Response Journal
To The Student
Although we may read a novel, play, or work of non-fiction for enjoyment,
each time we read one, we are building and practicing important basic reading
skills. In our ever-more complex society, in which reading has become more and
more crucial for success, this, in itself, is an important reason to spend time
reading for enjoyment.
Some readers, however, are able to go beyond basic reading techniques and
are able to practice higher thinking skills by reflecting on what they have read
and how what they read affects them. It is this act of reflection–that is, stopping
to think about what you are reading–that this journal is attempting to
encourage.
To aid you, we have included writing prompts for each section; however, if
you find something that you wish to respond to in the book more compelling
than our prompts, you should write about that. We hope you enjoy reading this
book and that the act of responding to what you have read increases this
enjoyment.
After you read the indicated sections, choose the questions to which you
will respond. Keep in mind that there are no right or wrong answers to these
prompts, and there is no one direction in which you must go.

The Outsiders
Chapter 1
1.
Ponyboy likes to go to the movies alone because he can really get into the
movie when there aren’t other people talking and fooling around. Have
you ever felt angry when people talk during a movie? What did you do?
2.
Do you know anyone like Ponyboy, who is different from the other
people in a group because he or she likes to read? Does he or she downplay any interest in reading when with the group?
3.
Ponyboy says Dallas grew up too fast, Sodapop never grew up at all, and
he doesn’t know which is best. What’s your opinion?
4.
Ponyboy states, “I could have gotten one of the gang to come along, one
of the four boys that Dallas, Soda, and I have grown up with and consider
family.” In your journal explain to a classmate how having close friends
can feel like “family” and relate it to your own experience.
5.
When Ponyboy speaks about his tight-knit neighborhood, it reminds me
of a comment the rapper, Ice Cube, made about the South Central L.A.
neighborhood where he grew up. He said that movies depict living there
as a grim existence, but there were a lot of good times in the neighborhood. How would you rate your neighborhood in this regard?
6.
Ponyboy says, “If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have
known what love and affection are.” Although you hear it said a great
deal, I find it difficult to believe that a gang provides a person what he or
she might not get at home. What’s your opinion?

Response Journal
7.
It’s clear why the greasers resent the Socs, but as Ponyboy asks, “Why did
they hate us so much? We left them alone.” Write the dialogue that takes
place between Ponyboy and a Soc when Ponyboy asks that question.
Ponyboy: Why do the Socs hate us?
Soc:
8.
“ ‘Hhhmmm.’ He sighed happily, ‘it’s real nice.’ ” This is the way Soda
describes being in love with Sandy. Consider a time in your life when you
felt you were in love; how did it make you feel?
Chapter 2
9.
Assume you have just met Ponyboy. Write a letter to your cousin
describing him. Include what you like about him, what you don’t like
about him, and why you would or would not want him to be your friend.
10.
Ponyboy describes Marcia and Cherry as not being “our kind.” Describe
an incident from your life in which someone considered you as not being
“our kind.” How did it make you feel? What, if anything, did you do to
change that situation?
11.
Cherry tells Ponyboy that the “West Side Socs” have “troubles you’ve
never even heard of.” Describe the possible Soc problems that Cherry is
referring to and contrast/compare them to a greaser’s problems. Do you
think one group has it worse than the other?
12.
At the end of chapter two, Ponyboy dismisses the Socs’ problems as being
confined to, “good grades, good cars, good girls, madras, and Mustangs
and Corvairs.” Assume you are a Soc; write a letter to Ponyboy explaining
why he is wrong. Do some research and explain what “madras” and
“Corvair” relate to.

The Outsiders
13.
Ponyboy seems to be prejudiced against greaser girls; he seems to see
mostly negative things about them and positive things about Soc girls.
Assume you are a greaser girl who looks the way Ponyboy describes.
Write a letter trying to get him to understand greaser girls and why they
look and act as they do.
14
The book presents stereotypical pictures of “greasers” and “Socs.”
Describe the picture presented of each group and, if you can, point out
why these portrayals are stereotypes.
Chapter 3
15.
Cherry says that the Socs always try to be cool and act like nothing makes
a difference to them. Maybe you know someone like that. Why do you
suppose people would want to act like that?
16.
Ponyboy says it’s not just money that separates the Socs from the greasers;
“it’s feelings—the Socs don’t feel anything and the greasers feel too
violently.” If you agree with this, give examples; if you don’t agree with it,
tell why you disagree.
17.
Cherry says that she and her middle-class friends are caught up in a rat
race of wanting possessions and never being satisfied with them when
they get them. What do you find right or wrong about that statement?
18.
Because Ponyboy feels he made a fool of himself in front of everyone with
his outburst, he turns on someone weaker than himself, Johnny, and
lashes out at him. Relate a time when you saw someone lash out at someone else who was weak simply because the first person was feeling foolish
or threatened.

