Definition of family

Authors note: This is a five paragraph essay about the definition of family.

The definition of family is a group of people that love or care for you. In the outsiders the family for the greasers is not their relatives but their gang. That is why their relationship is so strong and they take care of each other.

            Johnny’s parents are a good example of one that is not conventional  and his real family is the greasers. All though he has a real biological family he hates his mom and dad, but his real family is the greasers and he loves them and relates to them.

The reason family matters in the outsides is because they don’t have many blood relatives and if they do they don’t care about them. If they get in a fight the greasers have their backs so they don’t die in a rumble. If someone was to die in the family they would have people to bury them and have a funeral like Johnny.

            They have family so they have back up if they get jumped or get in a rumble.

They also need family to help them with moral support and judgment calls. With family people feel better about them self’s and the insecurity’s.     

The definition of family is someone that cares for you and loves you for who you are and they don’t judge you for what you look like or how much money you have. They see you for who you really are not the mask you wear in public.
