The novel, The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton was a very intriguing book. This novel shows the differences of two gangs, the Socs and the Greasers. It is also a story about three brothers who lost their parents in a car accident. All the characters in this book will have to go through very interesting challenges and obstacles in this book.
The main character in this book is Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy is the younger brother of Sodapop and Darry. Sodapop is the middle sibling of the Curtis family. When Ponyboy's parents died, Darry, the older sibling, takes care of Ponyboy and Sodapop. Ponyboy is very academic and is a star on the school track team. Ever since Ponyboy's parents have died in a car crash, he became very rebellious to Darry. Ponyboy and Darry fight very often. Throughout the novel Ponyboy will realize that Darry is not that bad as a parent figure and he will learn to live with him. Sodapop is a high school dropout and is the happy-go-lucky sibling of the family. Every character in the book shows great respect for Sodapop because most of the time, he kids around but when he is serious, people listen to him and take his advice. Sodapop always listens to problems that Ponyboy is having. He also makes sure that Darry is not too hard on Ponyboy. Throughout the novel Sodapop became more serious and did not kid around as much. Darry had to drop out of school and work two jobs ever since his parents died so he can take care of Pony and Soda. Darry gave up his dream of attending ... Read More

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is an inspirational story of the lives of low society. This book teaches alot about friendship and to always look on the goodside of things.
Ponyboy lives with his two brothers Darry and Steve along with all of his other brotherly like friends. Ponyboy and his friends/family are all known as the greasers, while there southside rivals are known as the socs. Life is hard and dangerous were Ponyboy lives and gets to be preety frustrating. One night Ponyboy and his friend Jhonny get into some real trouble with socs and have to flee town or go to jail. Both Ponyboy and Jhonny face hard decitions and have life changing expieriences. I think this book is very moving in a way in which makes you feel good of the things you can do for others. I think that this book is ment for any person who has a little time to put their heart into something. And you would be suprised by how much you can get out of it.
Rating: - The Outsiders book review
Things don't turn out quite as Ponyboy wanted when waking home from the movies. The rival gang, the Socs, jump him. But of course Ponyboy's brothers Darry and Sodapop are there to save the day. Throughout The Outsiders Ponyboy will run into trouble with his fellow Greaser friends and without the help from his brothers will have to survive at his own will. What Ponyboy does not know is that he will get into a suspenseful situation that will put his and his friends lives in danger as well as keeping his family together.
The Outsiders is a one of a kind book that all ages can enjoy. I have read this book a while ago and was my favorite book and is still my favorite piece of literature. I believe the reason for my liking of the book is that it is action packed and full of suspense. Once you pick up The Outsiders you will not be able to put it down, for you will want to find out what happens next. One quote from the book that will make you eager to keep reading is on page 75. "We could take whatever was coming now". I strongly encourage you to read this book because it is fun, enjoyable, eye raising, and may even leave you in tears.
