The Novel, “ The Outsiders” and the Article, “ Herd Behavior” have many similar connections to each other. The first connection I made was when Johnny died, Dally reacted in a wrong way, He got so upset that he ran away and went to a store, he robbed a store and threaten the cashier. While he was running he got trapped by the police and the police men shot him, he then died. This connects to the “Herd Behavior” because it talks about how a person acts on a emotion they are feeling and they should think about what they are about to do instead of acting on it.
According to the article, Herd Behavior, “It often has a connotation of irrationality, as people’s actions are driven by emotion rather than by thinking through a situation”.
Another connection I made was in the rumble, Derry and the gang were going to fight back because of the socs beating up Johnny and Ponyboy, and Johnny killing bob (socs member) rest of the gang will follow. This connects to the article because it’s talking about how when animals are in a situation where there panic or just in general they are all together never leave each other, that relates to the Novel because the whole gang is always together for everything.
According to the website, (https://www.commonlit.org/texts/herd-behavior) “All of the animals band closely together in a group and, in panic mode, move together as a unit”.
The Novel to the website has similarities and connections in a way. The Outsiders is a good book especially for middle school or High school. For some people during those ages, they can relate or maybe they been through something similar. I recommend it, it’s really good!
