instinct to stand up for them. Like the greasers who always had each other's backs when fighting the socs. Given any circumstance great friends and relationships will win over wealth or size. Which this is probably the leading cause of why our football team is so dominant. So all in all I have great friends on and off the football field.
One thing I can relate to in the book "The Outsiders" Is friendship. No matter what happened they always had each other's back. My friends do the same for me. Sometimes they didn't get along but they still were like family. That's how I am with my friends. They would do anything for eachother even if it was a risk. I would do the same for my friends. Over all they relied on eachother and trusted one another,through the good and bad. I would be the same way with the people I care about. They were like family to eachother. Elaina Whiteman 1/2 period
Something in The Outsiders i can relate to is the way Pony wants everyone to realize that the Socs and Greasers are not all that different after all. One instant he does this, is after his talk with Randy. Although i cannot directly link this to my life, I can relate it to the book I'm reading. In the book I'm reading the students start a movement that was to show that all the students had the same potential. Not everyone believes in this movement kind of how some characters in The Outsiders just told Ponyboy that Socs would always be Socs and Greasers would always be Greasers. Both books show how our world we live in could be equal but the also show how both plans fail and become accepted as failures.
As I read "The Outsiders," I noticed that Pony's gang always had each other's backs. An example of this is when Dally robbed the store and called the gang. Immediately, the gang was there to help. Another example of this is when Johnny's parents would make him feel bad about himself. The gang would always make him feel better. I can compare these instances to my life with my friends. My friends are always there for me when I need them. I can always count on my friends to be there when I need them. I am extremely thankful to have such great friends.
The part of "The Outsiders" that I relate to is how Ponyboy feels different or left out, but then finds where he is supposed to be. I relate to this part of the story because in sixth grade I was new to this school and only knew a few people. I was the new kid; it was like kindergarten all over again. Just like Ponyboy, I didn’t have a lot of friends, and I was surrounded by people I didn’t know. By the end of the school year, I found people that I was similar to and could talk to. This relates to Ponyboy because by the end of the movie and book, Ponyboy realized who his real family and friends were. Ponyboy also changed how he felt by venting his feeling through writing his stories at the end of the book and movie. Just like Ponyboy I found my friends by looking for the good in people and by "Staying gold".
One scene I can relate to in The Outsiders is the scene where Dally helps Pony and Johnny. He gave them a gun and money even though he could get in trouble for it, from either the police or with Darry. The other members of the gang would have also stuck up for them. I can relate to that because my friends would do the same for me. If I were in a situation like that, I'm sure at least one of my friends would have been crazy enough to do what Dally did. True friends should always be there and help each other no matter what. Ponyboy and Johnny also trusted that Dally would know what to do. Strong friendships require trust and faith in each other. I am lucky to have friends that I know I can trust. Abby Tillema 4/5 period
I can relate to the outsiders . The outsiders reminded me of how good of friends and family I have. Family and friends meant a lot in the outsiders and would always be there for one another. They would always be there for them when they needed them in the most just like Johnny and pony boy had. I can't believe I have such good friends to be there for me every day. Me and my friends love to hang out and they're like family to me. The outsiders reminded me of how good of friends and family could be to one another. They would always be there me even if I wasn't always there for them. Kierstyn Ensminger 4-5th
I relate to the scene that Johnnh and Dally died because I've had loved ones pass away suddenly and I didn't know because I was only just a little girl. Then there is when they can't take their deaths as reality. I thought I was dreaming, then woke up realize it was real and my imagination run wild. Also, I relate to where they are basically family. I treat my friends like they are my closes relatives. I believe that everyone should be treated fairly as either friends or family. Even if they treat me badly, I still treat them like a human being. I try to keep my close friends closer so that I don't lose them or anything else.
I can relate to feeling stressed about having school problems. Pony said that he only had the group and no other freinds. I usually don't talk in my "group" and Pony didn't either. He tried to stay out of drama and I do too. I also relate to when Dallas lost Johnny, because he never realized how important Johnny really was. Before I lost my grandpa Ihadn't realized how important he was. I loved the lesson that The Outsiders taught me. I hope to learn more in the 8th grade.
After reading the book, I've realized that most people can relate to the themes of alienation and isolation. I'm pretty sure almost every human on this planet has felt alone at some point in their life, whether it be due to things such as exclusion from a friend group, an existential crisis, loss of a family member, bullying, or even something as severe as depression. I know that there are times when I've felt stressed or depressed, especially after my grandmother passed away two years ago, and I've felt as if no one understood what I was going through. I'd felt alone and unable to talk to people about this. These feelings of isolation are especially common during the teenage years, so that makes the book much more relatable to my age group and able to stand the test of time since, sadly, there will always be people who feel this way. I feel like the way the book portrays this isolation makes us realize that we're not as alone in our emotions as we think; we're not alone in feeling alone.
From watching The Outsiders I've realised how much society has changed and to be more specific friendships. People today don't really care that much about their friends unless their really close. In school people use the term "fake" to describe people who are two-faced. They often talk about their "friends" behind their back. In the movie during the rumble the greasers helped each other even though they weren't all from the same place. This shows that no matter were they were from they would stick up for each other. In today's world people don't care. They could drop a friend like trash, but In the book and movie they stuck together and didn't give up on each other. In conclusion, today we are less caring than trusting.
In The Outsiders, the group of friends stuck together no matter what happend. I can relate to that because I have friends that we stick together through good or bad times. They protected eachother and stood up for eachother anywhere, anytime. For example, when Dally robbed the gas station the boys ran to meet him so that they could help him wtithe whatever he needed. That to me is true friendship. Even though it meant they could go to jail too for helping Dally, they saw him as family and they would do anything to help him because family always sticks together.
In the world today kids split themselves interested their own "groups". All kids have their special group of friends or buds they hang out with,which is kind of how the greasers and socs were. Today many kids get left out or feel like they don't exist because everyone has their own special friends. I believe thAts how many problems are started. In my opinon everyone should stick together and be friends with everyone.
A scene I can relate to is when everyone is relieved and elated to have Ponyboy return home. During winter of 2014 I took a trip to India. It was a month long trip with little communication with the United States due to wireless connection problems. After being away for a month I returned to friends who missed me and were excited to have me home. In the scene Pony is met by his close friends who are like family to him. An overall comparison to myself and the movie could be my group of friends. We are a close knit group who act as a family. We are loyal to one another and care about each other. The greasers are too like this. They are each other's family and would never abandon each other. The socs could also relate to this concept even though we are not giving a close look into their inside lives. Sydney King 4/5
S.E.hinton was the writer of the outsiders.The outsiders was an amazing book.The battle between the greasers and the socs. During the story the two gangs fight each other.But soon in the story there was a rumble between the two groups.At the end of the rumble the greasers win it.The gangs stayed together and helped out each other.I can relate because in football some football games there can be a fight.In the fight you have to help your teammates and get them out of the fight.
I relate to the part where the greasers and the socs are like family. I relate because I feel my group of friends are my family and I can trust them. For example the socs and greasers told each other everything and alwaysed helped each other out. They were always friends and stuck together. People are now feeling left out because there are people who only want to hang out with the people they know. No one wants to make new friends or get to know people. Friends stick together and always help each other out in any situation. For example when Dally decided to rob the gas station all his friends ran to help because that is what true friends do. Always be loyal and kind to one another just like the Socs and Greasers did in their groups. Serenity Austin 6/7p.
One thing I relate to in The Outsiders is how, within all the cliques, everyone cares for everyone. Within my clique and others, such as in the movie with the Socs and Greasers, everyone cares for one another. Everyone within a group sticks together through thick and thin. They try to keep everyone feeling positive. One group may ignore or harass all or some of the other groups, but, as their own little group, be extremely tight-knit. In both the movie The Outsiders and in real life, social classes and cliques tend to stay incredibly close within themselves and rarely branch out to others.

