Summary: The Outsiders
Review: The Outsiders is an interesting book about a gang but its main focus is Pony boy. Pony boy is his real name, his father was very creative. Pony boy has two brothers, one is Darry, and the other is Soda Pop. Their mother and father died in car wreck, so Darry and Soda Pop work at a gas station. The other members of the gang are Two bit, Jonny, and Dallas. I recommend that you read as the gang gets into trouble. But the best part is that there are no commercials and if you need to take a break no problem. This is a great book. It kept me laughing, crying, and thrilled all at the same time.

Review: The Outsiders is a very good book. It is about two gangs, the Socs and the Greasers. It took place in the 1950's in the South West. Pony Boy is the main charater in the book. Heand his friends are always getting jumped and beaten by Socs. When Pony Boy meets two female Socs, their real trouble begins. I reccommend this book to any one who's looking for a good book with excitement.

Summary: Extraordinary Insight.
Review: Leave it to a gifted sixteen-year-old to decipher in such clear and compelling fashion the powerful motivations of adolescent existence. The Outsiders is a sophisticated, moving, gripping tale of teenage angst, peer pressure, ignorance, and self-discovery. Rarely do readers connect faster or more completely than with Hinton's "Ponyboy" character. The realism and emotion of this book are astounding. It's not a fluffy, feel-good book for kids. It's at the other end of the spectrum from Harry Potter fantasy. This is full-contact fiction dealing with the everyday drama and trauma today's kids witness or worry about: family, friends, school, violence, police, gangs, love, loyalty, fear, and aspirations. This one leaves a mark. Bravo! --Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of Wake Up Dead.

Summary: This Book Was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I totally loved this book. Ths book touched me deeply. Parts of it i think you have to be a teen to understand. I read it when some people might have though i was to young.(when i was 12) but I think i was ready for it. i think this is a book that if your not old enough for it you won't like it and won't keep reading it. its one of my favorites. I saw the movie which i thought cut out some very important parts. I think this book can be read many times over and it will continue to touch you. and awaken a part of you that says my life is easy my life could be so much worse.And teens look at it and say there are people like that out there cuz as a teen you see them at school hanging around and this book covers a sensitive subject. the other thing i liked about this book was the strong sense of friendship it was almost always there and i think that's what helped the kids get as far as they did.I think that if you are in 6th grade or abive and you are pretty mature you can read this book adn love it iknow i did.

Summary: The Outsiders
Review: There are many events in The Outsiders that are believable. In the book, the Greasers and the Socs are against each other and sometimes get into fights. Like the Greasers and the Socs, some teens are like that today, as teens, in our generation. Some teenagers smoke and drink, just like in The Outsiders. Most teens drink and smoke, etc. because they are pressured, having problems at school or home, or just because they want to be cool and fit in. Like Sodapop in The Outsiders, alot of teenagers drop out of school because "they have better things to do". Some kids drop out for family problems, etc. There are many things you could compare The Outsiders to a teenager's everyday life. THE END! By: Mika and Angie

Review: Ponyboy is one of the smartest kids in the book.The first thing that he did is he listen to Dally. The Second thing he did is that he made good grades in school. The Third thing he did is he saved the kids from the burning church. The Last thing he did is that he tried to cool off when Darry hit him.This is why Ponyboy is one of the smartest kids in the book.

Review: Courage is clealy a theme in "The Outsiders". It really took Johnny a lot of courage to kill Bob because if that was me, I would of just ran away. I took tons of courage for Ponyboy and Johnny to go into the church to save the children because if it wasn't for them the children would of died. It also took Dally a lot of courage to show up to the rumble in the condition that he was in. It took a lot of courage for Ponyboy to bluff the Socs with the broken bottle. Courage is a good thing to help you stick by your friends.

Review: Ponyboy does the right thing. He does the right thing when he jumps in the church and saves the kids. He also tries to do all his assignments and keeping up his grades. He does the right thing by being a friend to Jonny. The final thing he does right is when he bleaches his hair and cuts it off so Pony and Jonny wont get caught by the cops. These are the four things we think Ponyboy did right.

Review: There are many bad things that happen in the story. First Ponyboy and Johnny save the children in the burning church. Next the Greasers and the socs have a rumble. Finaly Johnny dies at the hospital. In fact Johnny had stabbed Bab, one of the Socs, to death. As you can see the Outsiders has bad events.
