He is forced by the strict rules of his society to follow certain rules of life. Every home meal he must share his feelings and dreams.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

In the novel "The Outsiders" foreshadowing is used to make the reader think about what will happen next. For example, before the event of Johnny killing Bob takes place, Ponyboy states that Johnny would kill the next person that decided to jump him. Another example of this is before Dally's death. This is foreshadowed by Ponyboy's use of past-tense words when referring to Dally. He used phrases like "Used to". By noticing this, the reader starts to wonder what happened to Dallas Winston. The burning of the church is foreshadowed when Ponyboy tells Johnny to put his cigarette out, as he might start a fire. This word usage makes the reader wonder if the church will burn down in a future chapter. The foreshadowing of Johnny's death takes place when the nurse tells Twobit and Ponyboy that it's ok to go in and see Johnny because "It couldn't hurt". The Outsiders uses foreshadowing to add suspense and make the reader think harding, adding to the excitement the reader experiences while finishing the book.
