The Socs are from the west, and the Greasers are from the east. Financially, the Socs have the upper hand, and the Greasers have more trouble with money.…

known as S. E. Hinton, started writing The Outsiders when she was only fifteen years old. Little did she know, the book would win numerous awards and sell over 10 million copies.

Even though both the Greasers and Socs seem like the outsiders at times, the true outsiders are a group of individuals that work beyond the boundaries of a…

Author S.E. Hinton got the idea for the book, The Outsiders, when she was mad about the little situations going about her high school. Everyone would be in their own little groups and wouldn’t be friends with anyone but the group. Since she has written the book on these problems, Hinton has sold over 14 million copies and it has been made into a movie. In the book, there were many details on what Ponyboy, the main character, was thinking. It was more of what he was thinking than dialogue.…

Romeo & Juliet, West Side Story, and The Outsiders all share the same basic themes. One theme that stands out the most is the feuding that takes place between the two groups.
