My connection to the Outsiders is when Ponyboy was talking to Cherry at the drive-in, the quote in chapter 3 that Cherry said “if I see you in the hall at school or someplace and don’t say hi, well, it’s not personal or anything.” This scene foreshadows my experience meeting a girl, but she acts in a rejecting way and doesn’t want to talk to you when it is out of her comfort zone.
I connect to this passage because I have the same experience with talking to a girl who acted very kind at school. She texted me on the weekends and asked me to help her with homework, fashion, and other opinions. When I met her at a shopping mall, she ignored me and after that, we texted again and seemed like nothing happened. This habit is the same as Cherry’s habit of not talking to Ponyboy at school.
My connection helps me understand more about the Outsiders by there is more than one girl that behaves like this. I felt a bit of a waste of time in the beginning. When I saw this scene, I remembered my experience. I rethink that it was a lesson learned. I hope that it will not happen to me again. I will not be a power bank to anyone, at least I should be a mobile phone even if it could be replaced by the new model in the future.
