The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a realistic fiction book about a boy named Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy's parents are dead and he lives with his two brothers: Sodapop and Darry. The brothers live in a poor part of Tulsa Oklahoma and hang around with a crowd that to most people would be more than a little questionable. The people they hand out with are refered to as the greasers, from their hair. The greasers are at 'war' with the socs, or socials: the rich kids. The socs jump the greasers all the time. However, one time when the socs jump Ponyboy and one of his buddies, Johnny, kills a soc. This epic adventure changes Ponyboy's life forever.