S.E. Hinton's novel the outsiders has been passed down generations, and has been somewhat relatable to every teen in that time frame. A relatable part of the story is the times where the guys are just out about town, being together as a group, because, as teens, we all have close groups of friends who we choose to spend time with in these first years that we are given some freedom. How close the characters are in the novel inspires us to want to have that good of a relationship with our current friends and the ones we'll have in the future.
A scene I can relate to would be when Pony visited Johnny in the hospital before he died. When my brother had salmonella in fourth grade, I thought something horrible was going to happen. I would go to visit him everyday that I could. Also at that same time I had just broken my arm. So this was very similar to when Pony was hurt and saw Johnny. Luckily my brother didn't die, and was only in the hospital for a few days. Many of my family members have been in the hospital, but this was different because he is my brother. It would be weird to not have him as a sibling. Chloe Johnson 6/7 th period
One idea that relates to life I see all around is the gangs and people like greasers and socs but different looking. There are problems around the world involved wiyh gangs and ect. One big thing in the book that is close to me is still here today is the wealth people may have. Some of the kids in our school might not have the money like all the other kids which leaves us thinking they are weird or dress funny. This just isn't fare in our world but people do it anyway. I try my best to give kids a help up if they need one or if they are just feeling down.
There was a couple things the same in the movie to me. A scene that relates to me is hoe the socs and the greasers fight. Its like when i'm at school and there is all this drama. Also they show it alot in the movie. This is how it relates to me. Another thing is that when I almost got in a fight. Thats what happend alot in the movie. They almost got into fights. Another Thing is that you se other kids with little money. I feel bad when i see this. The outsiders had very little money.
For starting off this book is such a good book,with all the excitment it brings you.During the movie the outsiders I think there were a few parts that I have experienced before. For one example the scene were darry yelled at ponyboy. That has happened to me with my brothers. They were screaming and yelling at me. Another scene is when they tried to save the kids out of the church. Now I havent really done that but I have saved someone from getting hit by something.That is how im similar to some of the scenes in that book.
One thing I can relate to in the movie are the themes of friendship and loyalty. Like the greasers my friends are always there for me. Whether we are just hanging out together or at the mall shopping together they can always make me laugh. My friends would do almost anything for me much like the greasers or socs would do for there friends. For example when Johnny killed Bob, him and Pony went to Dally because they new he would get them to a place to lay low. Dally does this for Ponyboy and Johnny even thought there is the great risk of getting in trouble with the law himself. Dally risked getting caught because he cared so much for his friends. That is how I can relate to the movie,The Outsiders.
Something I can relate to from the book is that Hinton saw the groups at her school and did not like it. Often times at our school we separate ourselves in groups and leave people out. Ponyboy didn't agree with the groups on the book but he knew that's just how is was going to be. Later on he realized that the Socs and the Greasers were just people they were the same and they saw the same things such as the sunset on different sides of town. Another thing i can realate to for the book is how close the Greasers were they were like family. My friends are considered family to me just like the boys did. They were very loyal to eachother and always had each other's backs. They would never let anything bad happen to another if they could help it. I would do anything for my friends or family and always try to help. I believe that is how I compare my life to The Outsiders.
I can relate to many different things and subjects in this book but the one that stood out was how the greasers stuck together no matter what. They were always there for eachother and never left one of them behind because that were more family than anything else. I can relate to this because all my friends and family are always there for me and they always have my back and watch out for me. There is not a day that goes by that they don't help me out. Also that's the same thing with the greasers. When Johnny stabbed Bob, pony didn't run off after he found out. He helped him get help from dally and they left together. Throughout that whole thing Pony didn't leave his side. All in all, I relate to the outsiders in many ways.
Jamie Greene said... I can relate 100% to the greasers. They stay together no matter what like a pack of wolves. I never leave my friends in the dust. If they are always there for me, I am there for them. It's kind of like you give and receive constantly. When I was in the hospital with pneumonia when I was younger, lots of friends came to see me, as they did to Johnny. I have also gone to the hospital to visit friends in need. I think that S.E.Hinton would agree when I say this. Once you find true friends, they become family.
I can relate to where they were all helping each other. When I play soccer we all work together no matter how much we win or lose. I can also relate to the fight when they tried as hard as they were able to to win. They also did not give up even if people were beating them bad. On my soccer team we don't give up even if we are losing the game. I Can also relate to where they fought even though they were outnumbered. On my team we played many games with one less person than usual. that is how I can relate to the scenes in The Outsiders.
By reading The Outsiders I’ve learned how close the Greasers are. They are great friends that treat each other like family. I can relate to this because I have friends who are like family to me. My friends are always there for me whenever I need them and they always have my back no matter what. My friends and I are there for each other no matter what condition we are in. An example is when Ponyboy was getting beat up by Socs, Johnny hopped in and scared away them to save his friend. I can really relate to this because no matter what situation my friends are in I’m always going to back them up. Emily pitman 6/7
