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.
