The Outsiders Chapters 1+2

Summary:The Outsiders is a very good novel that is pretty old. It is about The Greasers and The Socs. The Gresasers is a group of people which the main character are in Ponyboy,Soda,Darry,Dally,Two-Bit and Johny. The live in the bad part of town with all the gangs and are like brothers because Ponyboy,Darry and Sodas parent died in an accident so they all live together. The people around them that they grew up with are like their brothers. The Socs is a group of rich kids that always try to attack The Greasers. They are mean and everyone is scared of them.
Favourite part:My favourite part of these chapters was at the begining when Ponyboy was walking home from the theater he was talking about one time when Johny got beat up by the socks and then a few seconds later he runs into them. They stop him and push him to the ground. They threaten him with a knife and to kill him. He screams and Darry and Soda come over to help him. He has bruises and blood on his face but he said he wasnt as badly beaten as Johny was. I think if i was Ponyboy i would be scared out of my mind and would be balling my head off!
I think in these first two chapters it is all about family and how they all live together and without parents. I think this is going to be an interesting book with lots of events and life threatening experiences.
Thats all I have for now!
