YR10SEHSASPIRANT . "The main character, ponyboy, unravels the systemic problems of the Socs and Greasers laced within the world of "The Outsiders", forcing himself to run away from the authorities to maintain his friendships and keep his family together without his parents. Throughout this action filled drama: tragedies, conflicts, and friendships sprout. With the epicenter of this novel revolving around a death at the hand of the lower class member Johnny, Ponyboy's friend."
This is just a couple of sentences I came up with about it if you are trying to convince your tutor. Not really helpful for a synopsis though. Might have waffled 
.. tyyyy still is useful
YR10SEHSASPIRANT ohhhhhh, just say the point of the novel, not really each individual event.
YR10SEHSASPIRANT ok, ty.
.. wth ur writing is so good
.. but my tutor wrote this. and a short summary of character and plot development
- Edited
fun fact: i almost cried reading that book (if you haven't noticed already, I'm a weirdo)
?
Tas the book was so good though
- Edited
YR10SEHSASPIRANT Well it's not bad(more tailored towards essays) BUT you have FOUR BLOODY MINUTES to get your point across about the novel and present. So I think instead of already spoiling the events of the novel just highlighting the main point of what the author wanted to convey. It would be more convincing to read the novel in my opinion(just an opinion, remember always your choice)
.. wait i don’t understand for the audience to read the novel? Bc if thats the case i dont think it would work as she has clearly stated to explain the story
YR10SEHSASPIRANT Wait what I'm so confused, earlier you said, " this is js a synopsis but in later paragraphs im meant to persuade my tutor to read the book" So I thought you meant the prompt was to convince people to read the book. Mb if I interpreted wrong. Also if your tutor did that, why did they only do half of the story?
if ur tutor wrote that then its kinda low quality ngl, kinda abrupt, not flowy sentences, vocab is also of a mediocre quality
- Edited
- MMHS nah it was mine and reading back ik i have to fix it up js is js putting ideas down
.. nooooo i did it our prompt is to persuade and we have to write a short synopsis at the start
MMHS ty though thats rlly helpful
MMHS its cuz I’m not used to essay writing since i haven’t done one in a while
MMHS ty for the feedback tho
The Outsiders is a fictional novel written about the conflict between two gangs, The Socs (which is slang for Socials) and the Greasers (the name symbolises their greasy hair). As the book goes on, the protagonist, Ponyboy unravels the true personality of many of his foes. Ponyboy lives with his two brothers, Darry and Sodapop. The 3 lost their parents passed away in a car crash a couple of years before the story was set, taking a detrimental impact on their lives, but primarily Ponyboy. This distraction caused his grades to plummet, and to be involved in fights that could put his life at risk.
Dally and Johnny are two of their closest friends and are also a part of the Greasers. Ponyboy, being the youngest in the group was also the most petulant. An example of his childish behaviours are him reaching home after 12am and picking up the Soc’s girls which was clearly an immature choice.
Soon after, Ponyboy and Johnny pick up two of the Soc’s girls at the drive in theater, infuriating two of the Soc’s, Bob and Randy. These four shortly had a second encounter at the park, where Ponyboy was being drowned by the two boys. Johnny couldn’t just watch his friend die in front of his own eyes, so he grabbed his switchblade which he swore he would only use for self-defence and stabbed Bob. The rest of them ran off. Johnny was officially a criminal. His name made newspaper headlines, causing the town to believe he was a miscreant who wanted unnecessary attention. They ran over to Dally’s house where they grabbed essential items and ran off to a rural, old church.
@MMHS any better?
