The Outsiders

by S. E. Hinton Year Published: 1967

In Ponyboy’s world there were two types of people.  You could be a soc, one of the rich society kids, and get away with anything.   Or if you weren’t lucky you could be a greaser, like he was.   Living on the outside, Ponyboy knew where his loyalties lay: with his brothers Darry and Soda, and with Johnny and their gang.

            Hanging out at Darry’s house, where they made their own rules, or rumbling with the socs, it was the best of times.  Until Johnny went too far.  Defending Ponyboy’s life, Johnny pulled a knife…and a soc was dead.  Johnny and Pony were on the run, but they couldn’t escape the violence they left behind.
