I AM SO SAD BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK......

The Outsiders made people couldn't stop to read, it shows a lot of about how the teenager's thought. I like the character's name on this book, very fun and sometimes have some feeling on those name. I like when this book talk about the family, Ponyboy and his two brother's also love and importance their family, but it hard to show to your family. I feeling it really lot because sometimes I also have the same feeling. The Outsiders is a good book for people to read, I this book so much.

I really like The Outsiders because it’s very honest and relatable. One of the aspects that I loved most about the book were the characters. The book challenges stereotypes by pitting different social classes against each other. The Greasers, the poorer and lower social class, almost become a sort of anti-hero because they have been in trouble with the law multiple times and are sort of the underdogs, but at the same time they are fiercely loyal and caring to their friends and family. There are a lot of things that I can relate to in the story. For example, Ponyboy looks up to his eldest brother Darry so he’s very afraid to disappoint him; some readers can relate to this because of the pressure a lot of parents put on them. Also, Ponyboy struggles to find his place in the world - he wonders if he belongs to a group and tries to find himself at the same time. I can also relate to this a lot, and I think a lot of people can too. Great read!

The Outsiders was a good book because of the reading level, the action, and the family. The reading level was good for me because it was easy to read.I liked the action in the book, because there were many fights between social groups. I liked the family because the brothers were always standing up for each other and didn’t get in fights with one another. Iif i would rate this book, I would rate it at 3 stars.

The Outsiders is a pretty good book because of the personal view, action, and slang words. One of the things I really liked about the book was the personal view. I like books that tell from a personal point of view, because. it gives the reader a more in depth feel for the book. This also puts the reader in the characters shoes so they can feel what the characters are feeling. The action of the book definitely kept me on my toes, and caught my attention. This is a quality that only some books may have. Another part of the book I really liked was the slang words the characters used throughout the book. It definitely makes you feel that you're in that time period throughout the book. For these reasons, I would give The Outsiders a four star rating. I loved all the qualities this book had.

The Outsiders is a good book because it shows the life in the 50s of the Greasers and the Socs, the life of a boy and his two greaser brothers, and uses slang that people living in the 1950s used. The book successfully showed the struggle in life between the rival gangs of the greasers and the Socs. The book showed the life of three brothers that lived with each other, and showed how their bonds grew stronger because of events that happened in the book. I also liked the slang they used because it showed the real side of the Greasers, and how they talked in the 50s. For these reasons I would give The Outsiders 4 and a ½ stars.

The Outsiders was a good book because it was easy to read, the Greasers connection to each other, and the personalities of the characters. The book was at my reading level, which made it so I could understand it easier. I liked how the Greasers cared about family, especially those who did not have one. The characters’ personalities made the story interesting. For all of these reasons, I would give The Outsiders four stars.

The Outsiders is a good book because it had action, the characters were easy to relate to, and the cars were interesting to read about. The first reason why I think this book is good is because it has some action fights between the gangs. It was also easy to relate to the characters in this book because they are around the same age as me. The Outsiders characters drove old cars and I am really interested in older cars. For these reasons, I would give The Outsiders 3 stars.

The Outsiders is a good book because of the reading level, action, and cars. I liked the reading level because it challenged me to read at a harder reading level and it helped me read better too As i was reading about the Socs and Greasers having war on each other, I found I was on the edge of my seat. I liked reading about the classic cars in the book. It makes me happy, because I love working on old cars. For these reasons, I would give The Outsiders four stars.
