The Outsiders1

             In this book analysis, about the book "The Outsiders" by S.
             E. Hinton I will discuss character and plot development, as
             well as the setting, the author's style and my opinions
             about the book. In this part of the analysis I will give
             some information about the subjects of the book, and about
             The author wrote the story when she was just 16 years old,
             in the 1950s. The book was successful, and it was sold, and

             many schools that use this book in junior high and high
             schools for English classes. There were plays made about the
             book too. The Outsiders is about a gang. They live in a city

             the story. Other characters include Sodapop and Darry,
             Ponyboy's brothers, Johnny, Dallas, and Two-Bit, that were
             also gang members and Ponyboy's friends. This story deals
             with two forms of social classes: the socs, the rich kids,
             and the greasers, the poor kids. The socs go around looking
             for trouble and greasers to beat up, and then the greasers
             are blamed for it, because they are poor and
             cannot affect the authorities. I hope you would enjoy and
             learn something about the book from reading this analysis.
             The plot development in the book, "The Outsiders" by S.E.

             plot-without any forewords. This is the beginning of the
             first sentence: "When I stepped out into the bright
             sunlight from the darkness of the movie house..." (page 9).
             As you can see, it goes straight to the point without any
             prologues or any kind of introduction. The plot dev...
