Becoming a man

Authors note: this is a very strong subject to write on I like strong topics

             Loss of innocents is nothing to play around with. in two books that I have read the outsiders by S.E Hinton April morning by Howard fast. It is a very real issue for young kids that are about to be men before their time.

            In the story April morning Adam is forced to lose him innocents. By joining the war he becomes a man witch he really wanted and he earns the respect of his peers.His mother doesn’t want him to join the war but him and his father wants him to join. In the book the outsiders ponyboy is force to lose his innocents. By his friend killing someone and they have to go on the run. By going on the run they lose their innocents buy having to live in a abandoned church.

            The main characters are the same in the way that they are forced to grow up faster than most kids. They are forced to be men before they are ready to and make grown up decisions before they are legally adults. They have both witnessed murder ether in war or in a gang fight which is a tragic event and many give them repressed emotions

They both have their innocents taken from them in two different ways. They still get there innocents stolen in some kind of way weather they wanted it or not. In April morning he joined the army and lost his innocents. In the Outsiders ponyboy got his innocents stolen when his friend killed someone he did not want this to happen but it did.

            Loss of innocents is nothing to play around with. In April morning the innocents was not taken but sacrificed for the good of his town. In the outsiders the innocent was stolen. I hope I have explained well enough to give you a good idea of how serious loss of innocents is.
