Two-Bit says that Dally, "deserves what he gets" if Tim Shepherd fights him because...

Dally slashed Tim's tires and got caught (which is the number one rule among the greasers), so he has to take the consequences.

Tim Shepherd is bigger than Two-Bit and Two-Bit is always teasing Tim.

Tim Shepherd is not someone to mess with, and the greasers have a truce with him so Two-Bit shouldn't be messing with him.

Dally and Tim have fought before and Dally didn't fight fair. So, Tim is liable to get revenge.

Which piece of evidence supports that the greasers did not belong at the drive in because they weren't Socs?

"I had heard the same tone a million times: 'Greaser... greaser... greaser.' Oh yeah, I had heard that tone before too many times. What are they doing at a drive-in without a car?"

"Dally merely looked at her and kept his feet where they were. 'Who's gonna make me?'"

"'You'd better leave us alone,' the redhead said in a biting voice, 'or I'll call the cops.'"

"She was mad by then. 'I wouldn't drink it if I was starving in the desert. Get lost, hood!'"

Cherry says, "I wouldn't drink it if I was starving in the desert." Why does Hinton use this hyperbole in Cherry's dialogue during the drive in scene?

Hinton uses the hyperbole to exaggerate Cherry's strong dislike for Dallas and to prove that no matter if she is thirsty or not, she will not drink a Coke bought by someone she despises so much.

Hinton uses the hyperbole to compare Cherry's thirst to a dessert and to show that she really isn't as thirsty as the reader may think she is.

Hinton uses the hyperbole to prove that Cherry is a young, smart woman who knows what she wants in life and won't take any disrespect from anyone.

Hinton uses the hyperbole to identify Cherry as a Soc and to show that she doesn't date Greasers.

In chapter two, we learn:

There is a very strong relationship between Dally and Johnny.

Soc girls are judgmental of Greasers.

Drive-ins help Socs and Greasers to get along.

Greasers are judgmental of Socs.

About this resource

Based on the questions in this quiz, this assessment covers Chapter 2 of S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," focusing on reading comprehension, literary analysis, and critical thinking skills appropriate for middle school English Language Arts. The questions assess students' understanding of plot details, character development, and literary devices including foreshadowing, flashback, hyperbole, and imagery. Students need strong reading comprehension skills to recall specific events and dialogue, analytical thinking to make inferences about character motivations and traits, and knowledge of literary terminology to identify narrative techniques. The quiz requires students to distinguish between different text structures like cause and effect, analyze the author's purpose in including specific passages, and interpret figurative language within context. This level of literary analysis, combined with the complexity of the novel and the sophisticated vocabulary used in the questions, indicates this material is most suitable for 7th or 8th grade students who have developed intermediate to advanced reading and analytical skills. This quiz was created by a classroom teacher who designed it for students studying middle grade English literature. This assessment serves multiple instructional purposes in the English classroom, from checking basic comprehension of plot events to evaluating students' growing ability to analyze literary techniques and make text-based inferences. Teachers can use this quiz as a formative assessment after students complete Chapter 2 to gauge their understanding before moving forward, or as a review tool to help students prepare for larger unit assessments on the novel. The variety of question types makes it excellent for homework assignments that encourage students to revisit the text and think critically about both surface-level details and deeper literary elements. The quiz effectively supports instruction by reinforcing key reading skills and aligns with Common Core standards including CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.1 for citing textual evidence, CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.3 for analyzing character interactions, and CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.7.4 for determining the meaning of figurative language.