A scene that i can relate to numerous things in this book. One would would be how the greasers stuck together like a pack of wolves. I would never leave my friends out there ,if they were there for me.And that there is not a day that dosent go buy that they wont help me.Also the same thing with the Greasers. When Johnny stabbed Bob Pony didnt run off he found out. He got help by dally and left together. All in all i can relate to the Outsiders to my daily life.
Reading the book and watching the movie "The Outsiders" I learned some things about the book that relate to real life. When Socs and Greasers were fighting it reminds me of when me and my brothers fight sometimes. Another relation is that when Greasers fight they have each others back and when I am annoyed by something I know that my friends have my back. So the book "The outsiders" is a great book to read because it teaches you loyalty and friendship. The book relates to a lot of really life events and probably my favorite book we have read yet!
One scene in the movie i can relate to is when one of the Socs brought Pony over to his car and had a private chat. Even though they knew they were supposed to hate each other just because of the differences between the two groups, they still were able to have a conversation. Just because hang out with a different set of people doesnt mean you dont have to like the other. I think this was the message S.E Hinton was trying to send. She was in highschool at the time and knew what she was talking about. She was trying to say that when your friends with everyone there will not be as much problems. Like when Johny died. If he wouldve never had to stab the Soc, he wouldve never had to run away to the church. He wouldve never had to run into the burning church. This just shows how much better it is to stay friends with everyone, even if your group doesnt like them.
I can relate to the fight with the Socs and Greasers, when my sister and I would fight. She was older and played sports, so she was all muscle. My skinny little butt would get kicked every time. But when I needing someone to stick up for me, she was there for me. Tyler Hinkle
One of the scenes I would relate to would be when they saved the kids who were in the burning church. Friends are very important to me and I would do anything in my power to help my friends when they are in trouble. S. E. Henson was talking about the bond that friends have that can't be broken. They showed great bravery because they were thinking about their friends and not about themselves. My friends mean the world to me. The same way friends in the movie had each other's back, I would do the same for my friends.
One scene that I can relate to is the part where Ponyboy and Dally are trying to scare some kids while the kids are playing with some cards. This reminds me of when I had to go to a babysitters in Williamsburg, Virginia during the weekdays. The older brother would try and scare us but it usually never really worked all that well, unlike the kids in the movie, we didn't get threatened he just acted all cool. With his band posters all over his walls. Well what do you expect from a teenager anyway.
One scene in the movie i relate to is the way all the greasers/socs had each others backs. I would never betray or take advantige of my friends because i know they all have my back also. Most of us are strong willed and to stubborn to the piont where it is unlikely to happen anyway. I hope it stays this way forever.
I think multiple scenes in the Outsiders were relate able to everyone to some degree. However, If you could not relate to anything in the movie you could learn from the movie and use that in real life. In Addition, one scene that I could relate to was the Rumble scene between Darry and one of his old friends. For a brief second everyone stopped. Why? I think that at that moment those two had a moment of brief second of clarity. I think They were wondering why are we fighting. Why are you a Socs and I'm a Greaser. I felt like they didn't want to fight for that brief second. The relation to this scene is that one time in elementary school I had to face my best friend for the first time. I was excited nervous worried a mixture of emotions but, then before tip off right when the ball was in the air we looked at each other. It was a brief moment but it felt like an eternity. Do I want to play? Why are we doing this? Then the game was on and all thought from that point on went away because I was not going to lose. I think the thing Darry knew just liked I knew he did not want to do it but, he already made the decision to do it. This was the reason the Outsiders was so great for me was because you could put yourself in these characters shoes.
The scene in the movie that I can compare to is when Ponyboy falls asleep in the parking lot. After he had fallen asleep at the lot he went home and it was after his curfew. I can relate to that because when I go to my friend's house I sometimes miss curfew too . When I am there we usually we lose track of time because we are having so much fun. So we lose track and miss curfew. Just like Ponyboy I get in trouble, just not the same punishment as he got
I can relate to "The Outsiders" because of the groups at school. Like how all the Socs thought they were better than the Greaser because they were jocks, and did sports, and were popular then the Greasers. That's how it is at our school the football players, and basketball players, and cheerleaders think their better than the people that don't play a sport, but their really not. We are al the same, and it was the same with the Socs, and Greasers they were all the same, but just because the Socs had worn Madras, and leather jackets they thought they were better than the Greasers, but really they weren't because they thought they were to cool to let the Socs hang out with them because they were from a different part of the town. No matter what just because you were born on the other side of town doesn't make you the best it makes you the same as the rest of the people around the town even if you are split up into two different social groups you all the same people just dressed differently.
In the outsiders, they all really good friends. They all have a special relationship with one another and I can relate that with my friends. PonyBoy and Jhonny are very close. They laugh often and tell each other their secrets. It relates to me and my bestfriend. Were a lot like Jhonny and Poneyboy Curtis and thats how I can relate to the movie-book.
Here ten facts about Auschwitz , they killed more people than Jews, this camp was the most high count, they killed babies and women, they had two different lines, they had acid showers, one line for work/slaves, they burned the bodies of the dead, or made a family member bury the body, they they had electric fences, and they starved the inmates. Those are my facts about Auschwitz.

