The most important locations in The Outsiders

• The Town:  Divided into the rich West side and the  poor East side.
• The Park:  "About two blocks square, with a fountain in the middle and a small swimming pool for the little kids," the park is not too far from the boys' house because Ponyboy walks there from the vacant lot (53).
• Corner of Pickett and Sutton--This intersection of two main streets is where Dally waits for Ponyboy in chapter two. 
• The Dingo: The rough drive-in hang-out where all the Greasers go.  It is down Sutton street.  After Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy leave the Dingo, they cross Sutton and cut across a field to get to the Nightly Double drive-in. 
• The vacant lot-- The lot is where Ponyboy and Johnny talk and fall asleep in chapter three.  It is between drive-in movie and on the way home to Ponyboy's house.  The vacant lot is also the location of the rumble that happens toward the end of the novel and where Dally is shot by the police.
• The old church-- The church is not in the boys' hometown.  It is on top of Jay Mountain outside Windrixville. 
• The Hospital-- Located in the town, the hospital is not very close to Ponyboy's neighborhood, because Hinton includes the detail that he had to catch a bus to get home.

The importance of soliloquies, and how they work (hold off on this)

"When shall we three meet again?" In Act 1 Scene 1 of Macbeth when the witches first meet we are introduced to many important aspects of the play. In particular it is an excellent example of the use of nature imagery and the supernatural. "In thunder, lightning, or in rain?" The witches are supernatural creatures who will drive Macbeth to do terrible things. They reference terrible natural weather to decide when they will meet with Macbeth. The nature imagery here enhances the power of the idea that things are and will be unsettled because of the bad weather. "When the hurly-burly’s done, When the battle’s lost and won."

Macbeth and Banquo's Ghost

In large groups please...

In filthy, dangerous accommodation, Britain's hidden homeless are suffering

The Guardian, Wednesday 20 January 2016 14.34 GMT
For two years, the Institute for Public Policy Research has been talking to homeless people living in what we are calling unsupported temporary accommodation. These hidden homeless are mostly single homeless people ineligible for full formal housing support, who are sent towards the most dreadful corners of the English housing market: poor quality bed and breakfast accommodation, private hostels and short-stay shared houses.

The individuals who took part in our research ended up living there through a number of routes: some were directed from prison; many by local authorities unable to offer statutory support; others by local public services or charities; and even one by a taxi driver who knew that a bed would be available.

What was clear from the research was that there was no collective knowledge across authorities, agencies and voluntary services about who they were sending to these houses, what condition the properties were in, and little to no collective responsibility for these individuals once they had found somewhere to temporarily rest their heads.

Knowing where homeless people are sent to live matters. The physical and social conditions of where single homeless people end up are often appalling, and the tales of those living in these homes are often horrendous. One individual we interviewed said:

It is a dump … The quilt is just covered, soaked in blood. You have never seen anything like it. No heating. One person says [the landlord] has done nothing to maintain the place in 10 years. It is just so disgusting. I have been there just 24 hours and I am sleeping in all my clothes, my coat. Wrapped up and not touching anything. I have a scarf over my mouth so I don’t breathe any disease in.

The appalling property conditions are often coupled with reports of management abuse, theft, fraud, and social conditions that are unfit to live in. While properties might offer shelter, a number of individuals we worked with clearly stated that they would be better off on the street. The experiences we heard help to explain why this might be the case: individuals trying to gain stability or turn their lives around often find their accommodation making things worse – recovering addicts directed to houses where drug issues are known to be rife, vulnerable people signposted to homes with violent management and tenants.

LAUNDRETTE
We sit nebulous in steam
It calms the air and makes the windows stream
rippling the hinterland's big houses to a blur
of bedsits- not a patch on what they were before.

We stuff the tub, jam money in the slot
sit back on rickle chairs not
reading. The paperbacks in our pockets curl.
Our eyes are riveted. Our own colours whirl.

We pour in smithereens of soap. The machine sobs
through its cycle. The rhythm throbs
and changes. Suds drool and slobber in the churn.
Our duds don't know which way to turn.

The dark shoves one man in,
lugging a bundle like a wandering Jew. Linen
washed in public here.
We let out of the bag who we are.

This young wife has a fine stack of sheets, each pair
a present. She admires their clean cut air
of colour schemes and being chosen. Are the dyes fast?
This christening lather will be the first test.

This woman is deadpan before the rinse and sluice
of the family in a bagwash. Let them stew in their juice
to a final fankle, twisted, wrung out into rope,
hard to unravel. She sees a kaleidoscope.

For her to narrow her eyes and blow smoke at, his overalls
and pants ballooning, tangling with her smalls
and the teeshirts skinned from her wriggling son.
She has a weather eye for what might shrink or run.

This dour man does for himself. Before him,
half lost, his small possessions swim.
Cast off, random
they nose and nudge the porthole glass like flotsam.

A Dream Within a Dream

BY EDGAR ALLAN POE

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone? 

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar

Of a surf-tormented shore,

And I hold within my hand

Grains of the golden sand —

How few! yet how they creep

Through my fingers to the deep,

While I weep — while I weep!

O God! Can I not grasp

Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save

One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem

But a dream within a dream?
