In a detailed paragraph, identify what you believe to be the primary conflict in
The Outsiders
, and use details from the text to elaborate on your ideas and support your position. Please use the formality, detail and elaboration that would be expected in the body paragraph of an essay.
I believe, the primary conflict of the book, The Outsiders, is Man Vs. Society. This is supported by The "Man" representing the Greasers, and "Society" representing the "Soc's."(Is that how u spell it?) This is because mostly every conflict in the book, if you backtrack, comes back to this conflict. Ex. Ponyboy and Johnny fleeing Tulsa. if you backtrack the conflict, it goes back to the Soc's attacking them. Then, to Darry hitting Ponyboy. Then, to Ponyboy and Johnny sleeping in the lot. But, backtracking that, it goes back to them meeting Cherry (Sheeri) and Marsha. (Soc's in a different kind of way.) who were at the movies becuase they were on a date with their boyfriends. (Which are the Soc's that fight the Greasers.) From that, It was backtracked, to the (believed) primary conflict, Man Vs. Society. (Greasers Vs. Soc's)
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict if The Outsiders is man vs. man. The primary reason is because of the Greasers' rivalry with the Socs. This is because the Socs think they're better than the Greasers (which is true in a lot of ways). Another way is that the gangs just keep fighting and fighting and fighting again. Also, (which may indicate some kind of massive grow in hate between the two) a Greaser (Johnny) killed a Soc (whose name I forget, but Johnny describes him as, and I quote, "the handsome Soc") because the Socs almost drowned Ponyboy.
ReplyDeleteCharacters face conflicts in books. This has been true since the first book ever was published. What is the primary conflict in The Outsiders? I believe the conflict is man vs. man because the Greasers are constantly in a dispute with the Socs. There are so many differences between the two gangs and they're always getting into fights. Looking at all of the problems the two groups face with each other, lead me to assume that the primary conflict is man vs. man.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the primary conflict in The Outsiders is right now is Ponyboy and Johnny hiding from the cops. Soon the killing of Bob (soc) will be on the front cover of the news paper.When Johnny killed Bob Pony and Johnny went right to Dally because,they felt like he was the only person that they could tell about Johnny killing Bob. Now they are on the run hiding from the cops trying not to get caught. Dally gave them both guns and $60.00 to buy food.So for now they have to hide in a abandoned church on Jay Mountain until Dally gets to them at the church.So the primary conflict is a matter of life or death. They live if they don't get caught by the cops.They die if they do get caught by the cops.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "The Outsiders" i think the main conflict is to find out why darry is so mean to ponyboy and no one else. The reason i say that is because he keeps mentioning that in the story and now johhny and ponyboy are running away because they got hit by their supieriors.
ReplyDeleteIn "The Outsiders", there are many conflicts throughout the plot that affect the characters and the story itself. However, only one of those conflicts is the primary conflict. I think that the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is the rivalry between the Socs and the Greasers, and how they want to be similar groups of people. For example, Ponyboy went ranting on about how he wishes that the Greasers got the same treatment as the Socs, and wish they (the Greasers) had what the Socs had in chapter 3. Also, the frequent mentioning of "the sunset" symbolizes the similarities between the groups, and how they should get along. Another example is that Johnny killed one of the Socs in chapter 4, and that forced Johnny and Ponyboy to run away from home completely in chapters 4 and 5. The fact that Johnny killed a Soc is probably because of the fear they put into him when he was a bit younger (as mentioned in Chapter 1), and the fact that Johnny was there for Ponyboy. Generally, I would say that based on these examples, the conflict is mainly a Man VS. Man conflict about the differences between the Greasers and the Socs.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict is Man vs. Society because back in Johnny and Ponyboy's hometown, people will start noticing they are gone and that a Soc, named Bob, is dead. The police will start trying the two boys because the other Soc's will tell the police who killed Bob. I do not they think they will be caught though because they are so far away from home.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in the Outsiders, is that the socs are always jumping and trying to hurt or even kill the greasers. For example, Ponyboy was walking home from the movie theatres alone. A group of socs jumped out of their car and almost sliced Ponyboys' neck! Luckily Sodapop, and Darry saved him on time. Also a socs almost drowned Ponyboy at the park. Johnny was forced to kill a socs to save his best friend. As you can see, the primary conflict is that the Greasers (especially when their alone) are always on edge because of the socs. They have to always be careful, and can never really relax with the socs around.
