BRAINLEST Telling a story using a first-person narrator has many benefits. In The Outsiders, you get to know Ponyboy very well because you see everything through his eyes and you read his thoughts and know his emotions. The downside to this kind of narrator, though, is that you don't always get to know the other characters very well. In other words, a first-person narrator is limited in his or her perspective.

For this activity, you will attempt to see an important event through the eyes of a character other than than Ponyboy. To find important details, skim the specified chapters and reread pertinent texts to help you understand the character's outlook. Then, make inferences that lead you to a conclusion about the character's thoughts and opinions of the event. Be sure to write your account referring to yourself using the pronouns I, me, my, and we.

Choose a character other than Ponyboy and describe a key event in the novel from that character's point of view.
