I hope you would enjoy and learn something about the book from reading this
analysis.
Plot Development
The plot development in the book, “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, was easy to

strong. The weak of the world were put here to give the strong pleasure...
I hunt the scum of the earth - sailors from tramp ships - lascars, blacks,
Chinese, whites, mongrels- ..." 5) This shows that Zaroff not only acts

When I use the term chaos or anarchy I don’t mean it in the literal sense but in comparison to the modern world or in particular England. Anarchy or chaos in my usage is meant to be the lack of morals and/or certain values, which we as westerners would agree t .....
