The World Through Bob's Eyes

Authors Note: This is a point of view essay on the book “The Outsiders”. Where I tell the point of view from another character from the book

In the book “The Outsiders”. The story is told through Pony’s eyes. You get to see what he sees. What I wonder is how would the story be told through the Socs Eye’s. Would Pony’s journey be altered if you saw what other people saw? That’s what I hope to answer in my point of view essay, in which I will write an excerpt of what I think would fit in the book if it were to be told by Bob the main antagonist on the soc side.

“Man these greaser’s are such a pain” I said “Well, Bob they haven’t done anything wrong”  “ Yeah they did, they’re greasers where suppose to beat up on them” I snapped  “But” “But nothing there below us in society” and that end our brief conversation. Our town has been like that for years, are parents were like that and their parents were like that. It’s just the way things are. Are they far? No. Is it right? No even in the slightest. Do we still do it? Yup. That’s not even the worst part, the way those kids have it is hard yes, but not like we have it. We both have our different issues, like they don’t have the nice things we do. On the contrast we are put to a higher stander in so getting drunk, smoking and doing anything that isn’t high class approved. They don’t have any standers or code that they have to follow, no stress or pressure of getting good grade, all they have do to is be hoods.

That brings me to my next point. People should be labeled because of how they dress, act and talk. Now I know you’re going to look at what I have wrote in the last paragraph and how I said “...there where below us in society,…they’re greasers where suppose to beat up on them…” The only reason I say that is because I’m the leader of the Socs, these kids younger than me need something to believe in. Now before tell them to join a club or root for a sports team, I don’t mean it like that, I mean to keep them away from killing, drugs and alcohol that stuff. Yes bulling other kids isn’t the best way to do it but it’s the only option, you would do it to if you were in my position.

I've done things I’m not proud of. We all have. The worst thing I had ever done was beat up a greaser… you know I should use that word anymore. A young kid named Johnny was walking alone in the park, me and my buddies were rolling by  and the guy in the back says “let’s jump him”. Right here would've been the perfect spot to keep driving but if I did that I would've gotten grilled and called a chicken so we continued. We jumped out of the car and…. I don’t even want to write what happened. What I did. I stayed up the whole night praying that kid would be alright, crying. Well I don’t want to write any more. I think I’m going to go talk to that Johnny kid and say I’m sorry.
