2nd Review of the OUTSIDERS

What was the author's purpose(s) in writing this book, and how can you tell? How well was this purpose achieved?  
     As reading through the book i sort of see what the other is really trying to show us in my opinion. I think that it is about care for each other I am talking about Ponyboy Curtis, Sodapop Curtis, and Darry Curtis. Because they're parents died in a car accident so now Darry who is the oldest is in charge of everything that is happening. Darry have two jobs because there would not be anyone else to support them. He works to give them food so they would not be sad all the time because there parents ussaly give them food and make it but they are not there. So that is why i think that the author is trying to say look how important carring is and if they were not taking care of each other they would get in a big mess or even to death because the symbols of their gang.

     Carrying is a good thing for the family because i know that it would not be great if one of your brothers or sisters die. (just trying to get to the point this is an example) Anyways they are so worried about each other because they do not want anymore people from their family to die. That is all they have is each other. Here is a quote were it showed that Darry cared about Ponyboy as he left his house for 5 days
"Oh, Pony, I thought we'd lost you . . . like we did Mom and Dad . . ."
this shows a lot of love in my opinion and it also showing that he really cares about him because he does not want anyone from his family to pass away because he Darry said that his Mom and Dad are enough.


     I think that this was well achieved because it does not just show one place where the other one cares about each other there is many different places like when Ponyboy was getting jumped his brother and the whole Greasers came to have his back. There is many different places where there is love and carrying but i am just naming the main thing that had me almost in a tear drop. Which is the one above.
