Authors Note: This story is going to tell the importance of family and that family doesn’t always have to be blood related, they can just be people that care and love you.
I grew up in a family divorced ever since I was 6. When something that big happens to you so young, you start to really appreciate your family. Most people’s parents are divorced some people don’t even have one parent or any parents for that matter. In the book, “The Outsiders”, they don’t all have parents that are alive or care about them so their gang becomes their family. Even though there is no blood resemblance, anyone can be your family if the love and care for you.
What is family? In my eyes its people you can count on, and know that they will always be there for you. In the outsiders, one of the main characters, Johnny, even when he was dying he didn’t want to see his mother, he wanted to see his friends Ponyboy and Dally because he knew that they actually cared about him. Johnny didn’t grow up with loving parents, his farther beat him and his mother didn’t care, as for Ponyboy and Dally always had his back. Jonny’s true blood family didn’t even care at all, in the book he ran away, and his parents’ barley knew he was gone, but as for the gang, they were worried sick about him.
Pursuing this further family can come in any size, shape, or form. Although your blood related family will always be your family, it’s better to surround yourself with people who care. Everybody deserves a family, even if they aren’t blood.
