Read this excerpt from The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton.

I had a long walk home and no company, but I usually lone it anyway, for no reason except that I like to watch movies undisturbed so I can get into them and live them with the actors. When I see a movie with someone it’s kind of uncomfortable, like having someone read your book over your shoulder. I’m different that way.

What is a universal theme found in this excerpt?

Belonging to a community is important.
Being alone is not always a bad thing.
Family life is not always easy.
Hard work can overcome obstacles.
