My class is reading the book called (of course) the Outsiders. It's written by S.E. Hinton and was made into a movie in the year 1983. Main character is a boy named Ponyboy Curtis. I know what you're thinking, why would I read a book that's about a boy named Ponyboy? Well guess what, it's also about high school gangs. Two in particular; the Socials (or Soc) and the Greasers (or grease). The Socs are the rich, snobby boys and girls of high society and of course enemies of Greasers. Not all of them though. The Greasers are the emotional, tough, tuff, and not as rich boys and girls of the "lower" class. Of course, Ponyboy and his brothers Darry and Sodapop (believe it), are a part of the Greasers. Whenever or where ever they meet, there's usually gonna be a fight, rumble, dirty looks, shunning, or smack talking.
Sounds interesting yet? I hope so! It's a little mature but the book drags you in as soon as you read the first page! And no I'm not over exaggerating! And here's where the whole seventh grade comes in. Regardless of our section, A or B, we are all divided into Greasers and Socs. I'm a part of the Greasers of course, and so is Butterfly-san, Swift-san, and Sky-san. (*scream*) Even Rabbit-kun is a Greaser! Oh I almost forgot! When we finish the book, we also get to watch the movie! And our teacher said that we're gonna dress up as a Greaser or Soc (depending on which side you're on)! (*squee*) Rabbit-kun is going to look so cute as a Greaser! Of course, he still looks cute as a Soc! Which reminds me, I still have to decide on my outfit! I'll keep you posted on my progress! Until my next post, see ya! XD
