The Outsiders

Heyy! =)
Our new book for this week is.....(DRUM ROLL PLEASE)......... The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton!

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's skin, causing his world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser.

 Ponyboy always learn things the hard way like;

• There's no place like home.
• Family isn't just by blood. 
• Everybody has pain and feels emotions.
• and mostly life always has its challengers. 

Ponyboy Curtis is an orphan and lives with his brothers (Darry and Sodapop Curtis) and their gang.
(Two-bit Mathews, Steve Randle, Dallas Winston a.k.a Dally, and lastly Johnny Cade a.k.a Johnny Cake.)
 Being a greaser sure isn't easy and with Darry being hardcore all the time, and the socs closing in makes life tough. Ponyboy accepts what life throws at him, but when his best friend Johnny Cake murders someone to save Ponyboy life's really a challenge!

The outsiders is my all time favourite book! I definitely recommend it! The outsiders is so moving and is the best ever! I've  read over and over again and cried every time I've read, even though I know what's going to happen! S.E Hinton is an amazing author and the outsiders is one amazing book!!
