The title of the book I am reviewing is "The Out Siders"
ReplyDeleteOn my opinion, I think this book was amzing! It was filled with a perfect amount of everything, Drama, Violence, Humour, everything that keeps a reader reading is in this book.
The outsiders is a fiction book by S.E. HINTON. The beginning of this book is just like any other beginning, it's introducing the main characters. But in The Out Siders it introduces the characters in a very, very special way. The book is mainly based around a war between greasers, and socs, and who has the guts to overcome the other.
Greasers versus socs, socs versus greasers. Its a very simple reason why there all fighting, they don't like each other... The same way a dog doesn't like a cat, or a cat doesn't like a mouse. The greasers are pretty much a bunch of boys that don't like to follow the rules. There usual appearal is, tight leather jackets, jeans, tennis or bowling shoes, and the most important thing... the thing that got them the name "greasers" is that is there hair is all held up by grease. Socs are a different story, I mean, there violent like the greasers but they have more money and live on the "rich" part of town. They dress in there nice fancy clothes and throw parties filled with alchohal drinking and good looking girls. They don't really seem to care about life because if they mess up there rich parents can just buy them out with there money.
The book "The Out Siders" is basically just based on the right desisions and the wrong ones. Read the book and find out who wins the war, the poor greasers, or the rich socs
What will end up with Ponyboy? This book called "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton, is really good and I sugest you read it. It's adventrous, funny, surprises. If you like all these qualities, this is the book for you.
ReplyDeleteThe Greasers vs. the Socs, they are against eachother. Ponyboy is on a gang with his two brothers. The gang they are on is called Greasers because they grease their hair back. There is another gang called the Socs. They are against the Greasers and never get along. What will happen with these two gangs?
When things get out of hand Ponyboy and his friend run away. The police are after Ponyboy's friend, Johnny. He is in a lot of trouble and his parents abuse him. He does not know what to do anymore. But Ponyboy has got his back. He will follow Johnny and they will both run.
The outsiders is a on the run, humorous, and surprising book. If you like these qualities to books then you should read it. What will happen to Johnny and Ponyboy? Will the police happen? Will something terrible happen? You have to read this book to find out. "The outsiders" is a amazing book.
@ Everyone - Where is everybody else? Time is almost up! ;)
ReplyDelete@Tomas Ward- good paragraphs & ideas
ReplyDeleteThe Outsiders is a fiction book written by S.E Hinton. This novel is about two gangs and their struggles with each other. I think it was a good book because the characters seemed very real and the theme of struggling to fit in is something everyone can relate to.
ReplyDeleteThe main character Ponyboy is mature for his age. He is very likable and realistic. He seems realistic because he is tough and just tries to be like his brothers. When he walks home from the movie alone he gets jumped by the socs but his gang of family and close friends show up and chase the socs away.
The main point of this book is how people sometimes feel like outsiders. Ponyboy feels like a outsider because he does not have much of a family only his two brothers. Ponyboy and his brothers feel like outsiders because they are poor and not nearly as wealthy as the socs.
I really liked this book. The athour really makes you think about all the different ways that people can feel like outsiders. But also the book shows that outsiders can have family in other ways.
The book I am reviewing is called "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton.
ReplyDeleteThis book is an amazing story of very courageous people, tension between gangs and most of all friendship.
The book starts off like any other book: Introducing the main character. After describing the main character the author would include some action and finally introduce the other characters. The book is based on a war between Socs and Greasers.
Ponyboy lives in a small town where one thing is certain: Socs hate Greasers. Socs basically mean Soacials meaning they are popular and have lots of money. Greasers on the other hsnd have less money and friends but, they are both violent at some times. But after things go too far Johnny and Ponyboy have to hide from the police for what they did.
If you want to know what Ponyboy and Johnny did or you like books with courageous people, gang tension and friendship I would suggest reading The Outsiders.

ReplyDeleteGreat review! I liked how your introduction and how you connected to everyone's life. I like how you explained what Ponyboy felt like and just a little bit about the book. Kepp up the great work!
In the book I am reviewing called the "The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton I believe it is one of the best books I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteThis book is a fiction novel about two different gangs called the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs are the kids from the middle class homes or rich homes with parents that seem to care about them. The Greasers are the kids that come from broken down homes. They are poor and seem to have no relationship with their parents.
Pony boy is the main character in this story. He lives in a small town with his brothers because his parents have died in a car accident. Ponyboy is considered a Greaser. Ponyboy is very smart, he dose well in school and both the teachers and classmates like him. He gets along with some of the Socs (like Cherry). Him and his brothers do not have a lot of money but have a lot of true good friends. The Greasers are at odds with the gang called the Socs. The Socs are kids with lots of money. Both gangs get in trouble with the law. They both fight, drink and cause trouble.
One night because Ponyboy has spoken to one of the Socs girlfriends the Socs start to beat up Ponyboy. In defense Johnny kills one of the Socs. The fight is on!
With this dramatic turn of events Johnny and Ponyboy run away from home. The police are looking for them and also the greasers and the socs.
The conclusion of this story is both sad but happy. The book shows how simply having one person care about you can make such a difference in your life. It shows that just because you come from a place that doesn't have money you are still a good person.
If you like a story that shows compassion and excitement but talks about the importance of acceptance this is the book you want to read. The Outsiders is a book about true friendship, loyalty, different cultures and social differences. It is a must read book!!!
@game great book review about ''The Outsiders". Did you enjoy the book?Keep up the good work!!!
ReplyDeleteThe outsiders is awesome, it keeps me reading with a mix of love, war, regret & thankfulness. The intro was okay in till the socs jump Ponyboy & that introduces the two gangs the greasers & the socs & What they are about. The socs are the mean rich kids & the greasers are the misunderstood misfit hero's of the story, good or bad there the best. The main characters of the story is Ponyboy. Ponyboy has two older brothers, Darry & Sodapop. Sodapop is 16 & has dropped out of school & Darry is in his 20's but seems older because he works so much to support his brothers after there parents died in a car accident. the other members of the greasers of what i remember are johnny, two-bit, & dally. The best part of the book was probably when Johnny died, it was beautiful & emotional. the worst part of the story is that when Johnny died, it was sad & horrible. Another good thing about the story was friendship & love. But another sad part is when darry got shot purposely by the cops in front of the gang by pulling out an unloaded gun. The book was amazing & addicting, it was heartwarming.
ReplyDelete@ Tomas ward, good job if i read that review in the newspaper i would go out of my way to read that book.
