Summary: The Outsiders
Review: S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders is a strong hearted story about different gangs and /or types of people that are separated by their social classes. Ponyboy, the narrator of the story, along with Soda Pop and Dally are members of the lower class gang. Throughout the story, Ponyboy is torn upon a few difficult decisions, which are all based upon being lower class. The "Soc" the higher classed gang is constantly causing trouble with the lower class boys the "Greasers." Many things result from the conflict between these two gangs to form the outcome of a great novel.

Summary: For the people who sed this book stunk....
Review: U sed that dere's too much violence and smoking... but thats not the whole point of dis story guys.. its not about a gang who loves smoking and killing people. its about 7 guys trying to survive in a tough neighborhood. 7 guys who trust and rely on each other, stick up for each other, and help each other out. if u even have 1 friend who was as loyal to u as much as johnny is to ponyboy, ur one of the luckiest people alive. thank the dude the next time u see em. who of all ur friends would let u come in anytime ur parents get (mad) at u? im 13 years old, and i really havent read a lot of books, but ive never heard or read any book like this. there are a lot of bits where they say stuff like weed, and rumbles, but its all the truth. thats how life is for those kinda people. and dey cant do nothing about that... neither can s e hinton... neither can u or me. they say this book was too violent, but that is the real world, like it or lump it. just like two-bit had sed... if u think this book is too violent, ur the ones who are tricking urselves. ur the ones hiding from reality. i thought this was an exellent book, and i dont intend to change ur minds about this book. but really i think thats not a good enough reason to hate a book. because its too violent. thats like saying its too real. ur not supposed to feel sorry for ponyboy. and this book has a moral. nothing's better than bein a hero. and having people who care about u. and for the posting guys, i reely dun blame u for not putting this up because its lecturous, but id really apreciate it if u did put it up. i really couldnt stand reading all those comments about how violent it was...

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: The novel The Outsiders written by S.E Hinton, is a moving and touching story. The main character in this story is Ponyboy Curtis. He is a part of a gang named the Greasers, which is the low social group in this small town. The next gang is the Socs. It is made up of rich boys who are rarely suffer consequences of the things that they do.
S.E. Hinton uses many writing techniques to show what kind of people the characters are. He uses lots of dialog and an extensive vocabulary to develop the characters. He uses descriptive words to create a feeling for the place and time. He even uses the names of the gangs to show what kind of people belong to them.
Throughout this novel Ponyboy and his friends show amazing daring. Ponyboy and his two brothers, Darrel and Soda, show a remarkable amount of love for each other. Since their parents died in a car accident they have to stick together. Darrel serves as the father figure for Soda and Ponyboy. He keeps everything in line and never gives up on his brothers. Ponyboy and his best friend, Johnny, demonstrate the power of loyalty when they are jumped by the Socs; Johnny has to kill one of the Socs with a knife to keep them from drowning Ponyboy. They run away together so that Johnny will not be caught. They show their courage by going into a burning church to save some small children, an event that eventually costs Johnny his life. Once again, the protagonists demonstrate bravery and selflessness.
I think this book is great. It is a moving novel in which courage and friendship are illustrated over and over. The characters in this story stick together and become like a family. If you are looking for a moving novel that shows power of the human soul, this is the book for you.

Summary: The Outsiders, What a real life story!
Review: I have just finished reading The Outsider novel and I have just one word, Wow! What an ending. I never thought the book would end like that. S.E. Hinton seems to have captured a somewhat real life story of a teenage boy who is caught in the most unbelieveable situation. A must read for everyone!

Summary: The Outsiders- An Excellent Book
Review: I thought The Outsiders was a great book. It's a real page turner and really relates to real life. The part I really liked was it was written by a teenager, S.E. Hinton. The author wrote it so people my age could relate to it and we could read it easier since it was written on our point of view.
The Outsiders is about life. How you can live on either the bad or good side of the tracks which determines whether your a greaser or a soc. The greasers are regular people only they dress differently and aren't great off money wise. The socs are high class kids with a lot of money and too much freedom. The socs and greasers have always been enemies and are always getting into fights with each other. One great thing about the greasers is they are like one big family. For example, Johnny and Ponyboy get into a bad fight and a soc ends up being killed. A friend of theirs helps them escape police and hide out until things cool down. That just goes to show how tight they are with each other. They risk their lives and freedom for each other.
I definitely recommend this book to all teenagers. Even if you don't like to read you'll love this book. It really touched me and I wish more people knew how things aren't always how they seem. To let them realize they shouldn't take everything for granted. I know I do now that I've read this book. I really hope hope teenagers all over will read this book and like it as much as I did.

Summary: This is a quality read.
Review: The Outsiders was a quality read. This was a very good book beacuse it showed how people are really treated by the way they look. In this book the Socs were the upper class, and the Greasers are the lower class. It shows how life is in the lower class people in the city. For example, if a Soc was caught with a Greaser girl he would be beat up. Also, Greasers have to go to their own bars and stores. And whenever they are not in their own hang outs they get jumped by the Socs.I think that everyone should read this book.Even though this is a fast read, it really is a classic.

Summary: Why to read the book The Outsiders
Review: I have read and insane number of books in my day and I am only 15 years old, some so incredibly moving and some so horrible they make me cry. When I read the outsiders it seemed to me that i was in the story, I could feel what the authors was writing about or trying to say in this book, that is how good S.E. Hinton wrote the book The Ousiders. So if you have not read the great boot The Outsiders i recomend that you go to your local library and check it out or buy it.
