The Outsiders-11/17/11

I've decided to take a break on Sarah's Key because I really wanted to read The Outsiders. Its one of my favorite books, I read it as a freshmen in Tripp. Pony Boy Curtis is part of the greasers group which his brothers Darry and Soda Pop, Dally, Steve, Johnny, and Two Bit. The greasers are the northside middle class. The Socs are southside rich kids. Pony gets jumped by a group of socs-but he yells for the rest of the group and they come and help him. Darry yells at Pony for being so stupid and not asking someone else to come along so he's not by himself. Pony fells like Darry hates him and that the only one who truely loves him is Soda. Soda tries to tell Pony that that's not the case, that ever since their parents died Darry has more responsibilites. I remember feeling like that with my brother when ever we would fight. We get along alot better then we used to, but it still sometimes crosses my mind that me and him aren't as close as some of my friends and their brother.
