The Outsiders project The events of the plot—
that is, what happens in
the first two chapters—
should stay pretty much
the same. However,
below are two issues to
address:
1. What is a modern-day
conflict that might exist
between two groups of
teens?
2. How would the
fighting between the
two groups differ to‐
day—would it be more
violent, less violent, or
about the same?

1. a modern day conflict that could exist between two groups of teens is an argument where each person feels as though they’re the victim in a situation. the conflict could exist between two members and the others are defending each side. ex/ a member of group A’s friend has been mean to a member of group B’s. B feels as though it’s unfair group A continued to be friends with that person even after they hurt them. Group A’s is upset because they feel as though they shouldn’t have to unfriend that person just because they hurt someone else.
