The Outsider: A Short Story

The shell was ejected out the barrel of the weapon, spinning in midair. Lead sliced through the sky, darting towards its target. A faint white tracer followed along the bullet. Quickly, the bullet hit the green and blue barrels. A spark erupted, which soon turned into a blazing flower of fire. It rose into the sky like an angry god, yelling its thunderous roar. A silent killer, the shockwave, swiped out of truck and into the surrounding vicinity. Guards flew backwards onto the asphalt, screaming all the way.

The outsiders is an good book it starts off with a kid named ponyboy who is what they call an greaser which is a person who doesn't have an whole lot of money and watches out for the socs.

His Grace had never been like this, had never scoured every nerve inside his vessel as it grew, it had always been warm, been comforting even in the most desperate of times and yet now. Why? Gabriel let his fingers brush over the heated wax, letting it conform to his fingertips before he pulled them back and watched it quickly dry. Pale nubs sat top his index and middle finger, twisting them slowly back and forth as he studied it before her voice caught him off guard. The wax was easily discarded, pulled off and set back at the base of the candle as he turned, almost uneasy at the fact that he hadn’t realized she woken up sooner.

I believe the Outsiders are representation sped up by the greasers like Ponyboy, Dally, Soda, and the others. They are extracted from others and are people that don’t fit in with the crowd.

An outsider is defined as “a person who does not belong to a particular group.” In the book, The Outsiders, many of the characters can be described as being an outcast from the social society.

The storm continued to vent its temperamental rage on the earth and its people. What an outsider would consider 'nice weather' was completely unheard of. This was the regular routine of the weather, and no one seemed to mind it.
