THE OUTSIDERS a novel written by a teenager!

"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold."

Our class is going to read The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton.

So what is The Outsiders about?

Here is a brief idea:
P onyboy Curtis belongs to a lower-class group of Oklahoma youths who call themselves greasers because of their greasy long hair. Walking home from a movie, Ponyboy is attacked by a group of Socs, the greasers’ rivals, who are upper-class youths from the West Side of town. The Socs, short for Socials, gang up on Ponyboy and threaten to slit his throat. A group of greasers comes and chases the bullies away, saving Ponyboy.

What do you think happens now?
