Outsiders theme

The theme of the outsiders is that when you're in a gang you can die eventually. When the book is about to start Johnny gets jumped by the socs because his hang and their gang are rivals. Dally died because he was robbing a store and he didn't think the cops would shoot. In page (153-154). Johnny died the same day because of the fire of the church. Johnny killed bob because bob was in the socs gang and he was hurting him and so he was defending him and he killed him with his pocketknife. In page (56). All these kids died because their in a gang or in the wrong place.
