the young adult reading selection of the 1960’s from fake sugar-coated novels to actual real-life issues? Ask S.E. Hinton because she did exactly that at the young age of 15. Hinton wrote the life-changing young adult novel The Outsiders‚ about things that she witnessed as a teenaged girl whom some would call a “Greaser”. How much courage it must have taken Hinton to write a book that was the first of its kind‚ and at such a young age! Truly‚ S.E. Hinton is a woman full of inspiration who continues

BOOK REPORT: "The Outsiders" 1. Hinton‚ S.E. The Outsiders. New York: Puffin Books‚ 1967 2. The title of this book relates to the story‚ because in the book‚ Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums‚ like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town‚ and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different

Though I usually prefer science fiction and fantasy‚ reading The Outsiders was a phenomenal experience. The story line is good‚ but what sparked my interest is how S. E. Hinton‚ who was 16 at the time she created this‚ writes. Everything flows smoothly‚ and with so much detail. You get to know the characters so well it’s hard to believe the story just covers one week of their lives. This book is extremely hard to put down. The Outsiders is about a gang of “greasers‚” or underprivileged teenagers‚

The movie The Outsiders by S.E Hinton and the book were very different from each other. Ponyboy‚ Johnny‚ and Dally are three characters that I noticed were the most different. These three are part of a gang called “Greasers” along with four others. In the book‚ Ponyboy has a good relationship with is brother Sodapop but doesn’t get along well with his oldest brother Darry. He is a good reader as well as successful in track. In the movie he still has a good relationship with Sodapop‚ but he gets along

However‚ when you think about and interpret these words‚ they have a very deep meaning.
