Description
Darry, Sodapop, Ponyboy, and Y/n Curtis are all siblings whom recently lost their parents in an auto-accident. Now they're orphans, making Darry take on all the household responsibilities. The four Curtis siblings call themselves members of the greasers, a gang thats in between the middle class and lower class of society. The Outsiders is about two weeks in the life of a 14-year-old boy. The novel tells the story of Ponyboy Curtis (and his family),and his struggles with right and wrong in a society in which he believes that he is an outsider. According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy and Y/n's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.
