The Outsiders final essay post

Please read the following prompt thoroughly and be sure to respond to all of the questions asked of you. Please respond to this question using the same short essay format we used for the Night John essay. Your response should include a topic sentence, at least three supporting details, and a concluding sentence. This essay should be proofread and spell checked before you post! Please be sure to include specific examples from the text. Show me that you read. Remember this is part of your test. Take this assignment seriously; it is worth 30 points of your test!


"Sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn" (p. 122). Discuss this quote from the novel and how it applies to one of the greaser's lives. What things did he learn? What things might he have liked to learn? Support your ideas with what you know about the character through examples from the novel.



Good luck,

Ms. Paulson
