The Outsiders Preferences

The Outsiders

Each day you answer one question for 30 days starting with the first one!

So instead of doing one question everyday, I'm gunna do it in one chapter. So yeah...

1. How’d you first discover the Outsiders? If you had to read it for a class, in what grade? 
I had to read it for a class in the 8th grade. I loved it when I finished reading it

2. How many times have you read the book? 
A gajillion times. I still end up crying in the end

3. Favorite quote from the book? 
"You'd better wise up, Pony... you get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you..."

4. If you could write a sequel to the book, what’s the first thing you’d write about? 
I'm not really sure, but I'd mention some other characters, like Steve, Two-Bit, Sandy, Sylvia, Evie, Cherry, Randy, the Shepard's

5. Favorite part in the book? 
My favorite part in the book was the rumble part

6. Least favorite part in the book? 
I don't have a least favorite part

7. If you could change anything from the book, would you and why? 
I think everyone would say they would change the deaths that occured

8. Greaser, Soc or Middle Class; and why? 
Greaser. I'm super poor anyway, so yeah. I know how it feels. And I have feelings.

9. Do you really think the Socs are that bad? Or do you think everyone’s pretty much the same? 
I guess not all Socs are bad. But emotionally, they're all the same.

10. Favorite character and why? 
Dallas. He's not cold hearted like he seems

11. Least favourite character and why? 
I don't have a least favorite character. All of them have  a good in them.

12. If you could be any of the characters for a day. Who would you be and why? 
I'd be Cherry. I would really like to know how she lives. Or Sandy

13. If you could change one thing other than Dallas and Johnny’s deaths? What would it be? 
I'd change the time Johnny was jumped by Bob

14. How many times have you seen the movie? 
Like five times

15 Do you think the movie lives up to the book? 
Not completely, but sure

16. Do you think they chose the right actors to play the characters? 
Hell yeah

17. Are there any parts you think that should have been added to the movie? 
They should've added the part where Randy visits the Curtis' house.

18. Are there any things you think they should have left out? 
Not really

19 Which actor do you think portrayed their character the best? 
Ralph Macchio and Matt Dillon. Well all of them.

20. Favorite scene from the movie? 
The drive-in scene, with Cherry and Marcia

21. What do you personally think, “Stay Gold” means? 
I guess it means to stay young and precious and just stay the way you are.

22. Do you think you’ll “stay gold”? 
Heh no...well...maybe

23. If you could have one of the characters as a sibling, which one would it be? 
Stevie!!!!!!

24. Are you attracted to any of the characters strictly based on the book? If yes, which one and why? 
Dallas. I'm attracted to him either way. Don't care.

25. Did you see movie or read the book first? 
The book!

26. Do you think they should remake it? Why or why not? If yes, how do you envision it? 
No. Remakes turn out stupid

27. What do you think greaser girls are like? Would you wanna be one? Or would you rather be a nice Soc? 
Well, I'm pretty sure not all greaser girls are the same. Apparently greaser girls, wear a lot of eye makeup and wear dresses at a decent length. I guess some of them can be really rude and indecent and others can be really nice

28. Why do you think the Outsiders relates to so many people? 
It's basically about the life of teenagers and pretty sure most of us could relate to what they do even if we're both in completely different eras

29. If S.E. Hinton could give you details on one thing in the story you’ve always wondered, what would you ask her? 
Sandy, Sylvia, Evie, Steve and basically the background of the characters that we barely know

30. Why do you love the Outsiders so much? Why and how do you relate to it?
I guess I love it because it taught me that not everybody is how they seem. I relate to it a lot, especially the characters. I relate to Darry because I am the oldest sibling, like him and I worry a lot about my sister even when I really want to punch her in the face. I relate to Steve because I hate my father, like him and I have an interest in cars as well. I relate to Pony because I love books and movies. I relate to Johnny because I too was abused (don't worry it's over) and I'm traumatized for what happened to me. I relate to Soda because even though I may be happy some days, I can be crying on the inside and I do feel like the middle person sometimes between my friends (and i mean if my friends are enemies).
