Question

PLEASE HELP, DUE TODAYA! After reading "The Outsiders" in its entirety, what do readers learn about the exposition and resolution? What do they have in common? Please respond in one or two sentences.

Answer 1

Answer:

The exposition of "The Outsiders" reveals the main character of the story, Ponyboy and his friend group 'Greasers' and his rival group 'Socs.'

In resolution, the readers come to know about the reality of the story. Ponyboy was writing his English assignment that his teacher gave.

The similarities between exposition and resolution is that the characters and setting are same as in the beginning and ending of the story.

Explanation:

The exposition of a story is the introduction in which the characters and settings are introduced.

In the exposition of the novel "The Outsiders" the characters and the setting is introduced. The narrator of the story is a boy named Ponyboy. In the exposition, readers are introduced to Ponyboy and his group of friends, and they call themselves 'Greasers.' The rival group of Greasers were also introduced, that is, 'Socs.'

The resolution is the ending of the story in which all conflicts are resolved.

In the resolution of the novel, not only the conflicts are resolved but the readers come to the light that the whole novel was nothing but Ponyboy's English assignment that his teacher gave him. In the resolution, when Ponyboy writes "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the moviehouse" the readers can also imagine themselves coming out into the bright sunlight from the imagination of Ponyboy.

The similarities that both the exposition and the resolution shares is that the setting and the characters are same. In exposition the story began with Ponyboy waiting outside the moviehouse and in resolution also we see him in the same setting.
