Personal connections
Ekene connectionMy personal connection with the book is the way Darry treat Ponyboy is the same way my older sister treat me. I consider it tough love the same way Ponyboy does because she always hard on me and punishment me for the things I do. Something i misunderstand her action to me but at the end of the day, I know it out of love and not bad attention.

Chiamaka's connection"When I see a movie with someone its kind of uncomfortable....And nobody in our gang digs movies and books the way I do." When I first read this on page 2 of "The Outsiders" I instantly felt a connection to Ponyboy. It's not that I'm antisocial and occasionally I like to go out with my friends, shop, eat, laugh, that kind of stuff, but sometimes I like to lie in my bed on rainy days (when the internet's down) and read a book or watch a movie on T.V. To me, it's warm and comforting, and pretty much a good day, to my friends It's just another day spent inside thanks to the stupid rain. Things are sometimes better by yourself, especially watching movies. I think my brother made me start thinking that way after asking thousands of questions during one of my favorite t.v shows and now I find myself changing the channel every time I hear him running down the stairs. I like doing things with my friends, talking, watching movies, playing games, it's fun, but so is a little alone time.
