Theme
“ Things are rough all over.” Text Evidence 1: In chapter 2, Ponyboy and Cherry
have a discussion when they meet up at the drive in movie theater where Cherry tells him that Socs have problems just as the greasers do.
Text Evidence 2: Ponyboy and Johnny are living in a poor and unstable home. Johnny’s parents are alcoholic parents who don’t care about him, and Ponyboy’s parents died in a car crash.
Text Evidence 3: In chapter 7, Bob’s friend Randy tells Ponyboy that after Bob’s death he has grown sick of the violence between the gang and will not be at the rumble.

Point of View
The Outsiders is written in First Person. Ponyboy, a character in the story, is the
narrator. Throughout the story he reveals his thoughts and feelings.

Symbolism
Bob’s rings represent wealth and power. When he uses his rings as a weapon it is like he is using his money to have an advantage.
Cars are also a symbol of wealth and power since the Socs used them to sneak up on the greasers and to get away whereas the greasers had the disadvantage of getting around by foot for the most part.
