I have another favorite character. Her name is Cherry Valance. She is my favorite character because she is popular at school. I like her also because she is a cheerleader.

Summary: *!*The Outsiders*!*
Review: In my experience of reading "The Outsiders" I think that this book needs 5 starts from everyone. I think it is a grate book because I can relate. For example when Ponyboy's friend Johnny dies, I can relate by having someone special to me die. I also in enjoyed the rivalry. For example now (today) the U.S. is in war with Afghanistan. This book also was grate b/c it informed you about the two different clicks. The Socs (Socials) and the Greasers. We don't have they many gangs, but we do have clicks called the popular kids and the non-popular kids. There are my three most important reasons I liked the book "The Outsiders"!

Summary: Hopefully, this will help you.
Review: "The Outsiders" is a book for all ages. It tells the life of Ponyboy Curtis, who is a Greaser,and focuses on the conflict shared between the Socs and the Greasers, two neighbourhood gangs. The Socs are very rich, and the Greasers are mostly hoods - apart from Ponyboy, his best friend Johnny, and Pony's two elder brothers, Darry and Sodapop. Pony's parents were killed in a car-crash when he was young. Darry,20, got a job so Soda and Pony wouldn't go into a boy's home. Soda and Pony have always got along well, but Darry is always shouting at Pony, telling him to use his head. One night, Darry hits him, so Pony runs away with Johnny. 5 Socs gang up on the two life-long friends, and almost kill Ponyboy. Johnny accidently ends up killing Bob, the leader of the gang, and boyfreind to a girl Soc called Cherry Valence. Dallas Winston tells them to hide out in an abandoned church in Windrixville, but it catches fire. Johnny, Pony and Dally manage to get some school kids out of the fire, but Jonhhy is hit by a falling beam and ends up with a broken back. The greasers try to avenge Johnny's near-death by having a rumble with the Socs. Johnny dies in hospital, his last words being "Stay gold Pony, stay Gold...". Dally then manages to get himself killed by the cops under a streetlight, and everyone is grieving the death of two good friends. The only happy point in the story is the fact that Darry and Pony start to get along fine. Whenever they have a fight now, Soda agets really broken up, so they stop. This book isn't one bit depressing, it's really good fun.
I thouroughly enjoyed this book, and became a typical soppy girl when Johnny and Dally died. My class also saw it on video, and all the girls cried their eyes out! I hope you enjoy yourselves like us!!!!!!! SE Hinton really went into the depth and feeling of the events in this book, and managed to include so much description that you could connect with the characters. I'd buy the video as well, that really brings it to life. It really opens your eyes to how bad things really are in most parts of the world. It also contains humor, which will keep you going the the sad times! Good reading all over!
At the end of term, we had to write the whole book from Johnny's point of view, instead of Pony's. I enjoyed the depth of the feeling in the book so much, that I ended up getting an A*! Thanks SE Hinton!!!!!

Summary: Challenges in Life
Review: Yes, I loved this book because the same things happened to me. It helped me understand my life in a better way. You can relate to a lot of issues in this book. For example: Prejudice, family, friendships, and losing people your deeply close to.

Darry, Soda, Ponyboy and the rest of the gang went through a lot, they lost ones they loved, fought for what they believed in, or they had to drop out of school. They went through more tough times then some people will by their 30th birthday.

Yes, I would recommend this book to anybody who loves drama, action, anything they are interested in. This book can be for young and old. It doesn't matter because this is a great book!

Summary: Friendship
Review: I really like The Outsiders, it was a very touching story, and the only reason I didn't give it five stars is because some parts in the book are reptitive.

This book really demonstrates friendship. Even the Curtis boys are more friends than they are brothers. Also, each friend has a special place or has a certain something in the group. Not one character doesn't show friendship in one form or another.

I would definetely recommend this book. It is a very passionate book. This is a classic to add to anyone's library of books.

Summary: Friendship
Review: I liked the book because it showed how three brothers survive together with no parents and a gang that cares about one another. They weren't a mean gang. It told how they faced their hard trials.

The theme I picked was friendship because I felt the book showed a great amount of friendship. The greasers and socs aren't friends but the relationship between all of the greasers is amazing. They are so caring, concerned and helpful with one another. I think that is good.

I would recommend this book because it could help people who have lost someone important (like Ponyboy did) realize everything's going to be ok.
