I selected the book The Outsiders by S.E.Hinton because it was about two different kinds of people and how they do and dont geet along in their society. Before it began it told about the greasers and the socs. Then the narator started talking about himself and his brothers Darrel and Sodapop. Darrel is always working and is really hard on ponyboy about his grades and everything he does. Soda is Ponyboys favorite brother he sticks up for him when Darry yells at him. Both the boys mother and father died and Darrel the oldest brother takes care of them. All the greasers are really close and always look out for each other. Some of the greasers are Steve, Two-Bit, Dallas, Johnny. The story started by telling us one of the young greaser boys, Johnny Ponyboys best friend, getting jumped by a bunch of Scoc. When they found Johnny hes was in the vacant lot half contious with a bunch of cuts and bruises. The story is being told by Ponyboy Curtis. The setting is in a little suburban town in the past. The setting is important because if the story took place some where else it would be different because these people didnt live in other places or this time period. The first problem the main character faces is when Ponyboy was walking home from the movies a car full of socs jumped him and had a blade to his face. Luckily Darrel, Sodapop, and the rest of the crew saved him and chased the socs off or it would have been way worse. The author holds your attention and interest by keeping the action going and always keeping you on your toes not knowing what is going to happen next. So far this is a really good book and i cant wait to finish reading it. 306words
