Literature Analysis: The Outsiders
Summary: This is a story of a gang with violent lives. It starts with a teen gang called the greasers are at odds with their rival group. They get into a fight and it doesn't end well. Some of the boys are forced to go into hiding to avoid the consequences. Some meet tragic ends while others look for redemption.
The theme of this novel would be social conflict.
Based on the authors bitter and restless tone I imagine he would have a hard time sleeping and when he wakes up it would be hard for him to get out of bed. He would have no motivation to get out of bed. He would just want to stay in bed and complain about how he hates getting up in the morning. He would be mad and grumpy. He would head to the kitchen for some coffee, extra caffeine to try and stay awake or maybe beer or something. His breakfast would be something simple like maybe waffles crusty on the outside but soft on the inside. He would have grape jelly with his two waffles and a side of fruits like raspberries an orange and some strawberries.
The five literary techniques that i observed in the book The Outsiders were alliteration, Ponyboy one of the main character uses this to draw attention to the way the Soc (His rival) sneaked up on him. Allusion was also used when johnny told ponyboy to "stay gold" this was from a poem by Robert Frost which that they both had talked about while they were hiding in an old Church in Windrexvill. He says that because he knows that even though they are surrounded by violence he has hope for ponyboy that he will have a good life. Another technique would be foreshadowing, while ponyboy and johnny were hiding in the church smoking cigarettes ponyboy said "if that old church ever caught on fire, thered be no stopping it" Later on in the book the church actually caught on fire. Other techniques that were in the book were personification and similes
The violence and conflict drew me to this book. I wanted to read something different other than actions and adventure. I kept reading the book because the way the story is set. It is an old 90's syle which i love and there is conflict between two groups. One is lower class while the other is rich and there upper class.
