The Outsiders, a story that takes you to the poor, greaser gang streets and the lives that they have. The book is filled with slang words like "Tuff", meaning cool not tough. The book is based on two gangs, the "Socs" or "Socials", which are the rich kids and the "Greasers", who grease their hair to look better as they are not rich. The main character is Pony boy, and no, he is not a pony. He is the youngest person in the gang, also the smartest and not a drop out from school. He usually doesnt use head even though he is the smartest, an example of that is he went to the movies by himself and he didn't bring nothing to have for defense, so he got jumped on the by "Socs". The closest person to him is Soda, Soda understands everything, or at least tries to.