ReplyDeleteI belive the main idea of the text is that Johnny killed Bob. I think that because now Johnny and Pony are on the run, going on the train and staying in a abandoned church until Dallie comes to maybe save them, which could take a long time, concider Dallies character in the book.I also think this is the main conflict because it will conpletly change Johnny, Pony, and maybe even Dallie. It will change Johnny because he was quiet and didn't talk much and now he has to be tough and keep his cool to not give himself away. It will change Pony because he is a smart and kind friendly teenager, and now he is turned into a criminal on the run, this could make him more stone cold like Dallie. Dallie could possible change by becoming softer, because he is going to help Johnny and Pony not get caught, and express his care for them more often.

The main conflict of the outsiders, I think, is Johnny killing the socs member. I think this because without johnny killing him, they would have no reason to hide. Darry may have hit Ponyboy, but Ponyboy would've went back sooner or later. Now, with the "fuzz" chasing them, they have to stay in cognito. that is why I think Johnny killing the socs member is the main conflict so far in the story
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in The Outsiders is the socs and the greasers. Their conflict is that the socs (who are the richer people on the west side) are always coming around the east side (where the greasers live) just to jump the greasers for fun. Right now in The Outsiders is that Johnny killed Bob (a soc and Cherrys boyfriend)for self defence and now Johnny is taking all this emotional pain seriously and will never forget himself for doing that.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict is the fact that the Greasers are poor and keep getting picked on by the Soces.For an example Johney is just walking and the Soces jumped him,he was almost beaten to death.The fact that Johney has a enough problems with his parents beating him.The primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is that the Soces and Greasers just dont get along. So the main conflict is Man vs Man.
ReplyDeleteWhat I believe that is a main conflict is: Ponny Boy and Johnny are running away from the police because Johnny killed one of the soc to protect his friend Ponny Boy from getting drowned by the socs and the police are now going after Ponny Boy and Johnny so they fled to Oklahoma for protection.
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict that the main charactor has in the book named 'The Outsiders'is that there is a charactor named PonyBoy he has a Men vs society conflict. Beacause the main charactor has to deal with the people that are around him think that since he is a greaser he is a bad person and also the other greasers in the house that they live in.
ReplyDeleteI believe the primary conflict in The Outsiders is the connection between the Socs and the Greasers.The Socs and the Greasers are completely different in many ways and they fight. I believe this is the primary conflict because they're constantly fighting with eachother, they even plan days when they're going to fight. For example, Johnny was beaten up by the five Socs. Also Ponyboy and Johnny were at the movies with Sherri (Cherry) and Marsha the Socs came along and they were saying bad things about the Greasers. Even when Dally came to see how Ponyboy and Johnny were doing at the abandond church he had said that the next day the Socs and Greasers were going to fight.This is Man VS Man because they're phisicaly fighting.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in The Outsiders is that the two gangs are going against each other because the Socs beat Johnny so badly and the Greasers are fighting back. Also because the gangs live on different parts of the town and the conflict is man vs society because Johnny killed one of the Socs because no one was going to beat him up not over his dead body ,so now the rest of the Socs want a war with the Greasers.
ReplyDeleteI belive that the main conflict is that ponys boy life as a greeser in the ghetto he faces socs and many challenges like the death of his parents and and how they have trouble making ends meet.
