ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Outsiders by S.E. Hinton delves into the lives of two rival teenage gangs, the working-class Greasers and the affluent Socs, in a 1960s American town. The narrative follows Ponyboy Curtis, a young Greaser, as he navigates the stark social and economic divide that fuels constant tension and violent clashes between the groups. The story unfolds after a fateful encounter leaves Ponyboy and his friend Johnny in serious trouble, forcing them to confront the harsh realities of their world and the meaning of loyalty and belonging. The book explores themes of social class, prejudice, identity, and the challenges of adolescence in a society marked by division.
