1. Why does the theme of being an outsider connect with teens today?

2. How would The Outsiders be different if the author had used third-person omniscient point of view?

3. If you wanted to write about an event in a novel from a character’s perspective who isn’t the narrator, where would you find information to help you present an accurate view of that event as seen through the character’s eyes?

4. How do authors use symbols to relate to other literary elements in a novel, such as themes, characters, plot sequences, and settings?

5. How does the setting of the drive-in movie theater in chapter 2 of The Outsiders, as well as the characters of Cherry and Marcia, help develop the character of Ponyboy.

1. i don't know what it is that you had to read but i would say that the theme of being an outsider connects with a large portion of teens today because that's exactly how they feel, like an outsider, like someone who will never or can never fit in with everyone else.

2. it most likely wouldn't have had the thoughts and feelings that you would receive if written in 1 person.

3. you would probably want to use a diary or theirs or something of that sort or maybe a timeline perhaps.

4. to help advance the plot because it would be kind of flat and plain without them.
