THE OUTSIDERS PLAYLIST Compiled by the Class of 2023

This song reminds us of Johnny and Ponyboy's time hiding out in the country.
When Ponyboy reunited with Darry and Sodapop, he realized how much he loved and needed his family.
A major theme of The Outsiders is the way we stereotype those who are different from us.  
This could be Dally's anthem!
The lyrics of this song remind us of Pony and Johnny's escape to the country and changing Ponyboy's hair.

​​
One of the major themes of The Outsiders is growing up. 
This song reminds the class of endings, especially the ending of a friendship like Pony's with Johnny.
Dally cared so much for Johnny, but he couldn't keep him safe forever. 

​
Ponyboy dreamt of life beyond the Greasers life, like sunsets. Johnny's dying wish was for Ponyboy to keep that part of him alive, and "stay gold."
