My Essay!

Introduction:

(Optional)

In this Essay I am going to describe the Greasers actions and feelings towards the news of there brother Johnny's death. And how it has changed there thinking and actions towards the Soc.

The changes I felt were the biggest in the Book, The Outsiders, written by S.E Hinton.

Were when Johnny was in hospital, slowly and painfully dying.

And because it was the saddest bit in the book for me I thought it changed the direction the book was going in because, it changed the Greasers mindset of them losing the ones they loved the most.

For Example when Need to know name found out that his brother passed away he couldn't even live with himself, so he stole, and went back to his old ways, because I think when he felt and realised that his Angel like brother was gone and that to him there wasn't any point of life.

The director showed this by telling us some of the senses he felt during this rough time.

Another important incident was when all the Greasers fought the Socs.

the reason being was because they said that they were doing it for Johnny, but really Johnny changed after he saved those little children in the church fire, his last words were to Ponyboy, the brother who ran away with him, and changed throughout the book as well. Johnny quoted stay Gold Ponyboy, stay gold.

And what I think that meant was to be you, because there isn't another you in the whole world, and you should stay true to yourself, don't worry what the brothers think of you, because you a one of a kind.

Throughout the whole book I felt that  the author S.E Hinton was putting out a message and that message was, no matter where you come from or who you are it isn't too late to change for the better.

And because of that I have learnt a great lesson in life.
