We Real Cool

In my second text We Real Cool by Gwendolyn Brooks it connected to The Outsiders because both text talk about similar things like leaving school, death and many other topics. One topic that relates to The Outsiders was the quote “We die soon”, this topic is difficult to understand because to die means many things. But “We die soon” probably means that they were jumped one day and killed. This connects to The Outsiders because one the one part in the book when Ponyboy almost died because a Soc drowned him so Johnny had to kill him. Another quote that makes these similar is “We strike straight”, this quote is saying that their in a gang so they won’t be scared to attack a person or possibly kill them. This connects to The Outsiders because the Greasers are like a gang and they are not afraid to get in a fight and hurt the other person. These quotes prove that We Real Cool and The Outsiders are similar. In my opinion I think that these are good reasons and there were many more quotes like “We left school” and “We lurk late”. These quotes also connect to The Outsiders and also talk about things that were important in The Outsiders.
