charming but trite

Ponyboy Curtis lives in a world where there are only two types of people - those with all the breaks and those who just get broken- the Socs and the Greasers. When Ponyboy finds himself hiding from the police because he and his best friend are wanted for the murder of a member of their rival gang, it is clear to Ponyboy what type of life he can expect. Things seem as bad as they can be. But will Ponyboy be able to come to terms with who he is or will he remain just another Greaser? Find out in The Outsiders. Even though The Outsiders was written in 1967, S.E. Hinton's portrayal of gang life is as poignant today as it was then. Though the dated slang and the trite ending might turn off young readers, Ponyboy's struggle with loyalty and the search for independence are timeless.

Synopsis
A revealing picture of the tension between loyalty toward friends and family and the struggle for individuality in the life of a young gang member.
