I love this book.
I absolutely fall in love with every single one of the Greaser Boys. I think that the connection that the author makes with the audience is incredible.
When Ponyboy Curtis and his friend Johnny are jumped by a group of drunk Socs, kids who have money and nice cloths and cars, Ponyboy almost is drowned in the fountain at the park. Johnny acts in self defense and one of the Socs ends up dead. These two young boys are forced to run away so they can stay out of trouble. Ponyboy and Johnny are the little brother figures and the two boys that all the hardend boys try to protect.
Ponyboy lives with his older brothers Darry and Sodapop, after both his parents die. Ponyboy ends up having to put aside his differences that he has with Darry when Sodapop, the favorite of both Darry and Ponyboy, can't handle it anymore.
I love this book because it delves into relationships and friendships and the bonds that hold people together.
