The Outsiders

     I was attracted by the title, "The Outsiders", because I believe I would be the protagonist of this novel. There's no one can understand the meaning of this novel except me, I mean, I'm an outsider but you(they) are not.

     The novel was finished when the author is a 16-year-old girl, so the feeling is really touching just like my life. But there is a difference between my situation and the situation of this novel. I separate myself from the crowd and the world when I was an 18-year-old boy, I have tasted many bad experiences so I didn't want to open my mind anymore.

     There are many disadvantaged minorities in the world, most of them are excluded but least of them are excluded by themselves just like me. But they are not willing to do that because there are "some people" force them.

     It's just a beginning not an end. "What did we do to deserve this?" We don't know. All the things we should do now is fight for ourselves whatever other people say. "Did you try to fight for your freedom?" I ask myself. "Did you try to change your way of life?" I have thought it but I never did it. I want to give up and let the world to control me. I don't care. Really? These words make me think if were they, what would I do?

     It's just a beginning not an end. They still fight for your right even if I didn't do that. But I still try to find a way to escape the control of fate from the crowd. I always say that to me to encourage myself. I want to see more beautiful scene so I have to fight for myself even if I am alone. The road of life is lonely so I never want to rely on other people. But I know there's a light at the end of road.
