According to Ponyboy, there are two kinds of people in the world:
greasers and socs. A soc (short for "social") has money, can get away with just about anything, and has an
attitude longer than a
limousine A greaser, on the other hand, always lives on the
outside and needs to watch his back.
Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even
willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc. The murder gets under Ponyboy's skin, causing his bifurcated world to crumble and teaching him that pain feels the same whether a soc or a greaser. This classic, written by S. E. Hinton when she was 16 years old, is as profound today as it was when it was first published in 1967..
