3. Reread the passage in which Ponyboy remembers when Steve's female cousin from Kansas visited. How did the gang choose to treat her? Why?

The gang chooses to treat Steve's cousin in a polite and gentle manner. They do this, because that is how they treat the family of gang members.

Explanation:

This question is about the novel "The Outsiders" where we know the story of Ponyboy a boy who struggles to find his own identity in an environment to which he does not feel comfortable and adapted. In the novel we got to know two street gangs, one of which Steve and Ponyboy are members of. These gangs have rules, which are strictly followed by all members, one of these rules says that the family of the gang members should be treated with kindness and for this reason, Steve's cousin is treated in a polite and kind manner.

explanation:

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people
