Detailed explanation-1: -Gang relationships are included in the theme of family love. Ponyboy’s gang members need the support and security that they find in the gang. The home life situations that these boys find themselves in are often abusive. They have turned to the gang for the love and support that should have come from parents.
Detailed explanation-2: -Themes for The Outsiders include the concepts of society and class, love, loyalty, and education, along with choices when faced with violence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Outsiders shows the importance of family, even in the toughest situations. The Curtis brothers’ parents die before the book begins, so we see how the boys have grown to lean on each other since then. Darry and Sodapop go to work every day, both to support their family and in hopes of sending Ponyboy to college.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Most Prominent Theme of The Outsiders. The main theme of The Outsiders is self-identity vs. group identity. There is evidence for this theme in the title itself, as the Outsiders form their own group (the greasers) because they feel they’re on the outside of society.
