It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset

I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.

There was a silent moment when everything held its breath, and then the sun rose.

In our neighborhood it’s rare to find a kid who doesn’t drink once in a while. But Soda never touches a drop—he doesn’t need to. He gets drunk on just plain livin.

“I’ve been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you’re gold when you’re a kid, like green. When you’re a kid everything’s new, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That’s gold. Keep that way, it’s a good way to be.”

"Nope," I said, lighting up another weed. I still had a headache, but I felt better. Socs were just guys after all. Things were rough all over, but it was better that way. That way you could tell the other guy was human too

“You sure don't need an amplifier" Soda said, and stuck out his tongue at the back of Darry's head. I stifled a giggle. If you want to see something funny, it's a tough hood sticking his tongue out at his big brother.

this made me tear up, it is so refreshing to see an older brother talk so tenderly to his younger brother. hinton portrayed the curtis brothers’ bond so beautifully ;-;;

I took a deep breath- "Darry, do you think they’ll split us up? Put me in a home or something?" 

He was silent. "I don't know, baby. I just don't know." 

I stared at the ceiling. What would it be like, I wondered, staring at a different ceiling?

this scene is permanently etched into my brain. the importance of finding your people, the ones who care about you ;-;; 

"We're all we've got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don't have each other, we don't have anything. And if you don't have anything, you end up like Dallas . . and I don't mean dead, either. I mean like he was before. And that's worse than dead.”

Just don’t forget that some of us watch the sunset too

The Socs's idea of having a good time is beating up greasers like Ponyboy. Ponyboy knows what to expect and knows he can count on his brothers and friends - until the night someone takes things too far. A ground-breaking, timeless story from a brilliant writer.

The Outsiders

s.e hinton how does it feel to outwrite everybody at the age of 16

50 years of an iconic classic! This international bestseller and inspiration for a beloved movie is a heroic story of friendship and belonging. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far. The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published. "The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." —The New York Times "Taut with tension, filled with drama." —The Chicago Tribune "[A] classic coming-of-age book." —Philadelphia Daily News A New York Herald Tribune Best Teenage Book A Chicago Tribune Book World Spring Book Festival Honor Book An ALA Best Book for Young Adults Winner of the Massachusetts Children's Book Award

Es ist ein coming of age Roman, der in den 60er Jahren spielt. Es handelt sich um den Konflikt zweier Jugendbanden: die, die in wohlhabenden Umständen leben, und die bescheideneren, ärmeren Jungs.

Wir begleiten den jungen, verträumten und sensiblen Ponyboy, der nach dem Tod seiner Eltern alleine mit seinen zwei älteren Brüdern lebt. Es geht viel um die Themen Banden, Gewalt, aber auch Freundschaft und Opferbereitschaft. Das Thema des Buches ist gewissermaßen hart, dennoch ist die Geschichte sehr gefühlvoll und emotional beladen und das Ende ist sehr traurig.

Ich habe das Buch sehr genossen und finde, es ist einer der gelungensten coming of age Romane.

I remember reading this sometime in school and really liking this book, one of the few that was enjoyable to read in the curriculum. I’m really glad I decided to refresh my memory on it since my memory of how things went down was completely off. 

All the characters are pretty different from one another but complement each other well in their group dynamic. Love them all tbh. 

The right book to just remind you not to judge people based on how they look, everyone’s going through something, and sometimes the world has a tragic way of pointing that out.

Absolutely loved this book! Each character is deep and thoughtful in their own way. The author does a great job at using the characters to conflict/ compliment the others. This is such an important coming of age story about a boy who sees the reality and importance of change and begins to take notice of the consequences of his actions. He learns to take responsibility and to value the people around him.

I keep changing my mind about this, but this book was a solid 4/5 stars.

reading it for a second time after many years made me appreciate each relationship much more, and truly understand each character, i feel like they all play a role in a way that completes each other so deeply 😪

i originally read in either 6th grade or 7th as part of our english curriculum and at the time i enjoyed it! i wanted to refresh and see if i would still like it to this day. i enjoyed it despite the characters mostly being boys, white boys to be exact considering i don’t relate to that certain demographic. however i liked ponyboy as a character and still enjoyed the book for the most part. the curtis brothers and johnnys characters were my favorite when i first read it, they still are. johnnys death was always tragic to me considering he was pure and didnt deserve the life he lived at only 15 only for it to end in his death. unfortunately what would the greasers be if not tragic from the start.

We had to read if for school and ended up actually liking it. The ending was a little sad but great. I would read it again.

Meagan Fischer 

Beloved classic from childhood/adolescence.

Melissa Palmer

One of my all-time favorites. First re-read of it and I still loved it. A must read for middle and high schoolers.

I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. This quick read is filled with lovable characters and a fast-paced plot.

This book almost made me cry in the middle of my class so it gets a 5/5 from me.

Erik Wallace

Not a bad book... impressive that the author wrote it when she was 16.

In the first half of the book, it seemed like a normal (yet still interesting) book. However, the main plot twist came so suddenly and so powerfully that it had me on the edge the whole time. It was extraordinary how the author managed to express so many complex emotions and experiences within one novel. It shows the life of those boys in such detail, I loved it.

Genuinely so surprised I had never read this book before. I see why it is such an adored YA classic.

The outsiders

rumbledethumps

I got about half-way through this book, and had already decided it was fine, was planning on giving it a 3-star. Took me a week or so before I picked it up again, and then read it straight through to the end. The way it finished tied everything up so well, I had no choice but to give it a 5-star.

And to think that Hinton wrote it when she was a teenager makes it all the more impressive.

In Ponyboy's world there are two types of people. There are the Socs the rich society kids who get away with anything. The there are the greasers, like Ponyboy, who aren't so lucky. Ponyboy has a few things he can count on, hid older brothers, his friends, and trouble with the Socs, whose idea of a good time is beating up greasers like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect--until the night things go too far.

When it was first published in 1967, The Outsiders struck an immediate chord with its readers. Defying convention, the groundbreaking novel became a touchstone of honesty and excellence in its genre. As Jodi Picault observes in her perceptive introduction, it continues to resonate with its powerful portrait of the bonds and boundaries of friendship.

A really quick read that is brilliantly written, especially coming from a sixteen year old. The story had strong moral messages & I'm disappointed I haven't read it earlier.

I thought that this book was good when I read it

-0.5 taken off for the sheer amount of tears shed during my first reading in the 8th grade