ReplyDeleteIn the novel THE OUTSIDERS, the story contains a primary conflict. This primary conflict is man vs. society. The primary conflict is man vs. society because Ponyboy Curtis (the main character and the narrator of the novel) faces the gang called the "Socs". The "Socs" are the rich class people from the west-side who jump the "Greasers" just because they have nothing else to do. "Greasers" are the gang that is like hoods that live in the east-side. Ponyboy Curtis is the member of the "Greasers" and he had been jumped by the "Socs". The proof of the conflict is that the two gangs fight eachother. Another piece of proof is that the "Socs" are after the "Greasers" because one of the "Greasers" had killed a "Socs" whos name was Bob. Now the rest of the "Socs" are trying to get the "Greasers" that were there when Bob was killed, Ponyboy and Johnny. Johnny had happened to be the one who killed Bob in self defense. Now Ponyboy and Johnny are running away from the "Socs" and the police.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is that the greasers and the socs dont get along. The socs always mug the greasers, but the last time the socs mugged them one of the main socs, Bob dies because Johnny knifed him. The main comnflict is man vs man.
ReplyDeleteI belive that the primary conflict in the OUTSIDERS is MAN VS SOCIETY. The Socs represent society. I think that because Ponyboy & the gang (Greasers) are always being beat up by the Socs. I also think that because not only the Socs would treat them in a bad way some girls would also treat them like they were some bad guys. Then when they went to the drive through movie theater Ponyboy stood up for for the two girls Cherry and Marcia when Two-bit was picking on them. That is why I think the conflict of the OUTSIDERS is man vs society.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the primary conflict in The Outsiders is man vs. man. I think this because the Greasers are always getting beat up by Socs. For example, when Johnny and Pony ran away a Soc was drownding Pony, and Johnny killed another.
ReplyDeleteI bolive that the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is self defense.I bolive is self defense because in "The Outsiders" gangs abuse people Physically just to overcome their problems.For example the Socs jumped johnny realy bad,since johnny says that he wont get beaten over his dead body.In chapter four the Socs were about to beat Poney boy but johnney's emotions got him to a point where he killed one of the socs,that was gonno jump Poney boy,therefore I bolive and predicted that the primary conflict is self defense.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is the war between the greasers and the socs. Another conflict in the book is ponyboys parents dieing in a aoutomotive acidient. Another conflict in the book is Johnny's parent neglecting him.
ReplyDeleteIn the novel The Outsiders, I believe that the primary conflict is man vs. society. Pony is facing a conflict with society (the socs). Pony Boy is always having to worry about socs jumping him. I think that Pony being a greaser and and Cherry being a soc is an example of the boundry of wealth between the two groups.Pony realy likes her but she's a soc and if her boyfriend finds out about him Pony will be killed. I think the conflict Pony is facing is him wanting to destroy the boundry between soc and greaser.

According to the text I presume that the primary conflict of the novel " The Outsiders" is Man vs. Society. I believe that this is the conflict because the gang is being discriminated against by people who judge them on their looks and average stereotypes. Some details that support this idea is that the greasers outfits, i.e the leather jacket and blue jeans, often make people afraid of them or avoid them. This supports the conflict by giving the greasers a hard time trying to prove themselves to society that they arent arrogant gangsters. Another deatail that supports the conflict of Man vrs. Society is that society thinks they are "greasers" who get into fights. While the truth is that the soc's are the ones who are usualy provoking the gang. As you can see there are many details that support this idea.
ReplyDeleteIn the story, The Outsiders, the primary conflict is that Pony boy and Johnny were the Greasers, and they got beat up by the Soshes.
ReplyDeleteThe Soshes were beating up Pony and Johnny and so Johnny syabed Bob, the leader.
The primary conflict is "man vs society" because that Johnny stabed Bob, they have to face the society.
