The Outsiders

In Ms.Ballabios english class we are reading a book called The Outsiders. This book literally changed my life, I love it so much and can't stop thinking about it! The movie is spectacular and a lot like the book! The actors in the movie are very famous for example Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe and my personal favorite from Dirty Dancing Patrick Swayze. The Outsiders is all about these two rival gangs the Socs who are rich kids who don't care about anyone but themselves and the Greasers who are poor and care about one another like a brother hood. This classic book/movie is very touching it will make you cry and laugh.

 One day Pony Boy, Johnny and Dally went to a Drive In to watch a movie and met these two girls Cherry and Marcia. Dally upset the two girls while Pony and Johnny didnt. This made the girls like them making them invite the boys to sit with them. They became close and the boyfriends of the girl who are Socs didn't like it very much. Later on in the night when Johnny and Pony ran away cause Darry hit Pony they ran into the Socs. The Socs beat them up and almost killed Pony when poor little Johnny did the most unexpected things and killed Cherry boyfriend Bob. Bob had beaten up Johnny in the past leaving the sixteen year old crying. Dally helped the kids get out of town so they wouldn't be arrested they hid in a abandon church for a week. Dally came one day and came to get them but before leaving took them out to eat when coming back to the church they saw it was in flames and kids were in there. Pony ran into the church to help and so did Johnny and Dally. They got the kids out and Pony and Dally barely got injured but Johnny broke his spine. He eventually died and told Pony to "Stay Gold" for Pony was like no other Greaser. He read books and was very smart, he enjoyed the small and beautiful stuff about earth like sunsets. Dally loved Johnny since he was like his own younger brother and he got so mad that he did some illegal stuff causing the cops to come after him and shoot him. From being a gang of seven they ended up being five.
