Imagine you are living in a world where people are labeled.
Individual people are put into groups based on where they
live, how much money they have, and the group of friends they
hang out with. Does this sound familiar? Is this the world
that you live in? Do you think that this is an environment
that only exists now?
As you read the novel, The Outsiders, there are several references
to musical icons of the 50's and 60's. Evil Presley was the
King of Rock'N Roll and the Beatles caused the British Invasion.
