Authors note: I wrote this to explain a critical theme from the book The Outsiders and if the theme effects the real world.
The book “The Outsiders” has an important theme which is to not judge other people, but what does this have to do with the Real world. The main character, Ponyboy was judged a lot because he is part of the greasers. It does have to do with the real world and it teaches people to not judge a book by its cover.
Many people judge others on how they look, like if a boy is wearing big glasses, everybody would think he is a nerd. In the book, the soc’s try to hurt Ponyboy just because he is a greaser. I think is the soc’s got to know him like how Cherry did, they would not try to target him. Everybody in the book besides the greasers, think that the greasers are trouble makers that rob stores. But if you got to know them you would know that some greasers are harmless like Ponyboy.
Like Ponyboy, I am misjudged too. I look like a person who only has a interest in learning and nothing else, but I hate learning and I love sports. I look like I do not like sports because of the way I look like (glasses, curly hair, very tall and slim). Even a trouble maker like Dally is misjudged by the public. Dally is misjudged too, for example he helps Ponyboy and Johnny and helps them so they don’t get into trouble like he did. Dally cared for Johnny especially because Dally seemed to of given up on life when Johnny died and in result Dally purposely killed himself.
Being misjudged happens across everywhere and that is why this book had such a big effect on people. It help realize to dig deeper with someone and find out there real personality before you misjudge them.
