The Outsiders is about a boy named Ponyboy Curtis. There are the Socs which are the wealthy kids and the Greasers who are Ponyboy, his brothers, and their friends. One-night Ponyboys friend kills a Soc to save Ponyboy from being drowned. They run off to hide in a church, until that church catches on fire. They save some kids that were trapped in the fire. Johnny gets seriously injured and dies. Darry, one of Poyboy’s brothers, dies the same night. Ponyboy reflects on his life and his losses.
My favorite part was when I thought the Greasers were going to get beat up, it looked like they were outnumbered but the Greasers ran off the Socs. My least favorite part was when both Johnny and Darry die in the same night. It was sad that Johnny died from being a hero. This was a very good book because it was a page turner.
