“In the book The Outsiders, by S.E. Hilton, there are these seven boys they are Ponyboy Curtis, Dallas Winston, Johnny Cade, Darrel Curtis, SodaPop Curtis, Two Bit Matthews, and all of their parents abandoned them. To me this book was interesting because the way they describe all of the boys and how they live really caught my attention. For example, when the author said “And then there was Ponyboy with his nice smooth silky hair and his tight leather jacket, also his tight pants.” The author uses a lot of detail with his characters. It was also interesting to me because when the boys got into a fight with the Socs in the park, Johnny pulled out a knife and started to stab one of the Socs in the stomach. The two boys Johnny and Ponyboy were then scared and they decided to go to Dallas’s house and ask him what to do. He said “Are you kidding me why would you come to me, I’m already on parole.” The thing that really caught my attention was the fire at the end, Dallas went to go and get Ponyboy and Johnny from another state, and while they were heading back home, after about eight or nine months, they recognized that there was a fire at a near by house. They went into the house and got everybody that was in the fire out. This book deals with survival, trust, and friendship and it is a good read. ”
