Sodapop Monologue
Sodapop was giving Darry a back-rub.
Me and Darry just didn’t dig each other.
He never hollered at Sodapop
Leave my kid brother alone
Darry did care for me
Life is rough all over
Ponyboy you’ve scared me to death
I had taken the long way around, but I was finally home
No rough stuff, little buddy.
He would always listen to me, no matter what he was doing
I’m the middleman in a tug o’ war
I can’t hold any longer
He had given up a lot for Soda and me
Things should have gotten better, not worst
I guess we all just wanted to stay together

    The Glass Castle Monologue

    One day I got a text from my dad saying he wanted a tattoo of Tammy’s name on his chest. I told him constantly how stupid he was for even contemplating doing this. After we had a discussion and I thought I talked him out of it, but he proceeded to make his devil woman happy. I didn’t talk to him for about a month after that; I was livid. He finally got me to come back over, and that is when everything got worse. All of the people started treating me like dirt and it seemed like Tammy wanted me gone for good. She tried to get my dad to take my name out of his will and put her in it instead. She was confused when he said no to her ridiculous idea. He finally came to his senses and cut her off. We thought they would be out in a number of days.…

    Summary Of The Book 'The Outsiders' By S. E. Hinton

    In the beginning of the story Dally and Ponyboy didn't get along the best. But throughout the story they became closer. Dally’s death happened right after he stole from the store. The cops showed up and circled around Dally under a street light. Dally soon pulled out a gun and acted like it was loaded but it really wasn't. How would the cops know that? They did not know that. After the cops told Dally to put the gun down multiple times and Dally still wouldn't do it so they shot him. Ponyboy took this really hard because him and Dally had gotten very close. Also dally had helped Ponyboy and Johnny out whenever they needed something. So I think that Ponyboy was really mad because he didn't stop it from happening. Also now Ponyboy is dealing with two deaths of his very good friends. “I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted” said Ponyboy (Hinton…

    Well he does show it but keeps it to himself and doesn’t share these feelings with anyone but Sodapop. Ponyboy even told Sodapop “Darry doesn't love me” Sodapop said “yes he does but he is just not really good at showing it” and it was true Darry did not show how much he loved Ponyboy till when Johnny died.

    Darry And Soda

    Darry and Soda had different points of view on how to interact with their brother Ponyboy. On page 2, the books states, “Soda’s never hollering at me all the time the way Darry is, or treating me as if I am six instead of fourteen.” From this quote, the reader is told that Darry treats Ponyboy differently than Soda. It can be inferred that Darry is more strict with Ponyboy while Soda may not be as strict. On the other hand, “Soda’s always happy-go-lucky and grinning, while Darry’s hard and firm and rarely grins at all.” (The Outsiders, pg. 2) This quote shows another example of how Soda is different from Darry because it shows Soda being more joyful and relaxed, but Darry is more stern and not warm. Furthermore, the way both brothers treat Ponyboy demonstrates Hinton’s theme that family is there to support each other at all times because both brothers clearly care about Pony but show it in different…

    Sodapop - the Outsiders

    In S.E Hinton's novel, The Outsiders, there are many themes represented in the book, but one of the main themes is social ostracism, or the conflict between the economic classes. There are two rival gangs within The Outsiders: the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs represent the upper class while the Greasers represent the lower class. The Socs, "jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next." The Greasers, who are on the low social economic side, "steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while." The conflict between the rich and the poor goes even further than economics and goes to values too. This is said through Cherry, herself a member of the Socs. "You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated—cool to the point of not feeling anything." As you can see, these two groups are divided by these differences. In this conflict of this gang, there is Sodapop Curtis, a greaser. Ponyboy’s happy-go-lucky, handsome "movie-star good looking" brother. Sodapop is 16 years old and the middle Curtis boy of the family. Ponyboy envies Sodapop’s good looks and charm. His best friend is Steve Randle, has been his best friend since grade school. Sodapop plans to marry Sandy, a greaser girl. His two brothers, Darry and Ponyboy Curtis, who are also greasers. They are on the lower end of economics and they have to work very hard for money to keep up a house and support Ponyboy through school (Darry and Soda both quit). Sodapop gave up his education to work at a DX gas station and uses the money he makes (though not much) to support the family. As Sodapop is a greaser, he is a part of the conflict of the gangs, getting into fights/rumbles at times. In S.E Hinton's novel, The Outsiders,…

    The Outsiders Monologue

    Silence entered the air after I stepped out of my apartment complex. Slamming the door hard, I walked out of the building and started strutting down the sidewalk into town. Several arguments left the air after I stepped out into the cold, frosty morning of November in Tulsa, Oklahoma. My parents have been arguing for months now, and I can’t take it. I mean, they’re good parents and have given me a nice place and all, but they always are getting drunk and argue all the time. I’ve tried to leave home multiple times but I always end up winding back. I poked at my shaggy, greased blonde hair. I’m a labeled greaser and belong to Tim Shepard’s gang. I mean they’re fun and all, but sometimes I can’t stand them. They watch out for me, we’re buddies, but they’re always drunk and wound up in fights all the time. It’s just like at home, but with the gang I feel more like they’re not gonna leave me.…