The primary conflict is that the cops are looking for Ponyboy and Johnny because they ran away from home and they murdered a guy that was only 17-18. This conflict is a man vs. society because they are being looked for by the cops and thats a group. They have had more pain with this problem then others,They cried alot more then the other problems.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "The OUTSIDERS" Ponyboy and Johnny got into a fight with the soc and one of the soc was drowning Ponyboy so Johnny killed the soc because he said that nothing will happen to him over his dead body. When pony boy found out that Johnny killed him, they went to Dally for help. Ponyboy told Dally and Dally gave them a gun and some money so they can leave the town and go to somewhere else before the news goes out in the morning.Therefor this is a man vs. man conflict.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is man vs. society because of the war going on between the greasers and socks. There difference is money, different set of values, and emotions. They conflict with each other. It gets very serious because the socks jumped the innocent puppy eyed Johnny. So in return he killed one of the five socks. The reason its man vs. society and not man vs. man is because the main source is a gang which is society.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the main conflict in The Outsiders is man vs society. One reason that I think this is that the Greasers are sort of poor and all of the Socs are against them. The socs jump them and beat them up. The Greasers and the Socs are very different. Another reason I believe it's a man vs society is that Pony Boy and Johny are hiding from everyone because Johny killed a soc. They had to run away and hide from society in the country. Finally, when Pony Boy was talking about school, when people found out that he was a greaser, they would look down on him. Therefore, I draw the conclusion that the main conflict present at this point is man vs society.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in The Outsiders seems to be Man vs. society. The reason it is Man vs. Society is because Socs really hate the greasers. And Ponyboy is part of the greasers so he the "Man" in Man vs. Society, and the Socs are the "Society”. One way that shows that the Socs hate the greasers is that they beat up Johnny literally almost half to death. Furthermore reason that shows that the Socs hate the greasers is that they almost drowned Ponyboy.
ReplyDeleteIn the book the Outsiders, the primary conflict is that the cops are looking for Jonny and pony .I think this is the main conflict because, if the cops weren't looking the boys it would probably another normal day, Jonny Pony soda and diree would be playing football. Personal I think that would be very boring. The cop chasing Pony and Jonny adds that motive for the story to keep going. Without that the story would just become very dull and drone like.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in “The Outsiders” is the difference between the two gangs, the greasers and the socs. Why can’t they just live together in peace? The greasers are poor so the socs always pick on them which make the hatred take birth in the greaser’s heart, of course many other things make the hatred take birth in the greaser’s heart, but the socs are the main reason. The greasers are always left behind and sometimes beaten by the socs. Like one time the socs jumped Johnny Cade, a member of the greasers gang. Johnny got beaten up so bad that after that he carried a blade with him. (Johnny never ever had a blade with him he was very strong before he got beaten up.)
ReplyDeleteI believe that the primary conflict right now is that the church is burning down. Ponyboy believes he started the fire so it's making him feel guilty. This is also a conflict because there are childrentrapped inside the fire and Ponyboy has gone to save them with Jhonny. The last reason that this is the primary conflict is that Jhonny got trapped inside the burning church. This is why the church burning down is the primary conflict right now.
