The Outsiders

Here we are again with my first after book essay and I must say it was interesting. The story was full of different feelings from action to drama and contains characters with so much personality and drama to make you cry. So yea make sure you read the book but anyway you came here to read an essay and I will deliver just that. Today I will be explaining in four paragraphs about what the story and quotation did to me and what it made me think about by the end in addition, I'll be explaining how each character affected me as well so sit back, relax and enjoy the reading.

Beginning on I'll start with the quotation"nothing gold can say". The quotation could never be truer than anything what it basically means is that nothing good …show more content…

First the main character pony boy he is the second youngest of the group and the smartest and he taught me to use my head in bad situations or else things will be a lot worse. Next we have Soda pony boys brother he is supposedly the most handsome of the group and pony boy's spokesman he is kind hearted and well spoken however he dropped out of school so he can help his brother pay for bills and he taught me that kindness is one of the best personalities and that standing up for your friends will help them stand up for you. His brother's up next and he's a more technical member as he's usually busy taking care of his younger brothers rather than being out with the gang despite this he's one of the strongest characters in the group of course never using his strength to his advantage unless he's at work and he taught me that taking care of your siblings is so thing next to required to do as you teach them what you are capable of and why they need you as a brother or sister. Finally the last character worth mentioning is Dally he is the rebel of the group and always getting into trouble but still faithful to the group and his friends. He taught me no matter what you are good or evil you should always be good to your friends and ensue trust and willingness to help any way you can whether it's giving some spare money and your coat or helping a friends case to get out of jail.

There you have it a full four paragraphs about the outsiders and what it did for yours truly. If you didn't read or buy the book I recommend it the story is amazing with twists and turns at every corner and I ensure you by chapter three you'll be on your toes the rest of the book waiting to know what happens next. So with a fare thee well this is Clayton Stone sighing out of my access and I will see you on the next essay sponsored by Mrs Haas