Response Journal
19.
Speaking of the financial inequity in life, Ponyboy says, “It ain’t fair.”
Two-Bit says, “That’s the way things are, like it or lump it.” I suspect that
life won’t always be that way for Ponyboy, but it will be for Two-Bit. What
do you think?
20.
Although it is popular to say that opposites attract, many people do not
find it believable that Cherry could be attracted to Dallas. What do you
think?
21.
In chapter three, we learn that Ponyboy feels he and Dallas do not get
along. Assume you are Ponyboy and write a letter to Dallas explaining
what you think is wrong with your relationship and provide possible
solutions.
22.
As Ponyboy, respond in a dialogue to Cherry after she says:
Cherry: “I mean… if I see you in the hall at school or someplace and don’t
say hi, well, it’s not personal or anything, but…”
Ponyboy:
23.
Ponyboy runs out of the house after Dallas hits him. Do you have an
older brother or sister who is tough on you? If not, do you know someone that does? What kind of relationship exists between the siblings?
24.
Johnny says, “It seems like there’s gotta be someplace without greasers or
Socs, with just plain people.” Describe what this place would look like.

The Outsiders
Chapter 4
25.
Referring to Dallas, Ponyboy states, “It would be a miracle if Dallas could
love anything. The fight for self-preservation had hardened him beyond
caring.” Do you think a person could really be too hardened to love?
26.
Discuss how Johnny reacted the night he and Ponyboy were attacked by
the Socs. Would you have handled the situation differently? If so, how?
Chapter 5
27.
Early in chapter five, why is Ponyboy reluctant to have his hair cut? Why
it is so important to him? Is there anything in your appearance about
which you feel that strongly?
28.
Ponyboy recites Robert Frost’s poem, Nothing Gold Can Stay. If you
understand this poem and you can you relate it to the story, explain it to
a classmate who is having trouble seeing the meaning and relationship.
29.
Johnny thinks that Dallas is gallant because when he was arrested for
something Two-Bit had done, Dallas just took the sentence without
mentioning anything he knew. Some people would say Dallas was stupid
for going to jail for something Two-Bit had done. What’s your opinion?

Chapter 6
30.
When she is acting as a spy for the greasers, do you think Cherry is doing
the right thing? Is it something you would do under the same circumstances?
31.
Johnny considers turning himself in to the police. If you had been there
and he asked for your opinion, what would you say?
Johnny: “What should I do?”
You:
Chapter 7
32.
Randy tells Ponyboy, “You can’t win, even if you whip us, you’ll still be
where you were before—at the bottom. And we’ll still be the lucky ones
with all the breaks.” Assuming that Randy is correct, why is the rumble
so important to the greasers?
33.
What is Randy’s dilemma about the rumble that night? What would you
say to Randy if he asked you for advice?
34.
As a newspaper reporter, write an article about Johnny and Ponyboy
saving the children from the burning church.
35.
Randy’s friend Bob was kind of wild, and Randy seems to be blaming
Bob’s parents because they never set limits on Bob. According to Randy,
that’s what Bob wanted. With how much of what Randy said can you
agree?
11

The Outsiders
36.
Imagine you’re an advice columnist from a newspaper, and you get a
letter from Sodapop explaining the problem he and Sandy are having.
What advice would you give him?
37.
An epiphany is defined as the moment when a character in a novel gets a
sudden insight into life and living. What is the epiphany that Ponyboy
gets at the end of this chapter, and how does he come to that conclusion?
38.
If at this point in your reading, you had an opportunity to talk to the
writer of this novel, what would you say about the novel, or what
questions would you ask?
39.
As a newspaper editor of a Tulsa paper, write an editorial about last night’s
killing in the park of a young man by another young man.
40.
A producer for a TV talk show reads the editorial that you write and
invites the Socs and greasers to send representatives to the show to talk
about the problem. Write a scenario which identifies the interviewer, the
kind of questions he or she asks, which of the Socs and greasers are
present, and the dialogue on stage.
Chapter 8
41.
While in the hospital, Johnny refuses a visit from his mother. Assume
you are Johnny’s mother, and write a letter to Johnny telling him how you
feel about his refusal to see you. As Johnny, write a letter back to your
mother telling her why.
42.
Dallas says, “We gotta get even with the Socs, for Johnny.” Is this something you would do for your friend? If you disagree with Dallas’ thinking
on this point, tell him why you think he is wrong.