ReplyDeleteI believe the primary conflict in the book "The Outsider's" is that cliques and gangs create problems. For example Greasers fight with Socs and creates dangerous events. Another example is that rich cliques dominate over poor gangs. It's a primary conflict because it is non-ending. Another example is when Johnny killed a Soc the cliques kept on fighting. Another reason it's a big conflict is if the two groups cross it causes conflictions. For showing when Cherry Valens was hanging out with Pony she said her click would'nt allow interaction for it causes danger. That's why I feel cliques are the primary conflict in the book "The Outsiders"
ReplyDeleteThe main conflict in "The Outsider's" would be not fitting in with each other. One of my main reason would be "The Greasers" and "The Socs." dont get along. If they all would get along then their life wouldn't be as hard as it is. Also You can never be safe if you are a greaser because the socs. would be watching you at all time. Many people are hard on the greasers then anybody else.If the greasers and the socs. would get along then what happen to Johny wouldnt have happen. think this is the most important conflict through out the whole book.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "The Outsiders" I believe that the conflict is Man Vs. Society. I believe that the main conflict is Man vs. Society because Ponyboy and Johnny have to run away from society after they killed that Soc named Bob. The boys have felt the need to runaway because the society has never giving them the respect because they are greasers. The boys Johnny and Ponyboy even changed their hair because they didn’t want to look like themselves anymore or else they might go to jail. The boys know that if they do go to the police they wouldn’t have as much rights because of their appearances. The boys have to hide in the countryside in an old abandoned church since they are judge by society. At the time they are in an electric chair would be the punishment for anyone who has killed someone else. So since the boys wouldn’t be given the rights they should , they are forced to runaway from society.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "The Outsiders" I believe that the primary conflict is man vs. society. I believe that this is the conflict because Ponyboy and Johnny have to escape from the society because Johnny killed one of the Socs, Bob. The boys felt they had to runaway because society never gave the Greasers the respect that they deserve. Johnny and Ponyboy even cut eachother's hair and Ponyboy even bleached his with peroxide because they didn't want to look like themselves at all. These are some reasons why I think the main conflict is man vs.sociiety.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in the Outsiders(sorry i don't know how to underline here)is about how Ponyboy and Johnny are running away from society, therefore making it man vs. society. An example of this is the numerous times Ponyboy thought about what would happen if he and Johnny were caught by the police. Another example is that Johnny even cut both of their hair and even dyed Ponyboy's hair so the description of them would be different from them. This shows the importance on how the both of them can not get caught(this is important because a Greaser's hair shows who they are).

The main conflict in The Outsiders is the greasers and their rivalry with the socs. The rivalry leads to all of the problems. When Ponyboy and Cherry were walking to 2-bit's place, the only reason that they were worried of something happening was because of the risk of getting in a fight. Another example of this is when the huge problem came into play, which was Johnny killing the soc, Bob. Once they killed the soc they had to runaway to Windrecksville, and head for the church. The only reason why they ran, before the fuzz would show up, was that the socs were going to drown Ponyboy. This leads me to another example, Johnny. Poor old Johnny, all he did was being marked as a greaser, and as if the constant bickering with his mom, and beatings from his dad wasn't enough, he had to get jumped by the hellhound carrying, blue mustang. He had taken a lethal beating from them, and it wasn't even their cuts or bruises, but what the socs were saying to him that really pushed him over the brink of wholeness. Keeping himself together was not an option. Now Johnny carries around a six-inch switchblade, and he goes ballistic when he sees a soc. His eyes get huge and a spark of both terror and hatred erupts in him. These are the reason why this is the main conflict, as of now, in "The Outsiders".
ReplyDeleteIn the Outsiders, I think the primary conflict is man vs. self. I think this because Ponyboy lies to himself all the time, which causes him to think differently about people. For example, he said that Darry didn't care about him when he was yelling at Ponyboy for his safety. Also, Ponyboy worries to much about what’s going to happen. Like when he told Johnny that if he got caught he could get killed in the electric chair, or when Ponyboy was thinking way to much about there appearance.

i think that the main conflict in the outsiders is the fact that there life is a big battle between the Soc.'s and the greasers. i think this because without this conflict they would not be hiding in the country in a church, they wouldn't have to cut and die their hair, and finally they wouldn't be afraid of going back to their house. this is because johnny wouldn't have killed the Soc. to save pony boy.
