7. Point of View • Its first person point of view because it says “I” in the book and phonboy is the natrater. • For example in chapter 3 it says “I think they were still half-scared of us.” • “I” was in the sentence (claus)so it makes it first person.

8. Symbolism * The “outsiders” is the symbol it means you don’t fit with what is considered normal.

9. Recommendation • I think you should really read this book. • You should read this book because it has lot of powerful characters. • Also it has a lots of good details and you can actually picture it.
