The+Outsiders

//the outsiders// by S.E. Hinton Fiction I chose this book because, my rother told me about this book and I overheard him talking to our mom about it. He said he really liked the book and that it was about gangstersand a big rumble they have at the end of the book. I wasn't really sure what a rumble was untilI asked Neil. I can't really remember what he said, but it has to do something with a big fight with another gang. Also my mom read this book at my age, so that made me think I would understand it easy. Another reason I got this book is because, I usually read books that Neil read.

So far in the book I got to where the big rumble is over and Johny dies. About the book, my favorite part was when the rumble was going on. Darry, Steve, Soda, and Ponyboy were walking to where the rumble was going to be at 7:00 PM. Tim Shepard and the Brumly boys were waiting at the vacant lot already where the rumble was going to be. The greasers and the Brumly boys shook hands to show that they were on the same side. Earlier in the book, Johny had killed Bob (Who led the Socs) and Randy was his best friend, so Randy decided not to fight in the rumble. The whole reason they had this rumble was because Johny killed Bob. They didn't know how they were going to start the rumble. Darry solved that problem. He stepped up and said,"I'll take any one of you." Darry was the strongest. He only fought to show off his muscles. No one stepped up for a while. Then after a while Paul stepped up. Darry and Paul have been friends for a long time. But they hated each other now, because Darry figured out Paul was a Soc and Paul figured out Darry was a greaser.Darry and Paul walked in circles slowly around each other. When the first punch was thrown the rumble would begin. Ponyboy (the main charactor) was shivering. Then Dally came running down the street and yelled,"Hold up! Hold it!" Darry looked back to see who it was. Paul punched Darry in the jaw as soon as he looked away. The rumble was on. Dally couldn't fight as well though, because he burnt his arm hitting Ponyboy's back to get the fire off. Johny and Ponyboy were saving the little children that were trapped inside the burning church and when Ponyboy jumped out, his back was on fire. that's true. In my book,
