The Outsiders is told from the perspective of Ponyboy, a sensitive and intelligent boy, who struggles to understand why his world seems so unfair. His friends, known as greasers, are at odds with the rich kids (Socs) who appear to have everything handed to them on a silver platter and yet they never feel satisfied. The Outsiders tells the story of the ultimate clash between the gangs and how the survivors learn to judge one another as individuals.
