How does gone with the wind relate to the outsiders??

Answer 1

frankly, I don't give a damn.

Answer 2

Scarlett, the hero of the novel, is herself the outsider. She does not conform to what society expected of women in that time period. When she married Charles Hamilton, Ashley's sisters knew she had done it just to be close to Ashley. When Charles was killed and Scarlett a widow and pregnant, Scarlett was not the typical widow of the period. Scarlett defied everyone when she not only went to the ball benefiting the war but proceeded to dance with Rhett. Widows in mourning simply were not supposed to do this, and she was shunned. But she didn't care; she was doing what she wanted, what made her happy rather than doing what was expected of her.
Scarlett's whole life played out that way. She married Frank Kennedy under her sister's nose for his money, she married Rhett who was an outsider (by misunderstanding - he did in the end go to fight for the south). Scarlett spent her life looking after one thing only - herself. And while she was the outsider as a result, she also has proven to be the strongest of everyone in the novel. She never went hungry again.

Answer 3

You must have a heck of a book report to do because you have alot of questions about this book.
Why not just read it?
It's a really really good book.
Or at least rent the movie.:)

Answer 4

it doesn't...unless you really really stretch to connect the two. this sounds like a stupid question that your high school english teacher has assigned to you. if this is the case, just write some crap about the main characters in each (virginia and pony boy) embarking on long emotional journeys resulting in heightened self realization. that should get you some credit.

Answer 5

That would depend on your definition of outsiders.
