S.E. Hinton based The Outsiders on her life. When she grew up she had friends that were in a gang and that were called "Greasers". S.E. Hinton didn't know her friends were hoods until a Soc came and yelled "Greaser" at her friends. She started to write a story about the differences between the Socs and the Greasers. In case your wondering there is no real life Johnny Cade, Ponyboy, Sodapop "Soda", and Darryl "Darry" Curtis, or Dallas "Dally" Winston, Two-Bit Mathews, or Steve Randle. There also was no real life Sherri "Cherry" Valance, Marcia, Bob, or Randy. But there was a real life gang called Greasers and a real people that are called Socs.
