About the Book The Outsiders is a novel by S.E. Hinton,
published in 1967. Hinton was 15 when she began writing the novel
and she was 17 when she got it published. The outsiders is the life
story of fourteen-year-old Ponyboy Michael Curtis. Hinton explores
a multitude of themes throughout the story, such as friendship, and
coming age. They are seen by two groups, the Greasers and the socs
(said "soashes" by the author, short for Socials), who are
separated by status.

S.E. Hinton, is one of the most popular and best known writers
of young adult fiction. Her books have been taught in some schools,
and some schools do not care about it. Her novels changed the way
people look at young adult literature. Susan Eloise Hinton was born
in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has always enjoyed reading but wasn't
satisfied with the literature that was being written for young
adults, which influenced her to write novels like The Outsiders.
That book, her first novel was published in 1967 Once published,
The Outsiders gave her a lot of publicity and fame, and also a lot
of pressure. S.E. Hinton was becoming known as "The Voice of the
Youth" among other titles. This kind of pressure and publicity
resulted in a three year long writer's block.
Slide 10
The Greasers While the Socs live carefree lives of privilege,
The Greasers all come from dangerous backgrounds. They like to
listen to the music of Elvis Presley and think the Beatles are
"out". Their attire usually consists of tight fitting t-shirts,
leather jackets, and snug jeans. Some greasers are involved in
criminal activities, which causes many people to incorrectly assume
that all Greasers are juvenile delinquents. Many of the Greasers
have problems at home. The Greasers dislike the Socs.
Slide 11
The Socs The Socs are the nickname of the "Socials," the West
Side rich kids. Ponyboy tells in the book that they drive nice cars
like Mustangs, Corvais, and Carovetts, and learns that the Soc
girls he meets are partial to the Beatles instead of Elvis. The
Socs are known to jump the greasers on the East side of town. They
throw beer blasts for fun.
