First impressions of the book 'The Outsiders'


My first impression on the book 'The Outsiders' is that it is a very well written book. The book posses many qualities a good book should have. The writer S.E Hinton has a way of writing that just sucks you in. 

So far the book is about a young boy, the age of 14 who is a 'greaser'. He talks about his troubles and life throughout the book. The book pretty much revolves around Ponyboy, the main character and his group of friends 'the gang'. The story is about two different groups... One that is given everything and the other who has to work for it. In the novel these two groups are called the socs 'the socials' and the greasers. I think you guys can figure out which are the trust fund kids and the low class. 

I find that when reading the book the more you get into it, the more you don't want to put it down. The book seems to be set in the early 60's or late 50's as the book shows the difference of how they grew up and how they would present themselves. For example how they would dress and the way they would talk. 

Reading the book so far i predict that there will soon be a big brawl between the two groups and someone might possible get severely hurt. I look forward to finishing the book.
