Setting
In this part of the book analysis about the book "The
Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton I will discuss the setting. The
setting is appropriate to the plot-the streets in the "wrong
side of town".The author's descriptions are deep but easy to
understand. The neighborhood where the gang lives is a place
that fits the plot well, and helps to understand it. A good
example for a description would be the one in page 85, of
the dawn: "...The dawn was coming then. All the lower valley
was covered with mist, and sometimes little pieces of it
broke off and floated away in small clouds. The sky was
lighter in the east, and the horizon was a thin golden line.
The clouds changed from gray to pink, and the mist was
touched with gold. There was a silent moment when everything
held its breath, and then the sun rose. It was beautiful."
This kind of description made an image in my mind of a
beautiful dawn-this was a word picture.The story happens in
the 1950s in the US, it lasts a few days. The author usually
describes every part of the day using Ponyboy. The mood the
setting creates is of the neighborhood, and street life.
This really contributes to the judicious plot development-it
makes it more believable and reasonable.
To conclude I can say that the setting fits the plot and the
characters in a very good way. This is the best setting that
can be for this kind of plot and characters, because other
setting would make the story ridiculous because a street
gang can only fit into the streets.