One thing that I relate to in The Outsiders is friendship. I have great friends that have my back and make me laugh every day. Clearly, the Greasers had each others back. An example is when Dallas robbed the store. Darry said as they were running out the door that they need to hide him. Darry was attempting to keep Dallas from going to jail. Also, when Johnny died, the whole gang was devastated. I would do just about anything for my friends as they would me, just like the gang would do to each other. You need friends to help you overcome obstacles in life. Like if you lose a big game in a sport, then you would be pretty sad. So, you need friends to pick you up. The message that S.E Hinton is trying to express is friendship, and how both Greasers and Socs stuck together no matter what.
In the book The Outsiders one scene in the movie that I have experienced. The scene i go back to is the movie drive in scene. When i was younger i went to a drive in with my cousins and uncle. We are family just like the outsiders gang we would do anything and everything for each other. Us as a family we go through things together. And another way i relate are my friends we do everything together. We have each others back through war and back.

A main message S. E. Hinton was attempting to convey to the viewers was her thoughts of adolescents and their social groups. Although her stance isn't entirely clear in the film or novel, the main idea I interpreted is that there is much stupidity to teenagers not interacting with anyone other than who's in their group or gang. This is shown through the rivalry of the Socs and the Greasers, and Ponyboy, a Greaser, somewhat breaks this barrier by making friends with Cherry Valance and her friend, both Socs. Tons of group stereotypes have been portrayed and analyzed by the media by both sides of the political spectrum. A common consensus is that their is a social hierarchy of popularity that has many different variants of groups intertwined in that hierarchy. I recently asked a few adults of their experience in middle and secondary school and found that three generations have mainly dealt with this situation. These generations include S. E. Hinton's generation, Baby boomers, Generation X, and the Millennial Generation. So, after The Outsiders, this problem still seemed to occur. Many films, mostly teen comedies, have mocked this to a degree with the well-received by critics and audiences alike Clueless (1995) and Mean Girls (2004). I find that my generation, Generation Z, has actually suffered much less to this cliché than any other. And the main reason for that is: the internet. Yes, the worldwide web has pulled society apart in many instances, like Twitter's 140 character cap making it harder for people to have an intellectual discussion, but it has pulled us together in ways never before. With social media like Facebook and Instagram, I have been able to connect with friends that I would have never before. Since 5th Grade, the time I have been at West Fairmont Middle School, I've seen social groups at a rapid decline as more and more people have access to smartphones and the internet. I have a cousin that comes from a military family and is the same grade level as me. He has lived in Japan, California and is currently residing in North Carolina. He told me that he is close friends with a variety of people, which would be a lot more uncommon decades ago. Even films in recent years have failed to mention this as a valid dilemma anymore, and their new target is unsurprisingly the internet. Examples of these would include the poorly received Cyberbully (2011) and Unfriended (2014). Some may argue from my claim that this would make The Outsiders no longer relevant, but I disagree completely. As it is a couple steps away from an autobiography, her book flawlessly captures conflicts and a period of time that she lived through. This, instead of making the novel dated, will make it forever timeless.

One of the scenes that I think I could relate to was the aftermath of the rumble scene. After the rumble, the group headed back to the house to rest after a huge fight. I relate to this by going through something long and tiring. We all usually have something that takes forever to get through, and you feel exhausted. Sure I didn’t get in a fight, but I can feel tired after a long soccer game where I usually never get out of the game. Plus, when you are on that field, minutes can seem like hundreds of hours.
Something that I relate to from The Outsiders is not a scene but it is how the greasers and or socs are like family. I relate to this because I have great friends that always make me laugh and are fun to be around. The greasers and or socs would do anything for each other. For example, when Johnny was struggling to get out of the burning church his friends didn't just leave him there. They risked their lives for their friend. And they were very brave for doing that. So that is something that I can relate to from The Outsiders.

Something that I noticed from "The Outsiders" is actually in all sections of the book. This "thing" actually drives many key aspects of the book. What I'm talking about, of course, is the noticeable seperation between people. It isn't about wealth, where you live, etc., but it's still more about how you respond to feelings and actions. I think that it's quite frankly sad that it's considered abnormal to Ben friends with somebody outside of your own little clique. What's even worse, is that people are missing out on great friendships with great people, all because they are pressured into staying within the boundaries of their small group of friends. I'll leave you with one last thought. S.E. Henton wrote "The Outsiders" many years ago, and we still haven't progressed socially to break this depressing habit. What does that say about the human race as a whole? Are we doomed to stay like this forever, or will we become kind enough to finally break free from the hold this social norm has with us?

One of the scenes that I had related to was when they went to the hospital to see Johnny after the Rumble. When Johnny had died. I remember a few years ago when I had to baby sit one of my friend's little brothers because her dad was in the hospital. Im not going to mention her name, although you probably don't know her. Her dad was terribly injured and was on the risk of death. When she returned to the house where I was baby sitting, she told me that her dad had passed away, and the last few words he told her was "Stay young". This relates because Johnny had told Ponyboy to stay gold which also meant to stay young. Her dad was also talking about how he knew it was his time to go, and that there was good in the world. "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton was a great book and related to a lot of struggles people go through.
-Ariana Asbury, 6-7th period.
During the time we read The Outsiders, i noticed that Pony's gang always had each other's backs and relied on one another. One example of this is that Johnny's parents would degrade him and make him feel bad about him self. But the gang would always cheer him up and make him feel better. Another example is when Dally robbed the store and called the gang seeking shelter. The gang immediately ran to his side. I can compare these instances to my personal experiences with my friends. If i ever feel sad, i can always rely on my friends. They can always make me feel better and i'm very thankful for them.