ReplyDeleteI believe the primary conflict in the outsiders is the fights and hatred between the socs and the greasers.One detail i have to back it up is how johnny got jumped and gt hurt really bad. Then when they tried to jump him again but he killed a soc with his blade. So these are two detail of the primary conflict which the hatred and fighting between the socs and greasers.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in The Outsiders is Man vs Man (Socs vs Greasers). I think this because the Socs and the Greasers are always fighting with each other. When they fight each other they are creating conflict. Recently after Johnny and Pony Boy killed Bob the Socs and the Greasers have been fighting more and more.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in the book "The Outsiders", is the clash between the rich SOCs and the not so rich greasers. I think this because Johnny killed one of the SOCs named Bob. By that, this is affecting the Greasers in many ways. One way is the SOCs are now looking around the neighborhood the Greasers lives in, and because the "fuzz" is now looking for Johnny and Pony boy. Johnny is facing many problems now because he is not used to being guilt for something he did not really mean to do because it was self-defense, so there was absolutely no choice.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in The Outsiders is a man vs. self one. I believe this is the primary conflict because while Pony and Johnny were in the church they were fighting with their mind on wether to turn themselves in or not. When Johnny told Dally that they wanted to turn themselves in, Pony was a little unsure about it which means that the man vs. self conflict isn't over.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict of the out siders is man vs. society, because in the story pony boy is a greaser and he has problems with in his self but they many occur within the society the town where he lives. For example in the begging of the book pony boy says “not like the SOCS, who jump greasers and wreck houses etc.” That lets the reader know he has a problem in society. When Johnny killed the SOC’S for pony boy it was a problem with in society.
ReplyDeleteIn the book The Outsiders I think the primary conflict is getting caught by the "fuzz".
ReplyDeleteI think that because Poney and Johny got in a fight with the socs and johny killed them both for self defence,so their out for murder.Also if they wen;t to court the judge wouldn't be on their side since their both greasers and Jonhy would get the electric chair and Poney would probly go to jail. Thats why I think getting caught by the "fuzz" is the primary conflict.
In " The Outsider " there are many conflicts. I think that the main conflict is, Jhonny and Ponyboy on the run from the " fuzz ". They are on the run because Johnny killed Bob a former socs. Johnny and Ponyboy want to turn them selfs in. Dally is so surprised, he doesnt want them to or they both would be in BIG Trouble. Especially Johnny. Moreover, The conflict of " The Outsiders " is Johnny and Ponyboy on the run.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in The Outsiders is man versus society. I think this because throughout the book there has been tension between the greasers and the socs. The socs are like the society, they judge and beat up the greasers. Like once in the story, Johnny was walking home and a blue mustang came up behind him. Four socs came out of the car and they cut, punched, and kicked Johnny. After that he was never the same and he is now always very careful. Another example is when five socs came up behind Ponyboy and jumped him. Pony was walking home from a movie and five socs found him. They were joking about cutting Pony's hair while he tried to run for it. But, the socs were too quick for him and he got slammed to the ground. He was cut and bruised pretty badly but, it was nothing compared to Johnny's experience. My last example is about when a few socs found Cherri and Maria hanging with 2-bit, Johnny, and Pony. Cherri and Maria are two soc girls who met the greasers at a movie and were heading home with them. But then their boyfriends came up in a blues mustang and got upset. They wondered why they would be hanging a round a bunch of stupid greasers. So the girls decided to go home with the socs instead of getting a ride from the greasers. So, these examples show that the primary conflict is man versus society because of the feud between the greasers and the socs.
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict of The Outsiders is that the primary characters who are a gang are Greasers. Greasers get jumped by the Socks who are a wealthy class of citizens opposed to the Greasers who are a poor class of citizens. If the primary characters were not Greasers many of the conflicts faced in their lives may not have happened. For example, if Jonny and Pony (two members of the gang) were not Greasers they would not have been jumped by the Socks the night they were in the lot. That means that Jonny would not have had to kill one of the Socks, Bob, to save Pony's life. This event causes Jonny and Pony to run away from home to escape from the police. They also would have not been injured in a fire if they were not jumped by the Socks that night. Jonny and pony would not have had to save the kids in the burning church which lead to their injuries. If they were not Greasers another member of the gang Darry (who is also Pony's older brother) would not have to work so much because they would already have the money. Soda (Pony and Darry"s brother) would not have to stick up for Pony when Darry gets hard on Pony because Darry wouldn't be so stressed with working so much. Another example is Dally might not have been arrested at the age of ten if he was not a Greaser. Steve and Soda could also have a better jobs than working at a gas station and 2Bit wouldn't have to use his humor to save his life in some sticky situations.
