Book Review: Eat, breathe, and live it!
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Outsiders" is a classic novel about growing up and finding yourself while the world around you seems to be crumbling down. It focuses on a particular gang of greasers(A.K.A. The fifty's word for hoods, juvenille delinquints, etc.) in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1950's who are at war with the Socs (abbreviation for Socials, A.K.A. the fifty's word for the rich, stuck up kids of classier Oklahoma). You won't be able to stop turning pages as the gang experiences things that keep you both entertained and inspired by their bravery. S.E. Hinton's tale of life, love, and a never-dying friendship is a must read that you will never regret buying. I know I haven't.
Summary of The Outsiders
Three brothers struggle to stay together after their parents' death, as they search for an identity among the conflicting values of their adolescent society in which they find themselves "outsiders."According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser. This classic, written by S. E. Hinton when she was 16 years old, is as profound today as it was when it was first published in 1967.
