I wish I had a family, i have one but it's not family .It's really sad, the only time i think we are family is when my father beats me up. That's all i’ve only ever grown up with. Mum, well is that's what you can call her… She does nothing to stop my father hitting me. My home is a vacant lot. My family are the greasers. We live on the East side of Tolia. Greasers, no money no class, clothes, just long greasy hair that's never been washed. That's okay, i can live with that, but i can't live with the rumbles no more...SHOOT. Nearly died some time ago.

    The setting takes place at a city in Oklahoma (Although the book never identifies the location but S.E. Hinton’s book prior to this one “The Outsiders” has characters such as Ponyboy Curtis therefore I am assuming it is the same location). Where the weather is considered normal for a fairly overpopulated city. During the time period of the 60’s where greasers, hippies and sox all strive for street cred and rule the streets in which the majority of people 's lives consist of poverty, carelessness, and troublemaking.

Because of Greasers like Dally the Socs judge all of them and make assumptions that they all act that way, which is wrong.…
