Introduction to The Outsiders

The book i’m reading is called The Outsiders, the book is based on the 50’s and 60’s . TheĀ  town is small and mostly sunny , but the boys like the night because it makes them feel dangerous. The boys have no curfew unlike me, i have to be inside when the street likes turn on, in my opinion which i think is dumb. There is a whole gang called the “Greasers” and the rival gang called the “socs”. The two gangs hate each other, which means there is a lot of violence.

My main character is pony boy, he is apart of the gang but he is the one who is different. When pony boy was young he lost his mom and dad, so he grew up with his 2 brothers, Soda and Darry. Pony boy is shy and peaceful, unlike the others, they are all loud and outgoing. Pony boy rather be alone either reading a book or watching a movie, while the others flirting with girls causing commotion. But the Socs don’t like any of the “greasers” including the shy ones so pony boy still gets himself banged up once in awhile.
