    Book Summary: The Outsiders By S. E. Hinton

    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.

    The Outsiders Book Report

    I chose the quote,"You cannot open a book without learning something" by the Irish proverb because I can relate it to my favorite book,"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton which taught me lots of stuff that I did not know about. The book is about a 14 year old named Ponyboy and his two brothers Darry who is 16 and Sodapop who is 20 years old. Darry is in charge of them due to both of his parents dying in a car accident. They are all greasers in a gang and often watch over Johnny ,who is another greaser, because his alcoholic parents abuse him. They also have a gang rivalry with the Socs who are rich and pick on the poor.…

    Critical Lens Essay On The Outsiders

    The quote in question is “All good is destined to be defeated.” The quote means, for every good guy, there is a bad guy. For every hero, there is a villain. Everyone who has ever tried to do something good has been destined to be stopped. The quote not only speaks for literature, but for everything. If you look from now, all the way back to ancient times, you will see examples of this in many works of literature. The book The Outsiders is a good representation of the quote.…

    Stay Gold Stay Gold Ponyboy Book Analysis

    For example, in the book when Ponyboy was talking with Cherry Valance, a Soc, they were talking about different things, and he remembered what had happened to Johnny, They talked about how bad some of the socs that came in a blue Mustang had beaten him up pretty badly. It all started when Johnny was in the vacant lot retrieving a football when some soc's got out of a blue mustang, caught him, and started beating him up. After that Day Johnny was a nervous and timid wreck. The difference is in the movie, The movie never covered that scene. Since they left that out, no one knows exactly why Johnny is so scared when it came to seeing that blue mustang and Bob, one of the Soc's getting out of the car. Either way in the book and the movie , when Bob and the other Soc's jump Johnny and Ponyboy in the park, Johnny kills Bob because he is scared that bob might drown Ponyboy. Another scene left out, is the scene when Cherry Valance and Ponyboy are standing in line for the concessions at the drive-in movie, and were talking. One of the topics was about Sodapop, who is Ponyboy's second oldest brother. The one thing that they said about him was when he had a horse named Mickey Mouse. The horse used to belong to a guy in a stable who he used to work for. So, Soda ended up naming it Mickey Mouse and would always ride the horse. But this was personal to him and it marked a point where Ponyboy trusted Cherry to just talk and wasn't nervous around her, the…

    Personal Reflection On The Outsiders

    In the eighth grade, my entire home room class was required to read The Outsiders. A novel about the events in the life of a 14-year-old boy named Ponyboy and the struggles he faced in his neighborhood. The entire book was to be read during our winter break in order to prepare us for a quiz we would receive the day we returned from break. During that time, I was never interested in reading and could never get through a book without losing interest. The odds of me ever completing an assigned book were immensely low. A book has never caught my attention the way The Outsiders did. It was the first time I had ever connected with the characters in a book. I felt as though I was in the book and was able to depict every detail that occurred in the…
