The+Outsiders+by+S.E.Hinton

=
One aspect of the book I liked is that the book is from the point of view of a hood, juvenile delinquent or (more used word in the book) a greaser and that the book is about social status at its worst. This book is also an awesome book for all teens. ======

Ponyboy is a greaser. All of his friends are greasers too. They weren’t half as lucky as the rich soc (socialist) who got all the breaks and Mustangs and madras.
== Ponyboy and his gang of friends (Darry, Soda, Steve, Two-Bit, Dally and Johnny) lives at the bottom of the social ladder may not be perfect but they were having swell times, until one night it goes too far. In a fight, Johnny pulls out a knife then suddenly a soc is dead. Johnny was just trying to save Ponyboy. The soc were going to drown Pony and beat Johnny again and Johnny panicked, but they aren’t the ones with Mustangs, madras and all the breaks. What could they do? To save themselves Johnny and Ponyboy decide to run away… but they can’t escape from their past. ==

__ INTERESTING FACTS!!! __ S.E.Hinton was 18 when her book was published (1967) but she started writing the book when she was 15.
