Description

"According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world: greasers and socs. A soc (short for 'social') has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an attitude longer than a limousine. A greaser on the other hand, always lives on the outside and needs to watch his back. Ponyboy is a greaser and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers -- until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser. This classic, written by S.E. Hinton when she was 16 years old, is as profound today as it was when it was first published in 1967." From Amazon.com
