...Should Ponyboy Curtis stay with his brother and the gang risking his life, or go to a safe system that wouldn’t promote violence and get him possibly hurt. If Ponyboy is faced with a problem and gets in trouble, he could possibly go to court and go to a boys home and not have his brothers in his life anymore. Ponyboy should go to the system so he won’t be in danger and get very injured. Darry puts Ponyboy in much danger and puts him at very big risks of getting seriously hurt. “Let me fight, Darry…”“Well”-Darry gave in-”I guess you can”(Hilton, Chapter 9, page 135). Thus showing Darry giving in to fighting which is not a safe thing to do. This can also get them in very big trouble if the police come and break up the rumble and see Pony and Soda there with Darry's permission to go. “Listen, Soda, you and Ponyboy, Darry said as we strode down the street, ‘if the fuzz show, you two beat it out of there. The rest of us can only get jailed.”(Hilton, Chapter 9 page 137). Furthermore, Darry still knows the risks of letting Pony and Soda fight but still allows the to be apart of the...

Darry is taking the responsibility of caring for his family after the crash. Also, “ On Average, what else teenagers earned made up almost a quarter of the money their families...

...lost what’s important to you? In the book entitled The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton a young- adult fiction Ponyboy and Sodapop should stay with Darry or go into foster care. Pony and Soda should go into foster care because Darry doesn’t take care of them like he’s supposed to. Darry isn’t an appropriate guardian for Pony and Soda. “Let me fight, Darry…” “Well-” Darry gave in- “I guess you can” (Hinton 135). This shows that Darry isn’t cut out to be their guardian because he is risking Ponyboy’s life by letting him fight in a rumble when he should be at home. In the first place Ponyboy shouldn’t be begging Darry to let him fight because his safety comes first. “Listen, Soda, you and Ponyboy, Darry said as we strode down the street, ‘if the fuzz show, you two beat it out of there. The rest of us can only get jailed” (Hinton 137). Not only is he letting them fight but he is telling them that if the police come...

...stereotype. One of the two of the major social classes in the book are the Greasers, a group of people who value survival and in unity as protection for one another. The second are the Socials who are a contemptuous group of people and feel as if Greasers are unsuitable to walk among them. When society creates a certain idea of a person, they categorize them into social classes. When society allocates people to social classes, not only does it create separation between the Socs and the Greasers, but it also creates an obstacle. Many think of the Greasers are failures, criminals, and hoodlums. Because Socs feel a sense of authorization over Greasers, they decide to intimidate Greasers in their spare time. An example of expectation occurs when Ponyboy Curtis and Dally Winston speed to meet Johnny Cade at the hospital, and a police officer pulls them over for driving too fast. Initially, the officer assumed they were up to no good due to the fact that they were Greasers. However, he was then told otherwise. S.E Hinton wrote “The policemen looked disgusted. ‘All right buddy, where’s the fire?’” (146). Because of the expectation of no good, opportunity for the Greasers is constrained, whereas opportunity comes to the Socs. This...