I can relate to Johnny from being in the hospital. While saving kids from the burning church, he broke his back and was sent to the hospital. When I was four years old I had an pneumonia for a few weeks. I went to the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh; there I got a chest tube to help my breathing. While I was there it hurt to get up to do anything because I was sore, except when I got to go to the playroom. I spent most of my time laying in my bed watching movies all day. Occasionally I would play games on a laptop that were about Hot Wheels cars. After a one week stay in the hospital, I got to go home. Unfortunately, the same didn't happen for Johnny as he died in the movie.
Logan Zuchelli 1/2
I have noticed that there is a scene of The Outsiders that I can relate to very well. That scene was when Pony felt sick at the sight of the lifeless body of Bob. Last Wednesday at my football game, a player for the other team was tackled very hard. As he rolled to his back, I noticed something wasn't quite right. The players foot was dangling in a very awkward position. At that moment a chill shocked my body because I had inferred that his foot was severely broken. The sight left me uneasy with a tight knot in my stomach. The player was carried off of the field on a stretcher. Although the player was not dead, I still felt the same sickness that Pony felt at the sight of Bob. I hope to never feel that type of sickness again.
Angelo Manzo 4/5
A message that SE Hinton was stating how there are so many kids and teens, like myself, who, in this generation expose themselves with small social groups or gangs, as was the case with the Socs and Greasers. I can relate to the outsiders very well. An example of this is if a friend goes through hard times, or just needs someone to talk to for advice, i'm always there for them, as the greasers had each others backs throughout the book and the movie. Another way I can relate to the outsiders is when Johnny died. When he did, the gang was devistated, as I was when my closest grandfather past away when I was 10 years old. The gang was like family to him, and the gang all stuck together even though Johnny's death was a hard loss to overcome, especially for Dally, as the book stated that Johnny was the only thing Dally ever loved. So in conclusion, the outsiders can relate to anyone in many different ways, no matter the person. Hope Robinson 4/5th period
I have realized that there is a scene form The Outsiders that I can definitely relate to. It was the scene when Johnny was badly burned and was in the hospital for his injuries. Johnny had been trying to save the kids in the burning church from dying. He risked his life for the kids and their lives. This relates to something tragic that my mom has told me stories about. When my mom was six years old when she had an accident with a fire and got third degree burns. She was rushed to the hospital and had to be taken care of. It was so bad her legs had to be grafted so she wouldn't get skin cancer. She told me that it was a painful moment and I can relate her stories to Johnny and his burn. However my mom survived her burn. Aaron Kovack 4-5 period
A scene in The Outsiders that compares to something I've experienced in life is friendship. In the movie before the rumble, Ponyboy and most of his gang were playing around and having a good time. This scene showed that they would have each other's backs and that they liked being with each other. Whether it would be an exciting time or a rough time, they would always be together. Experiences in life are similar. When someone is going through a hard time, they know that their friends will be there for them. When someone is going through a great time, they know that their friends will be there to enjoy it with them.
Ella Broadhurst 6/7 Period
Something that I can to relate to is the friendship and feelings the Greasers shared. The Greasers helped each other no matter what happened. For example, when Johnny killed Bob, Ponyboy and Dally didn't abandon him. They both did whatever they could to help Johnny. The Greasers fought their battles as one just like a football team or any other team would. The Greasers were like a family. My family and friends won't abandon me. My family will do whatever it takes to help me solve a problem. This something I can relate to.
Jayden Richardson
1st&2nd period
A part of the outsiders I can relate to is the greasers and the socs. I can relate to the greasers and the socs cliques just by watching individuals in everyday life. For example, there are groups of kids at school who form cliques and look after each other. These cliques take up for one another, and are defensive when it comes to their friends. In the movie, the greasers are always blamed for crimes and looked down upon. When kids form cliques they typically form options based on other groups of friends. Sometimes the groups are looked down upon because of the way they dress, act, or speak. In relation to the movie, each kid should realize that no matter what clique they are in each person probably has some type of battle they are dealing with inside. We should stand up for our friends, but also look out for others as well.

When I was in second and third grade I got bullied in school by a group of girls. I felt alienated that no one liked me. I had a hard time trusting people and still do to this day. I’m not always sure who is my friend and who isn’t. For that reason, I tend to find myself more alone then surrounded by people. I wanted to move to Buffalo with my family but I wasn't able to. I can relate to the movie because the Socs bullied the Greasers and they felt alienated. They also wanted to move but they weren't able to.

A way that the movie relates to me is the way the greasers were like family. They always had each others back and stood up for each other. My friends are like that. I know that I can trust them and will do what ever they can when I need something. We are always at each others houses like the greasers were. When Johnny was in the hospital, his friends were right there beside him. They visited everyday they could. They would risk there lives for each other and I feel that my friends would too. My friends are like family!

Something that I relate to from the Outsiders would be. How the greasers and the socs were such great friends. I am lucky to have all the friends I have. I also relate to how good of friends pony and Johnny are. If I was in that situation my friends would be there for me. I don't think I'd ever get in that situation, but if I did I know they would be there. I also relate how they do activities by hanging out with each other. Because me and my friends all hang out, and act like family.
Eden Williams 4th-5th period class
In S.E. Hinton The Outsiders the messages Hinton was trying to get across was very noticeable. I can relate to PonyBoy’s gang’s feelings about how Johnny is hurt and in the hospital. I can relate to this because I have an aunt that has cancer and can’t walk so I now know how the gang felt about losing Johnny. I am afraid of losing my aunt and so is the rest of my family. It is so hard trying to not think about her condition when, you have already just remembered how bad and serious cancer really is. This relates by how Pony’s gang had worried about losing Johnny and my family worries about my aunt.
How the greasers have a family and there not really a gang but a family that is compassionate and looks out for one another. Also the socs have a family you can tell because of one reason when bob dies randy is dis trout and its not just one gang of socs who beat up greasers and jump them to. instead they are a family of brothers who look out for one another. i can relate to this because of how i have a loving caring family sometimes we argue just like in the movie/book how ponyboy fights with his older brother but they still love each-other. Family never breaks apart threw rough times and in the movie even when johnny killed someone they were all there to have his back and help him threw this tough time.
Isaak Guentert 4th-5th
The loyalty conveyed among both the Socs and the Greasers was very strong. It's resilience reminded me of how today's teens interact with their perspective peers. Looking back now, I have witnessed the division of groups since elementary school. Then, even small children often opted not to engage much with anyone other than who was in their group, wether it be in the classroom or on the playground. Loyalty was demonstrated throughout "The Outsiders." One would stand up for the other even in extreme circumstances. For example, the scene at the fountain when Ponyboy is shoved face first into the fountain by a Soc. He nearly drowns and awakens on the pavement only to find Johnny covered in blood. Johnny's loyalty was extreme in that he desperately stabbed his friends attacker in defense. In turn, this led to their getaway, together. I feel that people tend to relate to those that are similar to themselves. Once a common ground is established, wether it be background or other likes or interests, a strong bond is formed. We feel more attached to those type of people that we feel are "like us." It is an instinct to stand up for those we care about, such as my long time friends would do for me and I for them.