ReplyDeletein the novel "The Outsiders" the primary conflict is man v. society. The primary conflict is man v. society because Ponyboy and Johnny are on the run from the cops.Another reason the conflict is man v. society is because part of society, the socs are always jumping greasers. For example when Pony and Johnny were in the lot the socs jumped them for no reason. That is why the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is man v. society.
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in The outisers is Man vs Society because the greasers are againist the socs and the socs hate the greasers. Another reason I believe that the main conflict is Man vs Societyvis because Johnny had killed Bob to defend himself ,so now the socs are after the greasers as told by Dally this is why I believe the main conflict is Man vs society

I believe the primary conflict of The Outsiders, is man vs society. The reason I think that is because the Soces and greasers are alike in some ways (they both watch the same sunset) according to Cherry and Ponyboy and the only thing that is separating them is the society, money, and emotions. There are some displays of man vs man (like Johnny getting jumped). But I think the main conflict is man vs society because society is what tears the two apart, which causes the bad blood between the two groups.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict in The Outsiders is between the Socs and the Greasers. I think this because no matter what happens it's always between the Socs and Greasers. Like when Johnny killed Bob, because of it the Socs and the Greasers are at war all over the town. The Greasers can't go anywhere by themselves because the Socs will jump them. With this happening in so many parts of the book it must be the primary conflict. At some point in the book the Socs and the Greasers have to end up working out their differences.
ReplyDeleteThe conflict in the Outsiders is a Man vs Society. Pony Has to deal witb socs. Thay always want to make greasers miserable. Pony is a greaser.Pony also feels different from others. Only Soda, Johny, and Cherry understand him
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in the outsiders is johny killed one of the socs who tryed to attack johny and ponyboy. Know ponyboy and johny are decided to e scape . Johny and ponyboy know that if they turn around and go back that they will be caught and in major trouble.
ReplyDeleteIn the book "The Outsiders" the primary conflict is Man vs. Society. I think this because in the book Johnny and Ponyboy have to run away because Johnny killed one of the Socs (Bob), an if they hadn't run away to the country Johnny would most likely be put into the electric chair. Therefore the only reason that they had to runaway is that the people in the West Side community would most likely press charges to put the boys in prison. Moreover that is why I think the primary conflict is Man vs. Society.
ReplyDeleteIn America, many people have conflict towards one another. This has been going on for the time of life itself. But what is the primary conflict in the book "the Outsider"? The primary conflict in the book "the Outsiders", is man vs. society. One reason that proves this conflict is that Pony Boy and his gang are always getting into fights with the Socs. Another reason is, the Socs think they're better than the greasers because they have more money. And a final reason as quoted from Sherri "Cherry" Valance is "Socs have no emotion, and the greasers have too much emotion."
ReplyDeleteThe primary conflict in the Outsiders is the fights between the Socs and the Greasers. This this the primary conflict because this is the result of Johnny killing Bob. If Bob and his friends were'nt going to hurt Pony Boy this primary conflict would'nt be the conflict. Also if Bob wasnt dead the primary conflict woud be differnt.
ReplyDeleteplease to take to note that I was not here for the last part of the reading on friday(only i my conflict was a little off)
In "The Outsiders" the primary conflict is man vs. self. One reason the conflict is man vs. self is that Pony and Johny have to make tough desisions. For example, Pony wanted to turn themselves in but Johny talked him out of it. Another reason "The outsiders" is man vs. self is that Johny has been emotionaly scared for life. For example, Johnny killed the guy and now he will have to live with the guilt his whole life. Therefore, "The Outsiders" conflict is man vs. self.
