The OutsidersS.E. Hinton began writing the novel when she

was 15 and did most of the work on it at age 16. It was published when she was 18.

It was ranked #38 on the American Library Association’s Top 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–1999.

This book has been banned from some schools and libraries because of the portrayal of gang violence, underage smoking and drinking, as well as strong language/slang and family dysfunction.

Page 15: The Outsiders S.E. Hinton. Power Writing Round 1 Lower Class Upper Class.

Sample Character Analysis: Darry CurtisDarry Curtis is the six-foot-two older brother

of Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis. He is described as “broad-shouldered and muscular,” with “dark-brown hair that kicks out in front” (p.6). His eyes are described as cold and determined like “two pieces of pale blue-green ice” (p.6). His role as Ponyboy and Sodapop’s caregiver makes him appear older than age 20. The text states that he “uses his head,” and he “doesn’t understand anything that is not plain hard fact” (p.7).

Chapter 2What would you say?

After reading chapter 2, you will be writing about one of the characters we have met through the first two chapters.

Following the model below, you will write about something that you would discuss with any of the characters from chapters 1 & 2. It will  be your choice on the character and what you will talk about--all you need to do is fill in the blanks (If I could speak with ___________, I would tell (ask) him/her ___________________ ) and then explain why.

       Examples:

            If I could speak with Ponyboy , I would ask him why he decided to be a greaser... (Then provide reasons why you would ask this)

            If I could tell Dally something, I would tell him that he needs to grow up...

            If I could talk to Cherry , I would praise her for her free thinking...

In your response, include one piece of text (directly from the novel) that relates to the topic you are speaking about. This will be done in your writer’s books with the proper heading and the title "What would you say?”.Complete at least FIVE (5) Post-Its while you read.
