Stereotyping

Author’s note: This is about the theme defying stereotypes in “The Outsider”
Has there ever been a guy you saw walking down the street and you think to yourself “Wow he must be the bad guy. Look at him! I mean the leather jacket and the boots.” But he could really be a nice guy with a soft spot for everything. Stereotypes are just people judging other people by what they look like.
In the book “The Outsiders” the society judges the group of Greaser's who are like the outsiders of this society. They are dirty, poor, greasy, not as well educated, and attractive. But they don’t have a very good family life. They might be all of these things but they always are there for their “family”. Family to them is not a mom or a dad to them it’s like their friends in there group. It doesn’t matter if their real brothers or fake brothers it’s still love.
People judging other people are just categorizing with stereotypes. They never bother to get to know the real person. But if they don’t try would you even bother to like them for who they are?
