Abstract
When it was first published in 1967, The Outsiders struck an immediate chord with a generation of readers. Defying convention, the groundbreaking novel became a touchstone of honesty and excellence in its genre. Thirty years later, with over eight million copies sold, the story speaks to young adults today as powerfully as it ever did.
Description
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 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 Ponyboy were on the run, but they couldn't escape the violence they left behind.
