Summary: The book I have been reading  is about a gang with name greasers and how their life is and what kind of trouble they were in. It’s a boy with name Ponyboy who is telling the story, the story is told in a direct, first-person voice. The greasers always fight with another gang with name Socs. One time four Socs was jumping at Johnny, it wasn’t pretty. His face was all cut up and bruises. Johnny was really scared after that. And Ponyboy have been jumped at. Five Socs was walking around him slowly, smiling. One day the greaser met some girls on a outside cinema. They didn’t know they were girlfriends with some in the Socs. When they were following the girl’s home a mustang was pulling up beside them, it was the Socs. They came out and asked the girls to come in the car, but the girls didn’t want to, then the Socs became angry, but they drived away. Later that night when Johnny and Ponyboy was running away (Ponyboy wanted to run away because his brother had hit him, because he came home to late. Ponyboy was so angry) He took Johnny with him. When they were running the Socs came in their car, they stopped the car and came out. Johnny and Ponyboy was so scared. Bob, one of the Socs took Ponyboy and holds his head over a fountain, he was going to drown him. Johnny took his blade from his pocket and stabs Bob to death. Now they don’t know what they were going to do, so they run to a boy called Dally, he always knows what they could do. He gave them some money and some clean clothes and told them to go to an old church and stay there for a few days to hide. And then Dally was coming up to the church when it was safe. When the two boys were in the church the time went really slow, so they were reading a book to each other to make the time go faster. When Dally came to the church he tells them that Ponyboys brothers are worried sick about them and he gave Ponyboy a letter from his brothers where it stands that they are sorry for jelling at him and sorry that the one brother was hitting him. Later the church is in fire. Many children are in it, and the two boys are rescuing them. The church is falling down, and Johnny gets hit. They thought they heard a police care, but it was an ambulance. They took them to a hospital. Then they gat to know that Johnny’s back was broke. Ponyboy and Dally are in the hospital when Johnny dies. That wasn’t easy for them. Dally was running out of the hospital and later he rubbed a liquor store. When the police came he took an unloaded gun right in his face. The police didn’t know that it was unloaded so he shot him. Ponyboy knows that Dally wanted to die. This was really hard for Ponyboy. Ponyboy told himself that Johnny and Dally wasn’t dead, but they were. Later he had to face the fact. Ponyboy was decided to write a story about how it is to live as a greaser. How it is to be in a gang, and how it is to lose your friends and parent’s.
