S.E Hinton does create a cast of believable characters in The Outsiders. It is loosely based on real-life high school drama and each character deals with issues that are very close to the heart of teens, whether in the 1960s or today.
Would definitely recommend the novel!
Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly the same as yours, which showed the poem "Burning a Book" as the text in question. If that is your case, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer and Explanation:
The poem addresses the moment when people's freedom is hindered by an oppressive government that sees literature as a dangerous weapon and therefore promotes the burning of books in the public square.
According to this poem and if we look at the way oppressive and violent governments act, freedom is more important than security, although both are important for satisfying life. With freedom, people have access to any resource that can help them fight oppression. Furthermore, security without freedom is not real, because when a government takes away people's freedom it interferes in their security, because it allows people to be completely at the mercy of a violent and deadly system.
