There is a bountiful number of outsiders in our society and we are wondering, why are they outsiders and what have they done to become that, what defines them? Outsiders in our society are simply misunderstood and people do not understand them, hence them being outsiders. The reasons that seem to make outsiders misunderstood is that they do not like or do the popular stuff at the time. Also, those who are outsiders are seen as people that are “different,” but really are misunderstood. Outsiders are just misunderstood in society and not purposely being pushed out. A truly popular reason behind an outsider being who they are is not supporting or doing what is popular or trendy at the time. Very often in society, trends occur and they become excessively popular, or it is just things people have been doing for an elongated amount of time. So called outsiders usually do not join in on these popular occurrences and then society assigns them an outsider, but they do not always deserve that tag.

They are normal people like the rest, but are just simply misunderstood, just like Gregor is misunderstood. Gregor is the main character in “The Metamorphosis,” by Franz Kafka. Gregor’s family misunderstands him, when he transforms into a bug one day, when he tries communicating with his family cannot understand him, so he cannot tell them it is him or what happened. From this, his family forces him become an outsider and they eventually stop caring for him as his sister ends up locking him in a room with no escape, “Gregor had not heard anything of her approach. She cried out, “Finally!” to her parents, as she turned the key in the lock” (Kafka 112). Gregor ends up dying, “Then without willing it, his head sank all the way down, and from his nostrils flowed weakly his last breath” (Kafka

One of the most famous outsiders in history is Martin Luther King. He was considered this because he decided to take a stance against what's normal and average. He wanted to have equal rights for both African Americans and Caucasians. By doing this he was considered an outsider by all people. They either stood with him or against him during his outside revolution. Although he did not like to be considered an outsider as shown by this quote “Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Anyone who lives in the US can never be considered an outsider anywhere in the country” He was an outsider by trying to make no one feel like an outsider themselves. So throughput this he didn't belong to the groups trying not to allow equal rights. But to the people, he stood up with he was a leader and belonged to their group, therefore even if you don't feel like you belong with the group you're in, you have a network.
An outsider is defined as “a person who does not belong to a particular group.” In the book, The Outsiders, many of the characters can be described as being an outcast from the social society. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Cherry are outsiders in this novel because none of them really fit into the groups that they’re “supposed” to be in.
An outsider is someone who is not accepted or is isolated from society. ‘Of Mice and Men’ is set in the 1930’s, where society considered many people as outsiders. During this period, many people were racist, sexist and prejudice towards disabled people. This is shown with several characters in the novel including Crooks, Curly’s wife and Candy who are all considered as outsiders in this novel, since they each had something that the society at that time were prejudice towards.
What does being outsider mean? Does it mean being left out of being different? People have often felt like an outsider at one point in their life, and wonder why. Are outsiders misjudged or misunderstood? These two terms meet at a crossroads, and are commonly misinterpreted. Misjudging someone is when you make a solid assumption or conclusion about them, whether it be on their looks our how they act. Being misunderstood is when someone interprets you for someone you are not. Based on both of these definitions, outsiders are simply misjudged. We can see examples of outsiders being misjudged both in literature and in modern day society.
Being an outsider is a position that an individual does not fit in with the rest of society. Areas of society are often called clique at which we feel like we must coordinate our actions to follow and pleases. Those actions leads to the anonymous question should the outside, those who do not follow the rest be embraced or rejected. Corresponding with the rights of our world, we are seen as equal, yet we do not always follow that. Outsiders should be rejected, providing them growth, individuality through independence and, crucial life skills.
Are outsiders simply those who are misjudged or misunderstood? Whether outsiders are misjudged or misunderstood depends on whose perspective you view this question from. When you look at someone you are developing an opinion of them, and you may be misjudging them by deciding they are an outsider. While when you are the person being judged you feel that you are just simply misunderstood. You may have experienced one or probably both of these perspectives. Moreover to truly understand what it means to be an outsider you need to understand both of these perspectives.
The first reason why “outsiders” are misjudged is because others judge them on where they live, who their parents are, and their social status. Ever since humans have been on earth, we place each other into a socioeconomic status. Certain people might live in a terrible, broken down house in a dangerous part of town, due to not making enough money. Others might be rich, living in a ginormous mansion, and living like a king. The poorer and less fortunate can't often help that they don’t have a lot of money. Yet, some richer people judge these poorer people on things like where they live or how they might dress. This happens a lot more in high schools, although some adults could do this too. Others might judge the “outsider” because of who raised them. The “outsider’s” parents might have had a “troubled past” in the eyes of some people and they might judge the outsider for being their child. It could also be the exact opposite and others could judge the outsider due to their parents being “wealthy” or “snobbish.” People are judged all the time based on lives that they can’t control. An outsider might want to try and create a better life for themselves

Hinton's fictional novel The Outsiders by multiple characters in groups in the book. These include the social classes, Ponyboy Curtis, and lastly Johnny Cade.

I think that outsiders are those who are misunderstood. I think this because people that are outsiders are usually what is considered “weird”. People that are “weird” are usually just not like all the other people. People that are outsiders are usually unique and the other people just do not understand what they like. That’s what makes outsiders who they are… they’re just misunderstood.
