The Outsiders and Bacon??

On Revenge and Outsiders

                                        The greasers                                     Sir Bacon

     I have read both On Revenge and The Outsiders, not I’m going to compare the two right before your eyes! I have noticed while I res the poem it reminds is me a little of Johnny. “Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.” Johnny has had all that anger kept inside of him for the longest time. His parents, getting beaten up, lonely feelings, and THEN they were trying to drown ponyboy? He completely exploded and killed bob the soc out of revenge. If His parents and the soc’s didn’t beat him up, if he didn’t feel lonely, and the soc’s were not trying to drown ponyboy then he probably wouldn’t have all this rage that is mentioned in the poem. “There is no man doth a wrong for the wrong’s sake; but thereby to purchase himself profit, or pleasure, or honour, or the like.” He felt that if he killed the soc that beat him up that day, he would feel better and stop the grudge he was holding on them. In conclusion, I have found that the book and the poem have some connections. Reading Outsiders was very enjoyable, and so was reading On Revenge.
