Similar to Edgar Allan Poe, S.E. Hinton’s writing was as well impacted from various events in her life. Hinton was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the setting in The Outsiders, in 1948. She was always an outsider herself in several ways. For instance, she had no desire to fit with a group and she was unlike most other girls she knew. Hinton enjoyed playing sports and hung around with guys, which she hadn’t initially thought were greasers. This inspired Ponyboy and his unique aspects of life, alongside the rest of the greasers.
