I wholeheartedly agree. It is one of 2 whole class novels I do. I have some resources on my website flexibleclass. Great piece. A couple of years ago, our seventh-grade students finished The Outsiders and, on their own initiative, came to school the next day dressed as various characters from the novel. So fun. So spontaneous. The book is a perennial must-read! Awesome post! Taught it when it first came out in It saved me and classes of remedial readers from boring worksheets.
Plan to reread it this year as a retiree! Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Skip to content You should never ask a book lover what their favorite book is.
They all connect to each other even though they are all so different. Ones a pretty boy, ones a bad ass and another a smart ass. Ones shy and scared while another is bold and fearless. Some are smart and skip a grade another has been in the same grade for 3 years and another a high school dropout.
Some are responsible some are not. They all have being a greaser in common and that bond is stronger than most families in this world. Do it realistically. Earn respect by giving it.

I have since read and watched Rumble Fish which is to me almost equally as good. Feb 23, AM. This book was very good. A lot of action. The rumbles were the best. Socs vs Greasers. Aug 29, AM. It was amazing. But I was supposed to read it twice since I switched schools so instead I got the option to read TEX also by SE Hinton, and both are very good so if you end up liking the outsiders read the other one too.
Aug 31, AM. At first I thought it was just a good regular story about gangs and nothing special. However, as I went along I saw more themes and I started to fall in love. In the end, I was shocked. What I thought was just a book turned into a wonderful story filled with themes and thoughts that really changed how I looked at some things.
I loved this book and I hope others will read it and feel the same thing I felt. I've read this book at least 5 times, and picked it up to read it a random page another I haven't picked it up in a while. Time to get a copy on the Kindle, I think
