Mikayla's and Theresa's paragraph
There was many moral of the story, but the main moral was how your social status doesn't define how you are. For example in the beginning of the book,PonyBoy was ashamed of being a greaser and he didn't want to share who he was and he was afraid that his friends would laugh at him. Towards the middle of the book he started to realize who he was and started to open up. For example he made a friend even though she was a socs and he was a greaser. Despite the conflict between the two groups they managed to overcome it and be friends. Near the end he finally realized that it doesn't matter what they think of you and what friendship truly is. Like when the brothers, (Darry, SodaPop and PonyBoy) learnt to accept each other despite the differences in personality. In the end the whole moral of the story is who you are in the inside not what you are "labeled". Just because someone says your a "cool", nerd or jock or any other stereo type doesn't mean that that's who you have to be. Just be who you are and people will accept you.

The Outsiders: Moral of the story
IThere were many different morals in the story.One was even when everyone says you can't be friends and that your social group hates the other, doesn't mean you can't get along.A good sample of this is Cherry and Pony. She was a Soc and he was a greaser. Despite the stereotype people gave the two groups, and how they never got along, Cherry and Pony over came it.I also think that a big lesson is that you social status doesn't necessarily define who you are. Just because someone classifies you under a certain status doesn't mean you have to fit in it. An example of this is Ponyboy. Even though he was a greaser, he didn't fit the typical description of a greaser. Unlike how other people saw them,greasy,unintelligent,rude rowdy,loud, Ponyboy was different. Ponyboy liked watching sunsets and got good grades in school, and he could never hurt anyone.the outsiders taught a really great lesson, that stereotypes don't define you. Just because someone says your a "cool", nerd or jock or any other stereo type doesn't mean that that's who you have to be. Just be who you are and people will accept you.
