Fear

Fear
Fear is something that can affect your everyday life, just do not think that you are the only one feeling it because fear is an everyday battle that we have to face. The feeling of intensity when you are reading this book is extraordinary and makes you feel some of the same feelings the main character has. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton captures a clip of what life truly is like inside an active gang.

These two gangs fighting like this can really relate to the average persons everyday arguments like politics and money. Both of the gangs at this point really don’t know if they should feel scared or not, they don’t know who’s going to do what. I have had that feeling before when i had a neighbor that was way older than me and he kept on threatening me, I didn’t feel scared butt I probably should have. This is probably how Ponyboy feels right now he’s scared but if he follows the rules he really doesn’t have to be.

In chapter 10 when it says, “as pony boy wanders through the hospitals in a daze he keeps saying to himself that did not die; he is in denial about Johnnie’s death. I have felt this way too for seven years my friend Matthew lived in my neighborhood until one day he moved. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen but it finally did and I still didn’t know why but it stunk. That is I think how pony boy feels right now because this all seems unreal to him but all that he knows is it sucks.

S.E. Hinton really did a good job of capturing an image of a true rivalry between two gangs and when I read this book the question that comes to my mind is how did the author think of all the dialogue in this book or gang talk, did she write this book because maybe she had encounters with a gang in real life. This is a great book that teaching the reader a few different perspectives that people can have on fear.
