Hinton || <span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Ponyboy is a greaser who's parents were killed in a car accident. His friends Johnny, Dally, Two-Bit, and Steve, and brothers Darry and Soda, seem to always be getting jumped by their rivals, the Socs (Socials). The Socs try to drown Ponyboy, and Johnny stabs Bob, one of the Socs, until he dies. They can't stay there, or they would be arrested, so they run away with some help from Dally. When the church they are staying in catches on fire, they help some little kids who are trapped inside out. Ponyboy makes it out okay, Dally burns his arm, but a huge piece of wood falls on Johnny, breaking his back and burning him badly. They rush him to a hospital. With a fight near, and Johnny dying, Dally decides that they should beat the Socs for Johnny. The greasers and Socs fight each other and the Socs lose. Dally, unable to live with the fact that Johnny is dead, freaks out and robs a store. The police follow him, but they kill him. This whole experience brought what was left of their gang closer, and makes them a tight-knit family. || = **<span style="color: #800080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">★★★★★ ** = || [[image:http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/EXID24656/images/outsiders_000.jpg width="54" height="124"]] ||
