The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
Book Talks
The book I read was The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. This book is about the rivalry between the two groups which are the Greasers VS. Soc’s. The main characters in this story are Ponyboy, Johnny, Dallas, Darry, Sodapop, and Two-bit. The Soc’s puts Ponyboy Curtis and his best friend Johnny in a bad and dangerous spot. One night at the movies, Ponyboy and Johnny fall in love with Sherri and Marcia after they got Dally, the toughest of the Greasers to stop attempting to get with the girls. Sherri and Marcia are from the snobbish and rich group, the Socs but that doesn’t bother Johnny and Ponyboy from liking them. That night, after the movies, they went to the park and when the Soc’s were beating up on Ponyboy, the small and scared Johnny gets up and stabs a member of the Soc’s. After the stabbing that Johnny did they run away to a church in Windrixville and supply food for a week with only one gun and some money. After staying there for a week the church catches on fire and kids are inside. Johnny and Ponyboy risk their lives to save the kids and unfortunately Johnny dies a little bit after. Then they rumble with the Soc’s and win! They did it for Johnny and that’s what determined them to win.
A quote I liked from this book was …show more content…
I really enjoyed reading this book and feel that it is the best book to read. This is my favorite book I have ever read and after reading this I really liked the movie. I would give this story a 10/10 because it was a great story about a group of kids surviving on their own and trying to fit into their town. My favorite part was when they got into that big fight at the end. I liked this because they did it for Johnny plus they kicked the crap out of the Soc’s. I found this funny because they beat them up when the Soc’s thought they were going to win, but also a way to show love for Johnny because they did it for him and wanted to win for
