connections with my independent reading book

So far the connection that I can make with my independent reading book The Outsiders is with The Dairy of a Wimpy Kid Roderick Rules. I can connect these books because they both deal with people’s lives. For example in The Outsiders Pony boy has to deal with the socs and in The Dairy of a Wimpy Kid Roderick Rules Greg has to deal with his older brother. I think these are the most important points that they have in common because that is what both books are about. These books are also very meaningful because the have to go through hard times that they don't have control over and I think that sucks for them because they are things that are very important to them. This is all that I can connect these to books and they are also really good books.
