This coming of age novel follows the story of a young boy named Ponyboy Curtis. The novel shows a separation of social class with the greasers and the socs, the greasers being the lower class and the socs being of high class society. Ponyboy Curtis is considered a greaser, and runs into trouble with the socs of his neighbor. When Ponyboy gets in trouble with the Socs, a group of greasers come to his rescue. However, when Ponyboy’s friend kills one of the socs, tensions between the two groups escalate. The novel shows how friendship and working together gets them through difficult time. There are many difficult themes that many young adults may relate to and identify with. Even though this book was set in a different time, some of the concepts can be transferred over into modern day life and young adults may see some of the issues still existing today.
