We real Outsiders

I read the poem We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks. When I read the poem for the first time I was in shocked of how the little lines in the poem can connected to the characters so much in the The Outsiders.In the text “We lurk late” in We Real Cool reminds me of how it connected to the socs because they are always look for a fight especially with any greaser they come upon on. Just because the socs are more high class the Socs think that the Greaser should not be walking around since they poor but not so poor to have clothes on their back. As we need more evidence of why the book the outsiders and the poem We Real Cool has a part in the poem that’s say “We die soon”this goes with the outsiders so good because it reminds me of  Johnny how he died by a 3 degree burn and he was only 16. He wanted to live longer even though his mom does not pay attention to him and his dad hits him he know he is still loved by many greaser cause they have each other’s back. Also as we are talking about Johnny his good buddy name Dally and you might be wondering why I brought him up because Dally and Johnny had a bond like no other greaser had with each other. So Dally saw how Johnny died and all of a sudden he starting to act crazy and because all of his mixed emotions he was doing thing that he was not supposed to do like he’d almost shot a store clerk and he did not listen to the police when they said to go do on his knees. He refused and that is when he got shot. Both text go together because they have so much in common as you wouldn’t think. As you read the outsiders you might like it or  you might have not but no matter the poem goes with the book as like peanuts and peanut butter because they might be in different forms but still have a lot in common.
