This is so because at the time that it was first published, no one had ever written such a book about violence and the lower parts of society. It made people open their eyes and realize the growing conflicts between young adults during the time period.
you can read more books by se hinton that are something like the outsiders they also involve gangs1) Rumble Fish2) That Was Then, This Is Now3) Taming The Star Runner (not really involving gangs for this book)
Ugly nag old
there is no character named Erica in the book The Outsiders. sorry.
the rest of the greasers
Well, the movie, named after the book of course, is called the outsiders because:1) pony boy does feel like an outsidercompared to the other greasersbecause of his grades2) the greasers feel like outsiders compared to everyone else.Also the book is about how one child feels like he doesn't belong but then comes to realize he fits in exactly where he is.
The outsiders book is better because it is like the life for teens now and that there's groups like from the outsiders greasers, socs, etc.

Hinton names her book The Outsiders because Ponyboy and his gang were the 'outsiders'. They weren't like the Socs driving Mustangs. They just weren't wanted/accepted. They were just different than everyone else.
