The Outsiders Book Report

The Outsiders has been a great book I read this term. This book was written by S.E. Hinton and the Genre we can say it is Young Author Fiction. The book is written in first person by the main character known as Pony Boy, I like how he talks since his always thinking whats gonna happen next so it makes me continue reading.

The story starts when Ponyboy gets jumped by the Socs. The Socs are a gang of rich kids, they are kind of rival the Greasers and the Socs. But when Pony gets jumped the Greasers come and help him. This gang is formed by the not so rich teens on it Ponyboy is the youngest (14). Ponyboy has a friend called Johnny that he describes as a lost poppy kicked many times lost in a crowd of strangers. There is also Dally which lived 3 years on New York and got tough there. Ponyboy has 2 brothers Sodapop and Darry. Soda is happy-go-lucky and as pony describes him he always seems to be drunk on plain life. Darry is kind of like the head for the family since their parents died he has been leading the family, he also seems to be really strict with Ponyboy due to this Pony does not like Darry a lot.

After pony gets jumped the greasers come help and get the socs out of there. Dally was going to the movies and invites the gang only Pony and Johnny go with him. Once on the movies Dally starts to “tease” the girls that were sitting on front of them. Dally gets a coke and gives it to the girl and she throws it a her. Johnny tells Dally to stop and Dally goes away, then Pony and Johnny meet the girls known as Cherry and Marcia. Once there out of the movies the socs come and tell them why they are messing with their girls so they had to let them go. After that they go to the parking lot and Pony and Johnny fall asleep when Pony wakes up he goes to his house and Darry hits him because he was mad at the hour he was coming. Due to this they run Johnny and Pony to the park.

On the park they see a blue mustang coming and they knew it was the Socs. The socs try to drown Pony but Johnny kills a socs and they run away. They go and ask Dally for help and they run away and reach a abandoned church which they will be using as a shelter. Dally one day comes and they go and eat but once they return to the church it is on fire. There were kids inside it so Pony and Johnny went there and saved many of them but they got badly injured. They go to the hospital and Johnny is not on a really good condition. Also there is gonna be a rumble in some days with the Socs. They got to the rumble and win it but that day also when Dally and Pony go to the hospital Johnny dies his last words were “Stay Gold” to Ponyboy.  Then Dally goes and robs a store and gets shot he was totally destroyed by Johnny's death. Ponyboy goes to court because of the killed socs and gets to live again with his brothers.

I like this book and this is not my first time reading it. I feel them theme is union because the gang is always united and together. Somehow I sometimes which I was like Pony like the youngest because like in my family I'm the biggest brother, cousin so Im always the one that everyone is counting as an example to follow. This book is great and I recommend it to anyone.

Outsiders Who I Find More Interesting

The character I find more interesting is Johnny, he seems the most innocent guy in the world. What I like about him is his courage to use the switchblade and kill a Soc, so his friend PonyBoy was not murdered.

Short Answer Questions

1. Some practical things Ponyboy and Johnny were supplies and they cut and painted their hairs.

2. Some of the things the boys did to pass time were: read, smoke, played cards, saw the sunset.

3. The visitor that came to see them was Dallas. He brought a letter from Soda to Pony and half of his paycheck.

Journal Entry

Today Mr. Jeremy read the book the outsiders and told us to descrive one of the characters and I got Sodapop. So lets begin, Sodapop is handsome guy which is a brother from Darry and Ponyboy. Ponyboy says Soda is one of a kind , also he never drinks but he seems drunk by plain living.

Word Verification =( Bye Bye

Wow long day so people understand to me we lost so many class time because they did not pay attention my to theory. But let me get it straight so basically we were having problems with the comments on not being publish and Mr. Jeremy wanted to remove Word Verification which we did. But I still disagree about that because of spam. Also then he was trying to fix some comment settings but he ended screwing the settings. So then I finally was able to be picked and explained what Mr. Jeremy had to do and we fixed it.

P.S. Don´t forget all my entries are from my point of view.

See ya soon,
