Question

In at least 100 words describe a coming of age story that you have read and explain why it can be described in those terms

Answer 1

One of the coming-of-age stories I’ve read is “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. It is considered a bildungsroman because it contains the characteristics of a coming-of-age novel. Some of the characteristics of this type of story are a conflict with society, going on a journey, a struggle in finding oneself, and a loss of innocence. In “The Outsiders,” these elements of a bildungsroman are all found within the writing. At the beginning of the story, Ponyboy―the protagonist―begins as an immature, mostly carefree teenager. However, as the story progresses, the main external conflict is uncovered. There is tension between the Socs and the Greasers, and because of this external societal conflict, the internal conflict and loss of innocence takes place. Ponyboy witnesses the death of one of his best friends, Johnny, and struggles with the guilt in knowing that he was the one who killed Bob―one of the Socs antagonizing his Greaser gang.

Answer 2

The story is a fictional story which says that there was once a man who was over ambitious in nature. He had the realisation that he will be the king of the country in the near future. He is very conscious of his future and takes certain steps in haste. He thinks about his actions in the lonely place and makes the readers understand about his thoughts and his feelings.
