Sherri and Marcia are from the snobbish and rich group, the Socs but that doesn’t bother Johnny and Ponyboy from liking them.

    The outsiders movie and novel have many differences and similarities. I have only written about two of each but it is always fun to go back and look for more There is a hug variation between the two, the tiny details were precisely the same. The Outsiders is about a group of kids that are all different some are greasers, which have the leather jackets and the slicked back hair, and there are the Socs, they are the rich kids of town and are more dressed up then the greasers are. One way that the book is different from the movie is that the movie didn't say anything about Sodapop, the main character's older brother, wanting to get married to a girl when she is out of school and in the book there is a few pages about how much Soda loves…

    Who does not love an extremely action packed book with lovable characters and a great ending? The outsides by S.E. Hinton not only offers an extremely interesting and heartbreaking climax, but it also includes a smooth flowing detail packed story line. This amazing book has a tremendous plot; two groups of gangs, Greasers and Socs, are constantly battling and bickering.

    The Outsiders book is a great book that is action packed, joke filled, and great for imagination. In the book it shows the hardship of the “Greasers” lives versus the hardships of the “Socs” lives which were supposedly much easier. It also shows the thoughts that ran through Ponyboy's head as and after he was helping the kids safely out of the burning church. In the book, Sodapop looks the best by far. “Soda is handsomer than anyone I know (Hinton 7).” Johnny is just a scrawny little boy. Ponyboy has long greased back hair. “My hair is longer than a lot of boys (Hinton 1).” Darry looks tough and mean. Dally is hard,…

    The title of this book relates to the story, because in the book, Ponyboy and Johnny are "outsiders." They can be thought of as Outsiders because they are labeled Greasers although they do not act like hoodlums, like the rest of the Greasers. They are thought of as Greasers just because they live on the East Side of town, and because they slick back their hair. But Ponyboy and Johnny are different then all of the other Greasers because they show their emotions, and are sensitive.…

    Dear Megan, I am currently reading the book The Outsiders, and while reading I concluded that it would be the perfect fit for you. I have known you for the greater part of my life and you have been in all of my reading/LA classes (up until this year), therefore, I know what kind of books you enjoy and I expect this would be one of them. I trust you would enjoy this book because it has segregation, high stakes, and strong friends and family bonds. I know these are specific qualities that you have enjoyed in previous books, so based on this I believe you should give this one a try! Now before I tell you to just go on and read it, I feel it is necessary for me to give you some background knowledge about this book. The Outsiders features…
