The Outsiders Crossword Puzzle


“The Outsiders” is a novel written by S.E. Hinton, published in 1967. It is a coming-of-age story set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and revolves around the conflict between two rival teenage gangs: the working-class “Greasers” and the affluent “Socs” (short for Socials). Here is a summary of the novel:

The story is narrated by Ponyboy Curtis, a young Greaser, who lives with his two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry, after their parents died in a car accident. Ponyboy and his friends, including Johnny, Two-Bit, and Dallas, are constantly at odds with the Socs, who often harass and beat them.

One night, Ponyboy and Johnny find themselves in a fight with some Socs, which results in Johnny accidentally killing one of them in self-defense. Terrified, they go on the run and seek refuge in an abandoned church on the outskirts of town.

As the two boys hide out, tension between the Greasers and the Socs escalates. Ponyboy and Johnny’s predicament forces them to confront their own identities and question the senseless violence that plagues their lives. Meanwhile, Dallas joins them at the hideout, and they all live in fear of being caught by the police.

Tragedy strikes when the church catches fire while the boys are inside. They heroically rescue a group of children from the flames but sustain severe injuries in the process. Johnny doesn’t survive his injuries, and Dallas is killed by the police while attempting to rob a store.

Ponyboy returns home, and the novel culminates in a courtroom hearing where Ponyboy’s character and the events that transpired are examined. Ultimately, Ponyboy and his brothers face the challenges of rebuilding their lives and striving for a better future.

“The Outsiders” explores themes of social class, identity, family, and the consequences of violence. It remains a classic in young adult literature due to its relatable characters and its exploration of the universal struggles of adolescence.
