We had to write letters to the author of a book that affected our lives, in English. I'm going to post the letter that I wrote. Please read it. I think you will like it.


Dear S.E. Hinton,
Earlier this year I read your book, The Outsiders. It really inspired many aspects of my life. Some parts of the story brought tears to my eyes. The boys in the story didn’t have much in their lives, but they did have each other. Ponyboy realized that people weren’t all that different from each other. Everyone looks at sunsets. Everyone wants to be loved an accepted. The socs had more material things, but that didn’t make then that different from the greasers. If people like the greasers could just be loved, and people like the socs could give more love, would we think that we’re so different from each other? Would there be so much hate?
This book encouraged me to love people more and to stop judging people. One person’s love can save someone’s life. Some people will never know what it’s like to be cared about. I was encouraged to be the person to care.
God created us all equal. He loves everyone equally. I’m not any better than anyone else in the world. As a Christian my goal is to be like Jesus. That means loving everyone as he loves them. When I judge someone and see them as someone less than how God sees them, I am disrespecting myself, the person I am judging, and God. I’m saying that what he created isn’t good enough. The socs and the greasers were different in some ways, but God loved them all equally. The Outsiders inspired me to love everyone for the way God made them rather than judge and hate
I don’t know if you have a relationship with God, or if you even believe that God exists, but these are some of the things that I got out of The Outsiders. After reading this book I was able to recommit my love and faith in God. I was reminded of what a loving God he is. Thank you for writing such a wonderful story. It will touch manly people’s lives.
 
You made some very insightful comments! Thanks for sharing. God bless.
