Healing ‘Brick City’: A Newark Doctor returns home relates to The Outsiders in different ways. In both the article and the book they resemble heroism and lots of struggle, loss, and sacrifice.
“My past wasn’t always perfect. I grew up in a single-parent home with five siblings [in a] drug-infested community”. This relates to The Outsiders because, Johnny gave back to be apart of tomorrow. He risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community.
“Through my mother’s way of handling life, she always made sure that I understood the need to give back.... She always said, ‘Once you make it, you have to come back and help other people.’ Too often, in Newark especially, I see so many professionals that do make it out — they don’t return. And I think that’s a crime in itself.... You have to have some social consciousness to give back, to be a part of making it better tomorrow”. This relates to The Outsiders because, Johnny gave back, to be apart of tomorrow he risked his life in a burning church, to save children. He was a brave hero, and the the man gave back by also saving lives as a doctor, and his mother’s words of the wiser set him up for life to help his community.
The two texts really do resemble heroism, and I liked both the article and the book because they really connect to the plot and shows that you can become a hero no matter who you are or what you did, Johnny killed someone, but then because of that he risked his life to save many lives which turned out really good and he became a hero in papers. We need more heroes like Johnny and Newark’s doctor and you should try by something small to start off a hero and be the best you can and to try your best.