ReplyDeleteWhat I belive to be the primary conflict in "The Outsiders", is the fact that Johnny had killed a soc and Pony boy had been a witness to the incedent. Pony boy and Johnny are running away trying not to get caught, but because the church (or hidout) had caught on fire. Both bravery from Pony boy and Jonny had saved kids that had been stuck in the burning church, resulted in maby less of a punnishment for Johnny and Pony boy.
ReplyDeleteFor the primary conflict for the outsiders is man vs. man because the greasers are trying to win the socs in the story,and I remembered when Dally that Ponyboy and Johnny had to go find Jay Mountain but then they were tired so they had to find a hideout by the church.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is man vs.self because Johnny killed a soc and can't get over his guilt even though it was self defense. Johnny can hardly think about that night.Ponyboy however, has trouble living with the tought that he was a witness he saw the soc(Bob) lying on the pavement in a pool of blood. That is a scene that Ponyboy will carry around him for the rest of his life. Another reason that the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is man vs.self is because Johnny and Ponyboy have to decide wheather to run away or turn themselves in. Also i think the primary conflict is man vs.self is because Ponyboy had to make a very fast desision if he should save the children trapped in the church or not, Ponyboy had to decide if he could live with the guilt of letting those kids die. The last reason i think the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is Man vs.self is because Ponyboy has to deal with the hate of the socs that jumped him and Johnny that night in the park. Ponyboy has to be aware of the thought that if they had never been jumped they never would have had to run away and the church never would have caught fire and Johnny wouldn't be close to his death bed at that very second. That is why i think the primary conflict in "The Outsiders" is man vs.self.
ReplyDeleteI Feel the conflict in The Outsiders is man vs. society. I think this because of the way the book discribes how the Socs beet up or jump the 'Greasers'. Not just the Socs they have to face but they are caught by the 'fuzz'. This shows me that I can think that this is an important conflict
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary conflict of the "Outsider's" is Man vs. Society. I think it is Man vs. Society because its the greasers vs. the socs. Another reason why I think it is Man vs. Society because the socs do not like the greasers because they are not as rich as them and they don't have as nice of cars as the socs. And the last reason why I think it is Man vs. Society is because the only reason why the socs don't like the greasers is because they live in a not so ice neighborhood and the socs live in nice house's.
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict is Man vs. Society. Because of the fact that back in Johnny and Ponyboy's hometown, people will start noticing they are gone and that the soc Bob is dead. The police will start trying to look for Ponyboy and Johnny because the other Soc's will tell the police that those two greasers killed Bob. I think they will be caught because Dally will say something.
ReplyDeleteI think the main conflict in The Outsiders is Man vs. Self. Pony Boy and Johnny are stressed and guilty at the fact that Johnny killed Bob. They have to overcome the feelings inside of them. They are emotionally scarred and can never forget what happened that night in the park. There are many existing conflicts in The Outsiders but I think Man vs. Self is the main one for Pony Boy.
ReplyDeleteI think that the primary confict of tha OutSider is man vs society. one reason is beacause it has to do with gang and where they live. i also i think tht it could be man vs nature. one reason is beacause where they live and what they do beacause of that.
ReplyDeletethe conflict of the story the outsiders is man verses man beacause the greasers and the soces are fighting over wich gang is better of better and they are bothe the same cause there all people and it dosnt matter there was no reason for people to die beacuse hat shouldnt go that far
ReplyDeleteI think the primary conflict of the Outsiders is Man vs Man. I tihnk this because, if it wasnt for the Greasers and Socs fighting, Bob wouldnt have died. Which meant Pony wouldnt run away, the Church wouldnt have burnt down, and Johnny and Dally wouldnt have died. ALl these conflicts happened after the socs jumped Johnny and Pony. Which wouldnt have happened if the socs and greasers werent fighting. Its like cause and effect.
