Winner of the Student Writer Award 3rd Place, Analytic Essay (Years 3 and 4). "This paper represents an excerpt from a much larger “critical annotated edition” for S.E. Hinton’s 'The Outsiders', and as such it is somewhat different from a traditional analytical essay. The project is divided into two sections: the first, the “Introduction”, is a critical examination of the novel’s history, influence, and scholarly aspects, with the second being a close reading of a passage from the text."