Response Journal
43.
Two-Bit states, “The only thing that keeps Dally from bein’ a Soc is us.”
What is there about Dallas that leads Two-Bit to make that statement?
44.
What do you suppose the talk about sunsets means at the end of this
chapter? How do you feel about sunsets?
45.
If it follows that we like people when we get to know them better, does it
mean all people have a good side to them once we get to know them? If
that’s true, would we like almost anyone once we got to know him or her?
Chapter 9
46.
Ponyboy asks what kind of a world is it where you’re proud of being a
hood with greasy hair. This question shows he recognizes that these are
dumb things to be proud of. You probably know people who are proud of
foolish things. Why do you suppose people are like that?
47.
About fighting, Ponyboy says: Soda fought for fun; Steve for hatred;
Dallas for pride; Two-Bit to conform. Ponyboy concludes, “There isn’t any
real good reason for fighting except self-defense.” What’s you opinion on
this?
48.
After looking at the hoods, who would just become older hoods, Ponyboy
says of Dallas, “He was going to get somewhere.” He adds that neither he
nor Dallas will live in a lousy neighborhood all their lives. He makes it
sound as if getting ahead is simply a matter of determination. How true
do you think that is?
13

The Outsiders
49.
Ponyboy speaks of the Socs and the greasers as hating each other, but, the
word “hate” is somewhat of an exaggeration. How would you describe
the social-class differences in your community?
50.
Johnny makes a reference to the Robert Frost poem Nothing Gold Can
Stay when he says, “Stay gold Ponyboy...stay gold.” If you understand
what Johnny is telling Ponyboy, explain it to a classmate who doesn’t get
it.
Chapter 10
51.
What was your opinion of Dallas’ actions in this chapter? Some people
think it was quite dramatic, while others criticized it. How did you feel
about it?
52.
Throughout the story, the greasers are portrayed as decent kids, who
occasionally get into trouble, while the Socs are bad kids who always get
into trouble. Is this a fair representation of the two groups? Do you think
the author’s sympathies lie with one group?
53.
Consider the author’s point of view and discuss whether you think the
author grew up a greaser or a Soc. Provide examples which support your
point.
54.
The Outsiders deals with the trials and tribulations of growing up.
Consider where you are in your life and discuss whether or not you feel
this book accurately portrays adolescents. How are their problems the
same as the one you and your friends have; how are they different?

Chapters 11 and 12
55.
Early in chapter twelve, Soda runs out of the house because Dallas and
Ponyboy are arguing. Later, Soda tells the two that he feels he gets caught
in the middle and that their arguments are tearing the family apart. Has
there been an incident in which you may have been caught in the middle
and were forced to choose sides? How did you deal with it?
Wrap Up
56.
The gang fight in the park and the earlier stabbing death, particularly
since it took place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and not Chicago, Los Angeles, or
New York City, might attract the attention of a news magazine show like
60 Minutes. Choose a show of this type and write a scenario. Include the
name of the interviewer, the person he or she interviews, the scenes and
locations televised, and the opening and closing editorial comments of
the interviewer.
57.
What did you think was done well or not so well in this novel?
58.
If you were in a one-on-one conversation with the author, what would
you say?
59.
When you read the short biography of the author at the end of the novel,
were you surprised by anything?
60.
When you read the last page of this novel, what were your thoughts
and/or feelings?
15

The Outsiders
61.
Many novels that have young people as the main characters are in the
Coming of Age genre. The term indicates that in the course of the novel,
the character moves from immaturity to maturity. In what ways do you
think The Outsiders would fit this description?
62.
Sometimes when a novel ends, we are sorry because we wish to spend
more time with the characters who we’ve come to know well. In a sequel
to this novel, tell what you think happens to Ponyboy, Sodapop, and
Dallas in the next ten years of their lives.

UNIT identifies scholarly objectives and poses questions designed to develop mastery of those objectives. Our multiple choice/essay tests are also constructed to test for those objectives. Because our mission is to write materials that
will enable the student who uses the unit to go on and read more literature with
more understanding, we include no puzzles, no word-find games, no extensive
