The Outsiders Themes

Author’s Note: This is a response to talk about the theme of the book “The Outsiders”.
I think that the theme of the book is part tragedy, because the main character, Ponyboy is conflicted with the rest of the world. For example, he is poor, hangs around in a gang, and is an outsider just like everyone else in his gang. No one else in the world would talk to them or try to meet them because they picture them as people outside of everyone else.
This book can also be called tragedy because three people have died in this book. Making it have a more tragic and sad feel to it.
