The Outsiders Script
Summer Skies

Disclaimer: No, silly, I never have nor will I ever own The Outsiders. S.E. Hinton owns The Outsiders. *sighs* :( I simply borrow them for my own creative enjoyment purposes.

A/N: In the middle of a sweltering August day, an accident occurs that neither Darry nor Ponyboy planned, but shows them that they might not be as different as they think.

~ Mid August, 1966 ~

Wednesday

"Race you home, kid!" Two-Bit challenged as they started their walk home from school. A monthly teacher's meeting was taking place, which meant that school was cut short, leaving Two-Bit in an exceptionally good mood.

"Oh, you're on, Two-Bit."

Ponyboy bent down into his position while Two-Bit copied sloppily. "Ready....set...."

Two-Bit took off running before Ponyboy got a chance to say go.

"Two-Bit!" Ponyboy complained loudly as he began to

His leg felt like it was being burnt with acid from the inside out, and to keep from crying in front of his teammates he bit down on his lip so hard he tasted blood.

"Curtis!" His coach appeared in Ponyboy's field of vision, his face full of concern. "Can you stand at all?"

Without even testing it, Ponyboy shook his head. He knew he wouldn't be able to. He found himself rocking back and forth slightly as he brought his good leg to his chest, trying in any and all ways possible to deal with the pain, to make it subside to a bearable level.

"Alvarez, get the nurse out here with a wheelchair," Coach Wireman instructed before calming telling Ponyboy to try and take a deep breath. Ponyboy tried to, but he ended up just choking on a strangled sob.

After an agonizingly long wait, the nurse appeared, wheelchair in tow. The coach helped Ponyboy stand up and maneuver into the wheelchair, and then it was practice as usual as the nurse wheeled Ponyboy over to the curb, away from everyone

    Darry is responsible enough to keep Pony here is why. “Pony, where have you been all this time?”he meant”Pony, you had me scared to death.

    Did you know that most of the children in foster care suffer from mental illness. I think that children should be able to stay with their parents, because it’s healthier for them to be with their families. Children who grow up in foster care do not always receive the education they need to support themselves efficiently. When children in foster care age out at the age of eighteen many find it difficult to support themselves. Ponyboy is better of with Darry, because he is a good guardian, and it should be Ponyboy's choice to stay with Darry or go to the foster care system’. Ponyboy should stay with Darry, because he looks out for him. ‘If you get in a jam holler and I will get you out”. This quote supports my perspective, because Darry cares for Ponyboy and that's why he’s so hard on him. Another way this supports my perspective is that Darry doesn't like it when Ponyboy smokes. “Ponyboy Curtis put out that cigarette you know there’s no smoking in bed”. This show’s my perspective, because Darry saw…

    However, The Outsiders movie was very interesting, the novel portrayed the story line better in my opinion. For one the novel is more detailed such as when Johnny got jumped by Bob and three of his Soc friends, but the movie does not. Also, the novel describes in chapter 4 page 53 that there is a swimming pool at the park but they movie shows nothing about there being a pool there. In addition, the novel also states when Dallas Winston takes Ponyboy and Johnny to Dairy Queen they sit in the Restaurant, but in the movie, they do not. Lastly, those are the few reasons why the novel is better than the movie.…

    Although there is reasons to read “The Outsiders” some may still argue not to read it at our age and level. Stephen May, a reviewer, argued that there was too much violence and gang related topics. But if you look out your window today or simply walk down the street you see violence and graffiti on bridges and walls. A student at Lone Star Elementary in California wrote that she didn’t like being exposed to all the references to alcohol, drugs and sex. But eventually you are going to be exposed to those things if students have already not, it’s a part of growing up.…
