Outsiders making connections

In the poem I read it was about a group of African American boys and how they act. In the book the greasers really don’t care about their responsibilities either besides Darry and in the poem the boys care about their responsibilities. In the poem it says that “we die soon” which was was important because a big event that happened was Johnny’s death. This can relate too because Johnny died at the age of 16 which is too soon to die. Another thing to relate is that it says “we left school” and in the book sodapop dropped out of school because he wasn’t good at it. Those are some things that “We Real Cool” the poem and the “Outsiders” have that can relate to each other.
