The real meaning?

Authors note: This response is about the true meaning of Family what the real definition of family is.


Do you think just because you have the same blood as some you they should be your family? No there are two types of family. The first is physical and nobody gives a dime about it except some old social services dude. The second and most important is the family that loves you and cares for you. I mean did you know over 40% of kids do not grow up to know their real parents.
The outsiders are a great example of this because of the character Johnny he would not pay a penny for his parents. Instead he refers to the gang as his family, over his biological parents because his family does not really care about him. So the real definition of family should be “the people who love and care about you”. Another book that has this same case is Alex rider when you read the first page it says “Alex never knew his family” And he refers to his family as His uncle and Jack Starburt.
Family is the main theme in this book because the whole book is based on bonding with others I mean Johnny and dally Ponyboy and Darry. Ponyboy and randy, everybody is gaining friends. So that is why the main theme is about family so I thought this was a very serious book about true family sticking together.
