While we have no direct evidence that S.E. Hinton drew inspiration from Shakespeare, a comparison between the gangs can certainly be made.
In an argumentative essay, make a case that S.E. Hinton drew on Romeo and Juliet to craft the rivalries and setting for The Outsiders. How does
she draw on themes, patterns of events, or character types from Shakespeare's play? How does she render the situation for a new time period?

In the story The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton, there are two rival groups/ gangs, the greasers and the Socs. A young boy named Ponyboy explained his journey being a greaser and the sacrifices, consequences, and decisions he had to manage with. This story reminds me of William Shakespeare's story Romeo and Juliet of their similarities which are they gangs, fights, and loyalty and differences that are the wealthiness, behaviors, and between the two books.

One of the similarities of the two books is the groups/ gangs, because in Romeo and Juliet there are the Montague and Capulets and in The Outsiders there are the greasers and the Socs. They are both enemies and try to sabotage and fight each other when every they have the chance to. Secondly, in one scene Johnny (greaser) kills Bob (Socs) because the Socs were going to drown Ponyboy and beat Johnny, so he took his pocket knife and stabbed him. Just like Romeo…show more content…
But the Socs are rich, while the greaser are poor and some don’t even have a good education because a couple dropped out of school to work and or they didn’t like school. Then the attitudes of the characters because in The Outsiders they have to act tough and mean no emotion towards the Socs showing that they are the alpha of the streets. But in Romeo and Juliet the groups they cannot fight around or in the houses of the very upper class families or else the family will be blamed for the death of whomever. The behaviors between the two books is very different. The characters in the Outside the have less manners because none of them respect each other at all because when they have the chance the gangs will strike like cobras brainless PLSS!

Answer:In Romeo and Juliet, there are the Montagues and Capulets, and in The Outsiders, there are the greasers and the Socs. This is one of the parallels between the two stories. They both strive to undermine and fight each other whenever they have the chance since they are adversaries. Second, in one scene, Johnny (the greaser) stabs Bob (the Socs) to death because they were about to drown Ponyboy and beat Johnny. Johnny did this because he had a pocketknife. Like Romeo...additional material. However, the Socs are wealthy, while the greasers are impoverished and some of them lack even a good education as a result of a few people quitting school to work or because they didn't enjoy it. The characters' attitudes are also important since they must portray a strong exterior and show no sign of emotion when speaking to the Socs in The Outsiders to establish their dominance over the neighborhood. However, in Romeo and Juliet, groups are forbidden from fighting, either outside or within the homes of particularly wealthy families, for fear that the family would be held responsible for whoever dies. The two novels' actions are significantly unlike from one another. The characters in "The Outsiders" are less polite since they have little respect for one another and when given the chance, the gangs strike with cobra-like efficiency.PLEASE GIVE ME BRAINLIEST
