Outsiders to Herd Behavior connections

The second text that I had did was an article called Herd Behavior.   The common theme between both is to stay together in any danger.  In the informational text called “Herd Behavior” paragraph 2 ”When herd behavior sets in, an individual person’s judgment and opinion-forming process shuts down as he or she automatically follows the group’s movement and behavior. “This connects to the Outsiders theme by it shows how the to be together when there is any danger like before the rumble Ponyboy had recognized that we should not be fighting and instead paying attention about Johnny because he was hurt but when the Socs came he automatically decided to fight them forgetting about what he thinking about. Another quote from the informational text Herd Behavior At paragraph 3 states “Herd behavior in humans is frequently observed at times of danger and panic; for example, a fire in a building often causes herd behavior, with people often suspending their individual reasoning and fleeing together in a pack.”This connects to the theme of the Outsiders because it shows how the even in danger they work together and come together as if they are in a group. There was a part where a building was on fire and Ponyboy saw this and he and Johnny walked in to get the children stuck in the fire and they finally got help from Dally .The connection between the outsiders and the article Herd Behavior is the theme which is to stay together. I thought that the outsiders and the Herd Behavior had many similarities to connect to the theme.
