Rodger/ lifestyle Same Auden
Obviously Auden and Rodger are not the same, they have a lot
of differences but they had one big similarity that they can really relate too.
Auden is a school driven girl that had to deal with her parents fighting when
she was little. Because her parents fought she just kept to herself and busied
herself with school work, she had no social life as well. Rodger on the other
hand was the total opposite and he had a social life he was always hanging out
with people, although he didn’t have a parent figure to tell him the rights and
wrongs. In the story it says that Rodger stole from a lady and she asked if he
just roams the streets and he said yes. The biggest thing that they have in
common is both of them deserve a better childhood. Auden with no social life and
always doing school work and then Rodger roaming the streets of New York and
steeling from others. Having a childhood is important it gives you time to be
mature and enjoy life unlike the book the Outsiders were the Greasers have to
grow up fast and work so they can eat and have shelter.
