What is missing from the following short response:
One possible theme in The Outsiders is everyone has their own problems. On page 98, the text states, “’I’m sick of all this. Sick and tired. Bob was a good guy. He was the best buddy a guy ever had. I mean, he was a good fighter and tuff and everything, but he was a real person too.’” This shows that even the people you think have nothing to worry about, or have no emotions are human too. Everyone has their own problems, even if you don’t see it. On page 11, it says “His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him, except when she was hacked off at something, and then you could hear her yelling at him clear down at our house.” This validates that everyone has their own lives, such as Johnny Cade, who is beat at home. As evidence shows, people such as Johnny and Randy have such different problems, some problems you wouldn’t even realize. Everyone has their own hidden problems.
