Family in the Outsiders

Author note: this piece is about the theme definition of family
Have you ever read the book the Outsiders because it is a great book but also it teachers how a family does not always have to be your parents but your friends Like how Ponyboy does not have his mom or dad because they died in a car crash but his family is his brother and the greasers. Because they will take care of him when he gets hurt or something happens to him. In the outsiders there is much examples of the theme of definition of family.
One of the examples is the Curtis family what happen in his family is that Ponyboy Sodapop and dally both of other parents die in a car crash. And know Sodapop and Dally have to work all the time so they can take care of their self and be able to have money so they can buy things that they need to they can live.
So in the Book the Outsiders there are characters that there mom and dad do not care about them that much such as Johnny. Like when Johnny got hurt and he had to go to the hospital because he broke his back and is in bad shape. When his mom came and sees if she could do in anything for him and he told her not to come because he thought that she was just going to yell at him because he got himself hurt for doing something good to save my lives. Also an other thing is that when Ponyboy parents die in a car crash and them his brother had to take care of him and make sure that he is taken care of because there is on one else to take care of Ponyboy. The greasers also are family to each other because much of their family is broken up because they live in the bad part of the town.
The definition of family does not always mean like a mother or a farther and a brother or a sister. A family is someone or many people that care about and make sure that you are ok and safe. Some examples of that are in the book Outsides and some in this paper to but many more in the book. And that why I think that you should read this book
