==== Question # 1: Literature helps us to understand the character traits and motives of many different people. Some people are similar to us, and others are very different. Write a well developed paragraph in which you tell me which character in The Outsiders you are most like and why. You may choose any character, but you must make sure you connect to them in some real way. ==== Answer: I think that the character I am most like would be Cherry Valance. I think that I am like her because she stands up for herself, doesn't do what everyone else is doing, and makes smart decisions. Instead of drinking the coke that Two-Bit gave her, she knew that it wouldn't be smart and didn't have it. Also she left her boyfriend and all of the other boys when she knew that they were getting drunk and that it would be smart to leave. Cherry is also a good friend because she stuck with Marcia when things were getting bad with their boyfriends and made the good decision with her that they should leave. Lastly, she lives in a wealthier town than where the greasers live. Mequon is a very welthy town compared to Milwaukee or other bad parts of the state.
