The Outsiders is a Coming of Age novel from 1967. It was written by S. E. Hinton, who was sixteen years old at the time. The story is narrated by the youngest member of a Troubled, but Cute greaser group of True Companions in Tulsa, Oklahoma.Fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Curtis lives with his brothers Darrel and Sodapop. Darrel, who everyone calls "Darry", is the leader of a gang of boys, all in various degrees of poverty and Parental Abandonment: Steve Randle, Sodapop's best friend; the nonstop joker Two-Bit; Dallas Winston, who served his first jail sentence when he was ten; and Johnny Cade, a quiet, sweet kid from an abusive home whom everybody protects like a puppy.The Greasers' rivals are the Socs (short for "Socials"; pronounced "Soashes"), rich "white trash with Mustangs and madras." Getting jumped and defending himself is a fact of life for Ponyboy. The trouble really starts, however, when Johnny and Ponyboy pick up two girls from the Socs' side of the tracks (Cherry Valance and Marcia) at the movies. Cherry's boyfriend, Bob, and his friends come after them later in a nearby park, which leads to an incident that has a profound impact on the Greasers.The Outsiders was followed by several sequels, of which Rumble Fish is the best known, and, of course, a rather faithful 1983 film adaptation in which Hinton herself was directly involved, directed by Francis Ford Coppola and featuring a cast including C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon, Ralph Macchio, Patrick Swayze, Rob Lowe, Diane Lane, Emilio Estevez, Tom Cruise, and Leif Garrett.The film got its own sequel in 1990, which also served as the pilot episode to a short-lived, little known TV series. A musical adaptation premiered on Broadway in April of 2024.Not to be confused with The Outsiders, a superhero team in The DCU, or the tag team of Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, or the '60s band that did "Time Won't Let Me". Also not to be confused with The Stranger, whose title is often translated as The Outsider. Very different from H. P. Lovecraft's short story The Outsider, or Stephen King's novel also called The Outsider. | |

The Outsiders / int_3618ebb9 | comment |
The '60s: The book was first written in 1964, published in 1967, and the book and film was done as a period piece set in 1965. Despite being set in the 1960s, it captures none of the Flower child movement, civil unrest, and general upheaval of the later '60s. The setting and characters seemed much more from the The '50s or earlier '60s, with the exception that there are a couple mentions of The Beatles. But this is very accurate since many more rural areas of the country like Oklahoma didn't experience the changes of the 1960s as quickly. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The church rescue, where Ponyboy and Johnny go in to save a group of kids before the church burns completely to the ground. It ends with Johnny sustaining a injury that would ultimately cost him his life. Even worse, before he died, Johnny said that he wouldn't have been able to walk again if he had survived. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
The Outsiders / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Ponyboy lives, reconciles with Darry, and presumably ends up going back to school. The Greasers defeat the Socs at the rumble, but Johnny and Dally are dead. Furthermore, the feud between the Greasers and Socs is still shown to continue regardless. On a brighter note, it's likely that the public will have a more positive view of the Greasers following the media coverage of the church rescue and Ponyboy's school project on his traumatic experiences. | |

Book Ends: The novel opens with the line "When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." At the close, Ponyboy asks his English teacher if it's okay that his theme runs for more than five pages. The book then ends with the same line that it started with, indicating that The Outsiders is actually Ponyboy's theme for English class. | |

Delinquents: The Socs and the Hoods. Filthy rich and poor as rats, respectively. The Greasers also have this reputation, although it's mostly only Dallas who lives up to it. And isn't that curious?

The Outsiders / int_820ac3c5 | comment |
Dysfunction Junction: Almost all the Greasers fit here. Ponyboy and his brothers lost their parents in a car accident. Steve has an abusive father. Both of Johnny's parents are abusive and don't care about him. Dallas has a growing criminal record which started when he was ten and used to run with gangs in New York. Two-Bit's father walked out on the family, but his mother loves him and takes care of him. | |

Your Door Was Open: Justified, as at least two members of the gang frequently need a place to stay. When one character worries about the house being robbed, Darrel states that he would rather risk robbery than have one of the gang members go crazy and do something that earned them serious jail time. Besides, they have nothing to steal. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Cherry possibly falling in love with Dally is mentioned a total of once and never again. Cherry's friend Marcia. She seems like she's going to be an important character, but, at the end of the day, she appears only in one scene. It seems her only role in the story was to give some diversity to the Soc's characterization. | |

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: The lack of cursing generally isn't that conspicuous, but in the beginning of the book, when one of the Socs mugging Ponyboy, he says, "For Pete's sake!" This is justified in that Ponyboy is writing the book as a paper for school, and probably wouldn't be too keen on dropping f-bombs in something his teacher would be grading him on. A particularly funny one is when Two-Bits calls Ponyboy a son of a gun. | |

The Un-Favourite: Ponyboy feels that older brother Darry cares only for Sodapop and that he is only another mouth to feed. However, he is proven wrong - Darry's strict because is his way to push Ponyboy to a better tomorrow. | |

The Outsiders / int_f62b8d00 | comment |
Sinister Switchblade: Switchblades are exceedingly common weapons among Socs and greasers alike. Two-bit takes a great deal of pride in his jet-black model. After he got jumped by a gang of Socs, Johnny carries a six-inch blade, which he uses to kill Bob, who was part of the same gang of Socs who had attacked him before. | |
