Pony, Soda and Darry are greasers. A group of poor teenagers. Their gang are all greasers, Dally the leader; Two-bit, the oldest of the gang; Steve, Soda’s best friend and Johnny, the gangs pet. They have hard lives or been through some bad stuff/moments. There is this other group, which are against the Greasers, this ones are wealthy and rich teenagers, the Socs. They often like to beat the greaser up just for fun.
One day Johnny was walking when suddenly a group of Socs appear. One hit him, the worst part was that his was wearing heavy rings. Late on, Dally, PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie. in front of them, there were two beautifull girls enjoying the movie. Cherry and Marcia. Socs. They have a good time together. When they were going toward home, Cherry Soc boyfriend “Bob” appear. Turns out that Bob was the guy that has beaten up Johnny back then. It was late by then, when PonyBoy arrived home, Darry was furious at him, they started fighting. Pony felt so bad that he decided to run to the park with Johnny just to be away from home. In the park Bob and his gang of Socs saw them and they started hitting them and stuff. Johnny took out his blade and accidentally stabbed Bob until he died. Johnny and Pony were scared and they went with Dally so he could give them advice. Dally told them go to a church out of town for a couple of days. They stayed there talking to each other about poetry. They get along pretty well. Dally came over to visit. Johnny and Ponyboy wanted to admit to the police that they were the guilty ones of what happened to Bob. But the church catches fire. They saved a few children and then... you should read the book if you want to know what happened.
This book is written in 1st person. Ponyboy tells the story. It is a fiction book, and it is drama. This is really an interesting and fun reading book. While I was reading this book, I think everything was happening so slow, but at the same time, in one chapter it came a lot of different things.
The main characters are Ponyboy, Sodapop, Dally, Darry and Johnny. Ponyboy, the story is from his point of view. He has light brown, almost-red long hair and greenish-gray eyes, intelligent, small, good build and 14 years old. Sodapop sixteen-going-on-seventeen,always happy, handsome, slimmer, dark-gold hair, dark eyes and he undesrtand eveyone. Dally is never sorry, looks like his father, but acts the opposite, broad-shoulders and muscular, dark brwon hair, blue-green eyes and he looks older, cool, smart. Johnny 16 years old, black eyes, his father abuse of him, looks like 14, gangs pet, jet black hair, and dark skin color. And Dally is my own personal favorite he is rebel, white blond hair, ice-nblue eyes, long hair, jumps little kids, dangerour mood and big. The other caracthers are minor like, Steve, Two-bit, Cherry, Tim, Bob and Randy.