S.E Hition wrote the book "The Outsiders", in this book she wrote about many different things that relate to real live. Some of them even relate to some of my experiences in the real world. One example is whenever my football team was playing a game, a player on the other team didn't have very good sportsmanship. He was getting all in our quarter backs face so we ran over to them and broke it up. This relates to the book because in this situation our team had each others back and we considered the team family, just like the gang in "The Outsiders." Another way it related to my life is where some of the book happened. One location in the book was at a drive in movie and it was at night time. I have good memories at them and have I've always liked going to a Drive In. In the book the gang would always go the drive in together just like me and my friends do.
Zach Anderson 6/7
In the book "The Outsiders", S.E. Hinton used many different things in the book that mainly anyone can relate too. What I can probably relate to the most in the book is when Randy tells Ponyboy that he won't participate in the rumble because he is done with all the fighting. How I relate to this is because when I see fighting or hear about fighting that happens around the world, I get frustrated because I don't think fighting should happen at all and I want it to stop. In conclusion, S.E. Hinton used many different shills when writing the book, but one thing that you can tell very cleary is that you can relate to many things that happen.
Olivia O'Connnor 4th/5th period
S.E. Hinton wrote the amazing book The Outsiders. The story had many great scenes in it but on scene I can really relate to was the rumble. I can relate this to a football game because when some one messes with a teammate it is an automatic instinct to stand up for them. Like the greasers who always had each other's backs when fighting the socs. Given any circumstance great friends and relationships will win over wealth or size. Which this is probably the leading cause of why our football team is so dominant. So all in all I have great friends on and off the football field.
One thing I can relate to in the book "The Outsiders" Is friendship. No matter what happened they always had each other's back. My friends do the same for me. Sometimes they didn't get along but they still were like family. That's how I am with my friends. They would do anything for eachother even if it was a risk. I would do the same for my friends. Over all they relied on eachother and trusted one another,through the good and bad. I would be the same way with the people I care about. They were like family to eachother. Elaina Whiteman 1/2 period
Something in The Outsiders i can relate to is the way Pony wants everyone to realize that the Socs and Greasers are not all that different after all. One instant he does this, is after his talk with Randy. Although i cannot directly link this to my life, I can relate it to the book I'm reading. In the book I'm reading the students start a movement that was to show that all the students had the same potential. Not everyone believes in this movement kind of how some characters in The Outsiders just told Ponyboy that Socs would always be Socs and Greasers would always be Greasers. Both books show how our world we live in could be equal but the also show how both plans fail and become accepted as failures.
As I read "The Outsiders," I noticed that Pony's gang always had each other's backs. An example of this is when Dally robbed the store and called the gang. Immediately, the gang was there to help. Another example of this is when Johnny's parents would make him feel bad about himself. The gang would always make him feel better. I can compare these instances to my life with my friends. My friends are always there for me when I need them. I can always count on my friends to be there when I need them. I am extremely thankful to have such great friends.
The part of "The Outsiders" that I relate to is how Ponyboy feels different or left out, but then finds where he is supposed to be. I relate to this part of the story because in sixth grade I was new to this school and only knew a few people. I was the new kid; it was like kindergarten all over again. Just like Ponyboy, I didn’t have a lot of friends, and I was surrounded by people I didn’t know. By the end of the school year, I found people that I was similar to and could talk to. This relates to Ponyboy because by the end of the movie and book, Ponyboy realized who his real family and friends were. Ponyboy also changed how he felt by venting his feeling through writing his stories at the end of the book and movie. Just like Ponyboy I found my friends by looking for the good in people and by "Staying gold".
William Burns 1/2 period.
One scene I can relate to in The Outsiders is the scene where Dally helps Pony and Johnny. He gave them a gun and money even though he could get in trouble for it, from either the police or with Darry. The other members of the gang would have also stuck up for them. I can relate to that because my friends would do the same for me. If I were in a situation like that, I'm sure at least one of my friends would have been crazy enough to do what Dally did. True friends should always be there and help each other no matter what. Ponyboy and Johnny also trusted that Dally would know what to do. Strong friendships require trust and faith in each other. I am lucky to have friends that I know I can trust.

I can relate to the outsiders . The outsiders reminded me of how good of friends and family I have. Family and friends meant a lot in the outsiders and would always be there for one another. They would always be there for them when they needed them in the most just like Johnny and pony boy had. I can't believe I have such good friends to be there for me every day. Me and my friends love to hang out and they're like family to me. The outsiders reminded me of how good of friends and family could be to one another. They would always be there me even if I wasn't always there for them.
Kierstyn Ensminger 4-5th
I relate to the scene that Johnnh and Dally died because I've had loved ones pass away suddenly and I didn't know because I was only just a little girl. Then there is when they can't take their deaths as reality. I thought I was dreaming, then woke up realize it was real and my imagination run wild. Also, I relate to where they are basically family. I treat my friends like they are my closes relatives. I believe that everyone should be treated fairly as either friends or family. Even if they treat me badly, I still treat them like a human being. I try to keep my close friends closer so that I don't lose them or anything else.

I can relate to feeling stressed about having school problems. Pony said that he only had the group and no other freinds. I usually don't talk in my "group" and Pony didn't either. He tried to stay out of drama and I do too. I also relate to when Dallas lost Johnny, because he never realized how important Johnny really was. Before I lost my grandpa Ihadn't realized how important he was. I loved the lesson that The Outsiders taught me. I hope to learn more in the 8th grade.
Emma Cain

After reading the book, I've realized that most people can relate to the themes of alienation and isolation. I'm pretty sure almost every human on this planet has felt alone at some point in their life, whether it be due to things such as exclusion from a friend group, an existential crisis, loss of a family member, bullying, or even something as severe as depression. I know that there are times when I've felt stressed or depressed, especially after my grandmother passed away two years ago, and I've felt as if no one understood what I was going through. I'd felt alone and unable to talk to people about this. These feelings of isolation are especially common during the teenage years, so that makes the book much more relatable to my age group and able to stand the test of time since, sadly, there will always be people who feel this way. I feel like the way the book portrays this isolation makes us realize that we're not as alone in our emotions as we think; we're not alone in feeling alone.
Taya Sullivan, 4th-5th
From watching The Outsiders I've realised how much society has changed and to be more specific friendships. People today don't really care that much about their friends unless their really close. In school people use the term "fake" to describe people who are two-faced. They often talk about their "friends" behind their back. In the movie during the rumble the greasers helped each other even though they weren't all from the same place. This shows that no matter were they were from they would stick up for each other. In today's world people don't care. They could drop a friend like trash, but In the book and movie they stuck together and didn't give up on each other. In conclusion, today we are less caring than trusting.
In The Outsiders, the group of friends stuck together no matter what happend. I can relate to that because I have friends that we stick together through good or bad times. They protected eachother and stood up for eachother anywhere, anytime. For example, when Dally robbed the gas station the boys ran to meet him so that they could help him wtithe whatever he needed. That to me is true friendship. Even though it meant they could go to jail too for helping Dally, they saw him as family and they would do anything to help him because family always sticks together.

