The Outsiders View

Point of view in The Outsiders

In this piece I will be writing about Pony boys and Derry’s Point of view of them fighting the Socs in The Outsiders.

  In the book The Outsider there is a young man with a nickname of Pony boy. His life gets sucked in to this gang called the greasers and their arch nemesis are the Socs. Socs stand for the Socials and the reason their name is like that is because they are the rich and wealthy people with all the nice stuff. The Greasers are the outcastes that don’t have a lot of money and get in trouble with the cops a lot.

  Pony boy`s view of this isn’t so good he doesn’t like it. He thinks it`s not the life style for him because he doesn’t like the fighting. He also doesn’t like seeing his friends and his family being killed I mean who would like that. In the story he even tells a Soc that he doesn’t like it because they were having a meeting about the brawl.

  Derry’s view of this all is different he likes to fight because he`s a big tough guy. He likes to just act tough and just be like a grownup he is always on top of pony boy he is like a father figure to pony boy. He always tells pony boy when to be home and shows him a lot of love. The reason is because he doesn’t want anything to happen to him since the gang fight is going on.

Compare/Contrast The Patriot and The Fighting Ground

By. Blaze Beltran

  Once there was a nice quite family  with a house surrounded by a bunch of land. Then one day  a messenger comes along  and then their whole life changes. They go to town for a meeting  and then their oldest boy Gabriel signs up to be a soldier for the Americans.  A battle not too long from that happened right in their front yard his son just happened to be in it and he gets shot and runs home to get cared for.

  When his son comes home not too long from that the red coats take him because he was an American troop. Then the second oldest reacted and got himself killed. The father reacts then and kills all the troops that were there to get his son back and then he gets his own militia and they help out the American revolution a lot because of them.

  Once there was a young boy that all he wanted to do was fight in war because his life was boring. Well he got that chance one day and took it he was scared when he was in it he couldn’t see anyone so he ran and got captured they find this boy and then barrier his dead mom and dad and stay at the house for a couple of nights. Then the boy ends up escaping and getting back to his town all safely.

  They both fought for their country but they both had  different kinds of stories though. They were both teenage boys in the story that go to war. Both end up getting captured except in the fighting ground he doesn`t get away for a while and ends up picking up a child while on his journey.  In the patriot there was more fighting and war and more situations and a better story even.
