Understanding Class: The Outsiders

Learning Target:  I can explain how a theme is developed in literature using characterization and symbols; I can define class and explain how class can limit people.

We will be reading the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton.  Written in the 1960's when she was 16 years old, it is a book that explores class and how classism limits people. We will use it to understand how class in both Rumford and Cape Elizabeth is both good and bad and how it can put up barriers to growth and change.
