With my group of vocational-minded readers who have work, family, and ranch obligations outside of school which are often prioritized much higher than school work, I have struggled to find a way to engage them in reading activities, especially fiction reading. This new semester, I have begun focusing on the idea of why we follow the crowd. Why do we sometimes do things, even when we know there are terrible things going on (Germans during the Holocaust)? Why do we cling to social norms even if they aren't in our best interest (The Lottery)? I need a novel that will illustrate social patterns and expectations, the good, the bad, and the ugly, in a story that students of varying reading levels can connect to on a personal level. I believe that S. E. Hinton's "The Outsiders" is a novel that teens of varying socioeconomic standings, family structures, and political backgrounds can still relate to, especially the boys (our most difficult sell).
