My book is The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton it is about a boy named Ponyboy who is a member of the Greasers gang, it takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but it never said that in the book, the year is 1965. Ponyboy is leaving the movies, when a group "jumps him" (beats him up), that is when his brothers Darry and Sodapop save him. The next day Ponyboy and his friends Dally and Johnny go with him to the movies, when they meet a group of girls. The Socs (another group) see him (they were also the group who jumped him earlier) with their girlfriends they get really angry, so they walk up to him and attack him but he is saved by those girls. The story revolves around them and this group of girls who saved him. The main part of this book is that it is trying to convey to us the background clash between the poor Greasers gang, and the rich Socs.
