First of all, AAAAWWWWEEEESSSSOOOOMMMMEEEE (AWESOME). This book is about a boy named Ponyboy, his brother Sodapop, and his other brother Darry.Yes, that's right, their names are Ponyboy and Sodapop.Those aren't nicknames, they are there real names. STRANGE MUCH? Anyway, Ponyboy is walking home from the movie house alone and gets jumped by a gang of soc's. Oh, by the way, this book is about two groups of people that call themselves soc's, and the greasers. Pony boy is a greaser. Okay, back to the jumping. Before the soc's can do that much damage, Ponyboy's gang shows up and drive away the soc's. Then aafter a short while, Dally, Two-bit, Ponyboy, and Johnny sneak into the drive-in movie. Dally starts showing off his terrible vocabulary in front of two girls and Johnny stops him. Dally leaves and the two girls Cherry and Marcia ask Johnny and Ponyboy to stay and protect them, which they do. Two-bit offers to walk the girl home, and so Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-bit end up walking them home. Later on in the book, Darry ends up hitting Ponyboy who runs away with Johnny to the park. When they get to the park, Cherry and marcia's boyfriends show up with their friends and jump Johnny and Ponyboy. One of them attempts to drown Ponyboy in the fountain but Johnny stabs Bob, Cherry's boyfriend and scare away the other soc's. Bob dies and Johnny and Ponyboy run away with the help of Dally. Dally helps them run away by giving them fifty dollars and a gun. They run away to Jay Mountain and end up saving five little kids from a burning church, which Johnny and Ponyboy had been staying in. Johnny gets severely injured and Dally hurts his arm. The rest of the book I will leave to you to read. ENJOY!
