We real cool poem connected to The Outsiders Novel

“ We real cool” , is a poem that describes the life of seven main friends that are probably in a street gang, that get into quite frequent trouble. Or maybe I'm entirely wrong, whatever, I think it is connected to the novel ‘The Outsiders’, because both stories revolve around 7 young boys that both go through many obstacles along the way.“Seven at the golden shovel”. Meaning maybe there are seven of them maybe as like the main people who are being talked about in this poem. This connects to the outsiders by the characters, there are seven people (main) because the seven people in the outsiders were only really, Ponyboy, Sodapop, Johnny, Darry, Dally, Steve, and Two-bit. “We die soon”. Probably meaning someone somewhere in the poem, something happens to them and they die. This also connects to the outsiders as well because someone dies in the poem who was most likely a beloved character and in the outsiders Johnny died who was a very beloved character. In conclusion both of these show that The Outsiders can compare to other things. In both a poem all the way to real life. These poems connected with each other in a way of teenage life or young adult life. As how it can be hard and confusing for some people. In the outsiders there was very much of this, which shows that the poem and the outsiders can be connected and compared.
