Symbolism • I saw the bicycle chains, blades, and corvettes. Theme: Fighting is what the greasers are known for, so the theme is loving while fighting. The mood is very dark and negative due to the fact a rumble is about to occur.
Symbolism • Bicycle chains symbolize the approaching fight. The author uses blades and chains to emphasize the mood set for the rumble.
Simile This simile is used to describe the characters ears by comparing them to the ears of a lynx. …and he had ears like a lynx. This relates to the theme by first introducing you to all the characters and their appearances.
Personification! This is used to emphasize how Ponyboy’s run-away shirt fit him. His t-shirt just about swallowed me!
Personification The mood at this point in the Outsiders is fear of the future. The characters are worried about getting caught for a recent crime. The tone is used to add a little humor to the fear in the situation of Ponyboy and Johnny, two characters in the Outsiders!
Metaphor “You know what a greaser is?” Bob asked. “White Trash!” Bob says this to Ponyboy to provoke him and start a fight with the greasers.
Metaphor This selection from the Outsiders has a very negative mood due to the provoking of a fight. The author’s tone with this quote is to show how the Socs treated the Greasers on a daily bases.
