This person has written a short report about __The Outsiders__, similar to a My Meaning. She also answered a question about the whole position about being an outsider. What is an outsider?

Someone who is different from everybody else.

My strongest impression of the book __The Outsiders__ was that one event can turn your whole life around. If Johnny hadn't killed Bob, he and Ponyboy wouldn't have run away. If they hadn't run away they wouldn't have saved the kids. If they hadn't saved the kids Johnny wouldn't have died. In the beginning of the book, I had no idea Johnny was going to die. I felt sorry for Johnny from the beginning. His parents beat him and the only people he could rely on were his friends. These are basically the impressions I have of the book __The Outsiders__.

"My strongest impression about the book __The Outsiders__ was that this could be the meaning to life. This is what could happen in the future of our lives. Another thing that hit me is how many of the events that occured in the book had happened to me."-vezon87

"The significance of __The Outsiders__ is so strong that it could very well influence the lives of maybe 80% of the people that read it. It is so extraordinary in the way that S. E. Hinton found events that relate to almost everybody's lives."-dragono193
