Brief Summary Of The Book 'The Outsiders'

The Outsiders is a book based on a gang called the Greasers, it takes place in Oklahoma during the year of 1966. All throughout this book, the Greasers have different conflicts with the Socs, their rival gang. The story revolves around Ponyboy, the narrator and also the youngest of the group. Some other main characters include Darry, Sodapop, Johnny, Dally, Two-Bit, Bob, Cherry, and Randy. While I was reading this book, I developed some favorite characters and some that I didn’t like too much. My absolute favorite character in this book is Two-Bit because he is very funny, easy to relate to, and I knew how he felt just by the way he talks. I also really like Darry, Sodapop, Johnny, Dally, and Randy. I liked Darry, Dally, and Randy because even though they didn’t always act like it, especially Dally, I could tell that they both had a good heart. Cherry and Bob were some of my least favorite characters because they didn’t do things for the right reasons and most of the stuff they said wasn’t sincere.

He and his brothers all held lots of hope that he would finish school and go on to do something better with his life instead of ending up like them. Ponyboy was very smart and always found a way to show his creativity. I have good grades and high standards, hopes, and dreams for myself. If I compare our personalities, we actually are quite similar. Ponyboy was funny, smart, and nice and he had lots of worries, accomplishments, things he was proud of, wanted to do, and just wanted to be loved. I relate to almost all of those things and to more of his character traits
