break you up.
Conflict and Resolution
Conflict-The conflict of the

.
The Outsiders was a very
good book in my opinion. It
showed how the life of a
hood is. It actually made
me feel like I was in the
novel because it gave so
many descriptions. I just
think that it should have
had images so I could get a
better picture of the
settings. I learned that
being in a gang could have a
lot of consequences to
follow.
