The Outsiders was a very amazing book, written by a 15 year old girl, S.E. Hinton. She used her initials, because in her time the pubisher did not believe in women writing books. So, people thought a man had wrote it. Many copies sold, and her book was soon famous and well-known.
Parts of the book is true, and it is was she lived through. It tells the story of two gangs, the Greasers and the Socs. The Socs live on the West side, and they are the rich kids that get away with everything, while the Greasers live on the East side, and are poor, uneducated kids that are usually getting in trouble.
The Main part of the storys is when Ponyboy and Johnny are running way, they run into Bob and the other Socs. Bob is trying to kill Ponyboy, and Johny kills him with his switchblade. They runaway to an abandon church, and soon after that, Dally and Johnny are in the hospital. You will have to read the book or watch the movie to find out the rest.
If you want to watch the movie, go on youtube and type in "The Outsiders", then watch part 1, 2, 3, etc. I suggest the ones that were posted by NoWayItsHappening. There are 14 parts, it may not seem interesting at first, but it will be.
If you have any comments about my thread, please post them! I love to read them:)