In the world today kids split themselves interested their own "groups". All kids have their special group of friends or buds they hang out with,which is kind of how the greasers and socs were. Today many kids get left out or feel like they don't exist because everyone has their own special friends. I believe thAts how many problems are started. In my opinon everyone should stick together and be friends with everyone.
A scene I can relate to is when everyone is relieved and elated to have Ponyboy return home. During winter of 2014 I took a trip to India. It was a month long trip with little communication with the United States due to wireless connection problems. After being away for a month I returned to friends who missed me and were excited to have me home. In the scene Pony is met by his close friends who are like family to him. An overall comparison to myself and the movie could be my group of friends. We are a close knit group who act as a family. We are loyal to one another and care about each other. The greasers are too like this. They are each other's family and would never abandon each other. The socs could also relate to this concept even though we are not giving a close look into their inside lives.

S.E.hinton was the writer of the outsiders.The outsiders was an amazing book.The battle between the greasers and the socs. During the story the two gangs fight each other.But soon in the story there was a rumble between the two groups.At the end of the rumble the greasers win it.The gangs stayed together and helped out each other.I can relate because in football some football games there can be a fight.In the fight you have to help your teammates and get them out of the fight.

I relate to the part where the greasers and the socs are like family. I relate because I feel my group of friends are my family and I can trust them. For example the socs and greasers told each other everything and alwaysed helped each other out. They were always friends and stuck together. People are now feeling left out because there are people who only want to hang out with the people they know. No one wants to make new friends or get to know people. Friends stick together and always help each other out in any situation. For example when Dally decided to rob the gas station all his friends ran to help because that is what true friends do. Always be loyal and kind to one another just like the Socs and Greasers did in their groups.

One thing I relate to in The Outsiders is how, within all the cliques, everyone cares for everyone. Within my clique and others, such as in the movie with the Socs and Greasers, everyone cares for one another. Everyone within a group sticks together through thick and thin. They try to keep everyone feeling positive. One group may ignore or harass all or some of the other groups, but, as their own little group, be extremely tight-knit. In both the movie The Outsiders and in real life, social classes and cliques tend to stay incredibly close within themselves and rarely branch out to others.

S.E. Hinton's novel the outsiders has been passed down generations, and has been somewhat relatable to every teen in that time frame. A relatable part of the story is the times where the guys are just out about town, being together as a group, because, as teens, we all have close groups of friends who we choose to spend time with in these first years that we are given some freedom. How close the characters are in the novel inspires us to want to have that good of a relationship with our current friends and the ones we'll have in the future.
A scene I can relate to would be when Pony visited Johnny in the hospital before he died. When my brother had salmonella in fourth grade, I thought something horrible was going to happen. I would go to visit him everyday that I could. Also at that same time I had just broken my arm. So this was very similar to when Pony was hurt and saw Johnny. Luckily my brother didn't die, and was only in the hospital for a few days. Many of my family members have been in the hospital, but this was different because he is my brother. It would be weird to not have him as a sibling.

One idea that relates to life I see all around is the gangs and people like greasers and socs but different looking. There are problems around the world involved wiyh gangs and ect. One big thing in the book that is close to me is still here today is the wealth people may have. Some of the kids in our school might not have the money like all the other kids which leaves us thinking they are weird or dress funny. This just isn't fare in our world but people do it anyway. I try my best to give kids a help up if they need one or if they are just feeling down.
There was a couple things the same in the movie to me. A scene that relates to me is hoe the socs and the greasers fight. Its like when i'm at school and there is all this drama. Also they show it alot in the movie. This is how it relates to me. Another thing is that when I almost got in a fight. Thats what happend alot in the movie. They almost got into fights. Another Thing is that you se other kids with little money. I feel bad when i see this. The outsiders had very little money.
For starting off this book is such a good book,with all the excitment it brings you.During the movie the outsiders I think there were a few parts that I have experienced before. For one example the scene were darry yelled at ponyboy. That has happened to me with my brothers. They were screaming and yelling at me. Another scene is when they tried to save the kids out of the church. Now I havent really done that but I have saved someone from getting hit by something.That is how im similar to some of the scenes in that book.
One thing I can relate to in the movie are the themes of friendship and loyalty. Like the greasers my friends are always there for me. Whether we are just hanging out together or at the mall shopping together they can always make me laugh. My friends would do almost anything for me much like the greasers or socs would do for there friends. For example when Johnny killed Bob, him and Pony went to Dally because they new he would get them to a place to lay low. Dally does this for Ponyboy and Johnny even thought there is the great risk of getting in trouble with the law himself. Dally risked getting caught because he cared so much for his friends. That is how I can relate to the movie,The Outsiders.
Something I can relate to from the book is that Hinton saw the groups at her school and did not like it. Often times at our school we separate ourselves in groups and leave people out. Ponyboy didn't agree with the groups on the book but he knew that's just how is was going to be. Later on he realized that the Socs and the Greasers were just people they were the same and they saw the same things such as the sunset on different sides of town. Another thing i can realate to for the book is how close the Greasers were they were like family. My friends are considered family to me just like the boys did. They were very loyal to eachother and always had each other's backs. They would never let anything bad happen to another if they could help it. I would do anything for my friends or family and always try to help. I believe that is how I compare my life to The Outsiders.

I can relate to many different things and subjects in this book but the one that stood out was how the greasers stuck together no matter what. They were always there for eachother and never left one of them behind because that were more family than anything else. I can relate to this because all my friends and family are always there for me and they always have my back and watch out for me. There is not a day that goes by that they don't help me out. Also that's the same thing with the greasers. When Johnny stabbed Bob, pony didn't run off after he found out. He helped him get help from dally and they left together. Throughout that whole thing Pony didn't leave his side. All in all, I relate to the outsiders in many ways.

I can relate 100% to the greasers. They stay together no matter what like a pack of wolves. I never leave my friends in the dust. If they are always there for me, I am there for them. It's kind of like you give and receive constantly. When I was in the hospital with pneumonia when I was younger, lots of friends came to see me, as they did to Johnny. I have also gone to the hospital to visit friends in need. I think that S.E.Hinton would agree when I say this. Once you find true friends, they become family.
Kerrigan Greene 6/7
I can relate to where they were all helping each other. When I play soccer we all work together no matter how much we win or lose. I can also relate to the fight when they tried as hard as they were able to to win. They also did not give up even if people were beating them bad. On my soccer team we don't give up even if we are losing the game. I Can also relate to where they fought even though they were outnumbered. On my team we played many games with one less person than usual. that is how I can relate to the scenes in The Outsiders.
By reading The Outsiders I’ve learned how close the Greasers are. They are great friends that treat each other like family. I can relate to this because I have friends who are like family to me. My friends are always there for me whenever I need them and they always have my back no matter what. My friends and I are there for each other no matter what condition we are in. An example is when Ponyboy was getting beat up by Socs, Johnny hopped in and scared away them to save his friend. I can really relate to this because no matter what situation my friends are in I’m always going to back them up.
Emily pitman 6/7
A scene that i can relate to numerous things in this book. One would would be how the greasers stuck together like a pack of wolves. I would never leave my friends out there ,if they were there for me.And that there is not a day that dosent go buy that they wont help me.Also the same thing with the Greasers. When Johnny stabbed Bob Pony didnt run off he found out. He got help by dally and left together. All in all i can relate to the Outsiders to my daily life.

