In Tulsa, Oklahoma in the 1960s there is tension between the classes. Rich Socs and low class Greasers. This is a story about a 14 year old greaser boy, named Ponyboy, growing up in such tensions with his brothers and his gang. When something happens after Ponyboy and a friend come home from the drive in theater, all of their lives turn upside down.
As I said before this is one of my favorite books. I can relate to the characters well. I am not a high class girl and the boys described in the book remind me of any boys next door where I am from. "The Outsiders" actually made me cry you'll have to read to find out why though. Sorry.
I would recommend this coming of age story to any class or age after 11. Just remember to Stay Gold and dream on my fellow working class citizens.
