In the novel ‘The Outsiders’ there were many important conflicts between the characters.
An important conflict in the ‘The Outsiders’ was the one between Ponyboy and his family. For example there was the conflict between Ponyboy and Darry. Darry was hard on Ponyboy and we see this when Ponyboy was late home and Darry slapped him. This is showing the readers the responsibility Darry has looking after Ponyboy and Soda. The authors purpose of this was to show us that family will be hard on you sometimes but that just shows that they care and are just protective. This reminds me of ‘Pretty Little Liars’ when Aria’s fiance think she’s starting to hate him but she’s actually doing a lot of things to protect him.
Another conflict was between the greasers and the socs. We see this during the rumble where both gangs were fighting each other. The makes us understand the relationship between these two gangs. S.E. Hinton’s purpose of this was to show was gangs are like in real life. This can be juxtaposed with ‘Teen Wolf’ where Scott and his friends fight against the chimeras.
There was also a conflict between Bob and Johnny. We first see this conflict when Bob jumps Johnny. Then later on in the book Johnny stabs and kills Bob. This makes the readers worried for what will happen to Johnny next. The purpose of this was to create a storyline for the whole novel. It was all based around this conflict. This can kind of be be compared to ‘Supernatural’ where Azazel starts a conflict with the Winchesters and is later on killed by them.
Lastly there’s the conflict between the three brothers. Ponyboy, Darry and Sodapop. Near the end of the book Soda gets annoyed at the other two for fighting and runs off. This shows us how soda feels about Ponyboy and Darry fighting. The purpose was to show how it can feel to be in the middle of someone’s conflict.
I really like how you link your paragraphs to tv shows, I now understand Ponyboy's conflict with others. To make this way better, next time you can add a last link to your paragraph 4 you could do something like it reminded me of a tv show called spongebob, with squidward patrick and spongebob.
ReplyDeleteCinnamon, I really like that you explained the conflict between Darry and Ponyboy, I now understand why Darry was hard on Ponyboy, Maybe next time you could choose not tv shows as your links
ReplyDeleteCinnamon, i liked how you described everything with good detail. i now know a lot more about all of the characters. what you could do next time is write a little bit more. But other then that this was so gooood <3
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job and used good specific examples, and put heaps of effort in, i now have a better understanding for my essay too, maybe next time you could use a link on the last paragraph but apart from that super good jobbbbb :)
