I hate it when stuff does that. I always completely miss it and then feel stupid.

I read The Outsiders as a teen but I can't remember reading this one. But yeah, that is frustrating.

Yeah, while it works in the book, it can be frustrating.

I suppose you could try to find literary analysis that explains what you're missing, or see if Hinton wrote or said anything about it later (in interviews and such).

Text: N!S: I love S. E. Hinton’s books.

S!: I have read and re-read this book over the year and even today there are in-verse references that I don’t understand the exact connection to or the significance of.

It was a brilliant … yet frustrationg move on S. E. Hinton’s part to make it so Rusty-James didn’t have the education or understanding needed to figure them out, so it forces the reader to try and figure them out instead. Alas.

I'm the same with some of Spider Robinson's stuff, especially the older stuff. I still enjoy those tortured puns about political figures of the 1970s, but yeah, I have no idea what they're referencing half the time.

I was startled as hell when I found out Hinton was a woman because her male characters are all so well-written and her female characters have no personality at all. They only seem to exist as love interests or mothers to the boys.
