The Outsiders was started when Hinton was 15 and finished at when she was 18. S.E. Hinton wrote it in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1965. The books was about soc and greasers.

The Outsiders should not be band from schools and libraries because it a good book and it teaches you how some peoples life is. It was ranked #43 out of lots of books. Its not a bad or harmful book , parents might say they don’t want their kids to read it because it has drugs or underage kids that smoke and drink and gangs but kids already know even if they seen it in a book , they already know . it also teaches then that its scary to be in gangs which well make them not want to be in a gang .

  A friend of mine has been through the same thing like pony boy and his brothers they went through losing their parents and so did my friend. They were in gangs and dropped out of school to work so they wouldn’t get separated.
