Making connections - The Outsiders vs “What love isn’t”
“What love isn’t,” is such a great and very accurate poem. It explains love very well and compares to the book The Outsiders very well. They both have a lot in common. Life does not always go well, there are many troubling parts to it but we always push through it no matter what.
In the poem What love isn’t there is this short excerpt that says, “It is now and till the end. It is never a slither, never a little it is a full serving it is much too much and real
never pretty or clean.” This relates to my connection to the outsiders because this quote means that love is now to the end and you never give up, it's a lot to handle. Just like the Greasers. They stick together no matter what. Sometimes they might have big problems but they never give up on trying to deal with them,. Yeah it’s hard but they’re brothers.
What love isn’t also has this quote, it is weight and it is too heavy to feel good sometimes. It is discomfort — it is not what the films say.” This quote connects to the outsiders because this quote is saying that love has a lot of weight on you. It gives you many emotions that you won’t want to have. Love is not what anyone says or what it looks like in the movies. It’s hell, but a great hell. The Greasers had a lot of weight on them when Johnny and dally died. They’re body was emotions running around like it was a marathon. They were very uncomfortable. They just lost two of their best friends. They couldn’t feel anything but sadness and anger. It’s not at all what the films say, films have happy endings. There was no happy ending.
The poem What Love isn’t and the book The Outsiders are very similar. Both of these things are very accurate. Love is not always 100% amazing and neither is the Greasers lives. It’s tough. Both of them. It’s like the poem basically described the whole theme of the outsiders. I say this because the outsiders has the lives of many people who don’t live in a very good environment. Love is not always a good environment per se. It's rough and tough like the Greasers. All around these two things have a lot in common. It’s like if the Greasers and poetry had a baby.
