fit into and how you act in that group. What you do and how you do it. For instance look at the book The Outsiders, the greasers and socs gave each other identities that they didn’t like each other. The reason the greasers gave the socs this identity was because the only time that they saw the socs was when they were drunk and looking for a fight. That socs gave the greasers a bad identity also…

There were even gangs in the 60s called Greasers and Socs. The book that I am talking about is called the Outsiders about two gangs Greasers and Socs.

Pony didn’t think when he went into that burning Church after those kids because he could have died but he got lucky and didn’t. Another reason he…

carry on with them. They might do the activities they learn from the book in real life. The book The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, should be put on a banned book list because it puts the wrong ideas in kids’ heads about what reality is really like. The Greasers and the Socs are two gangs that promote violence. If kids read The Outsiders they might think it's ok to fight or they might think fighting is cool (why wouldn't they think that if there teachers are literally handing them the book that is…

To begin, a book that can be compared with Jurassic Park would be Fahrenheit 451 by the author Ray…