Reading the book and watching the movie "The Outsiders" I learned some things about the book that relate to real life. When Socs and Greasers were fighting it reminds me of when me and my brothers fight sometimes. Another relation is that when Greasers fight they have each others back and when I am annoyed by something I know that my friends have my back. So the book "The outsiders" is a great book to read because it teaches you loyalty and friendship. The book relates to a lot of really life events and probably my favorite book we have read yet!
One scene in the movie i can relate to is when one of the Socs brought Pony over to his car and had a private chat. Even though they knew they were supposed to hate each other just because of the differences between the two groups, they still were able to have a conversation. Just because hang out with a different set of people doesnt mean you dont have to like the other. I think this was the message S.E Hinton was trying to send. She was in highschool at the time and knew what she was talking about. She was trying to say that when your friends with everyone there will not be as much problems. Like when Johny died. If he wouldve never had to stab the Soc, he wouldve never had to run away to the church. He wouldve never had to run into the burning church. This just shows how much better it is to stay friends with everyone, even if your group doesnt like them.
I can relate to the fight with the Socs and Greasers, when my sister and I would fight. She was older and played sports, so she was all muscle. My skinny little butt would get kicked every time. But when I needing someone to stick up for me, she was there for me.
Tyler Hinkle
One of the scenes I would relate to would be when they saved the kids who were in the burning church. Friends are very important to me and I would do anything in my power to help my friends when they are in trouble. S. E. Henson was talking about the bond that friends have that can't be broken. They showed great bravery because they were thinking about their friends and not about themselves. My friends mean the world to me. The same way friends in the movie had each other's back, I would do the same for my friends.
One scene that I can relate to is the part where Ponyboy and Dally are trying to scare some kids while the kids are playing with some cards. This reminds me of when I had to go to a babysitters in Williamsburg, Virginia during the weekdays. The older brother would try and scare us but it usually never really worked all that well, unlike the kids in the movie, we didn't get threatened he just acted all cool. With his band posters all over his walls. Well what do you expect from a teenager anyway.
Brenden McFarland 6/7 period
One scene in the movie i relate to is the way all the greasers/socs had each others backs. I would never betray or take advantige of my friends because i know they all have my back also. Most of us are strong willed and to stubborn to the piont where it is unlikely to happen anyway. I hope it stays this way forever.

I think multiple scenes in the Outsiders were relate able to everyone to some degree. However, If you could not relate to anything in the movie you could learn from the movie and use that in real life. In Addition, one scene that I could relate to was the Rumble scene between Darry and one of his old friends. For a brief second everyone stopped. Why? I think that at that moment those two had a moment of brief second of clarity. I think They were wondering why are we fighting. Why are you a Socs and I'm a Greaser. I felt like they didn't want to fight for that brief second. The relation to this scene is that one time in elementary school I had to face my best friend for the first time. I was excited nervous worried a mixture of emotions but, then before tip off right when the ball was in the air we looked at each other. It was a brief moment but it felt like an eternity. Do I want to play? Why are we doing this? Then the game was on and all thought from that point on went away because I was not going to lose. I think the thing Darry knew just liked I knew he did not want to do it but, he already made the decision to do it. This was the reason the Outsiders was so great for me was because you could put yourself in these characters shoes.
The scene in the movie that I can compare to is when Ponyboy falls asleep in the parking lot. After he had fallen asleep at the lot he went home and it was after his curfew. I can relate to that because when I go to my friend's house I sometimes miss curfew too . When I am there we usually we lose track of time because we are having so much fun. So we lose track and miss curfew. Just like Ponyboy I get in trouble, just not the same punishment as he got
I can relate to "The Outsiders" because of the groups at school. Like how all the Socs thought they were better than the Greaser because they were jocks, and did sports, and were popular then the Greasers. That's how it is at our school the football players, and basketball players, and cheerleaders think their better than the people that don't play a sport, but their really not. We are al the same, and it was the same with the Socs, and Greasers they were all the same, but just because the Socs had worn Madras, and leather jackets they thought they were better than the Greasers, but really they weren't because they thought they were to cool to let the Socs hang out with them because they were from a different part of the town. No matter what just because you were born on the other side of town doesn't make you the best it makes you the same as the rest of the people around the town even if you are split up into two different social groups you all the same people just dressed differently.
Kiara Cosby 6/7
In the outsiders, they all really good friends. They all have a special relationship with one another and I can relate that with my friends. PonyBoy and Jhonny are very close. They laugh often and tell each other their secrets. It relates to me and my bestfriend. Were a lot like Jhonny and Poneyboy Curtis and thats how I can relate to the movie-book.
tiarra sharp 4/5
Here ten facts about Auschwitz , they killed more people than Jews, this camp was the most high count, they killed babies and women, they had two different lines, they had acid showers, one line for work/slaves, they burned the bodies of the dead, or made a family member bury the body, they they had electric fences, and they starved the inmates. Those are my facts about Auschwitz.

Those are my facts about Auschwitz.
One thing that I relate to in The Outsiders is friendship. I have great friends that have my back and make me laugh every day. Clearly, the Greasers had each others back. An example is when Dallas robbed the store. Darry said as they were running out the door that they need to hide him. Darry was attempting to keep Dallas from going to jail. Also, when Johnny died, the whole gang was devastated. I would do just about anything for my friends as they would me, just like the gang would do to each other. You need friends to help you overcome obstacles in life. Like if you lose a big game in a sport, then you would be pretty sad. So, you need friends to pick you up. The message that S.E Hinton is trying to express is friendship, and how both Greasers and Socs stuck together no matter what.

In the book The Outsiders one scene in the movie that I have experienced. The scene i go back to is the movie drive in scene. When i was younger i went to a drive in with my cousins and uncle.
