The plot of The Outsiders is a teen gang also known as the Greasers that lives in the beat up part of Oklahoma. The Greasers who are poor have a rival who are known as The Socials who are very wealthy. Greasers Ponyboy and Johnny get into a fight that ends with a Social dying, after that, the boys are forced to go into hiding.

I imagine the authors morning routine as getting up early, drinking coffee, meditating, eating breakfast, something light, not too heavy. The author uses alliteration, foreshadowing, hyperboles, irony, personification, similes, and metaphors in the novel. When it comes down to the novel, S.E. Hinton uses a large variety of figurative language.

Clarisse gets him out of his "world" and makes him see all the good in life that's around him. Even though she does all of this indirectly, she inspires him to take big steps.

She shares her insights with people while expressing wonderment at the way people talk to each other without actually talking about something meaningful. She shares metaphors comparing the rain to wine and fallen leaves to cinnamon. She displays curiosity about other people's motivations and lives...

One of them would simply just be "why do you wear such a tall hat?" 12-10-20 The saying "the early bird gets the worm" means that whoever gets to wherever first, has a higher chance at success.
