Herd Behavior And The Outsiders Connections

The second text is called “Herd Behavior” by CommitLitStiff. This short story is about what a herd is, what types of herds do, and how they act. This connects to The Outsiders because in Herd Behavior they talk about how there are different types of herds and how they stick in a pack just like the Socs and Greasers do. Also they would never leave each other and that what the Socs and Greasers would do too. That was basically what the short story (Herd Behavior) was about and how it was some what connected to the book The Outsiders. One piece of evidence that supports how they are connected is: In Herd Behavior they talk about how people in groups usually follow what other people do in the groups, and in The Outsiders book, Some of the people in the Socs are actually nice and think differently than the actual bad boys in the group, but they all tough in front of one another. Another piece of evidence that supports how they are connected is: In Herd Behavior they also talk about how if a family or a group sees more people doing one thing or going to a place more than another thing or places, then the family or group would go to where more people are at. But also in The Outsiders for the Greasers and the Socs, some people in each of the groups have a soft side/nice side, but since other people on the groups do bad stuff, they copy them so they don't feel alone or left out. Herd Behavior and The Outsiders have a lot in common because since each of the gangs will always be together and won't leave each other's sides, and that's exactly what herd’s do, so that's why this shorts story and the book have a lot of things in common. That is how the short story “Herd Behavior” and the book The Outsiders have a lot of similarities to them (connections).
