📖 The outsiders

Ponyboy can count on his friends, the Greasers, including his two brothers and four other members, Sodapop, Darry, Dally, Two-Bit, Steve, and shaken Johnny. They're constantly on the lookout for one another, especially since the Socs, a group of people who hate Greasers, love to beat Ponyboy and his friends up. But one day, as five Socs approach a running-away-from-home Ponyboy and Johnny, one of the two boys do something so unexpected which makes them have to flee their safe haven of protective Greasers. I recommend this book because it is a thrilling tale of how you must stand for others and yourself.

这本书给我们展示了Pony和他的伙伴们在成长的过程中所面临的严重的社会问题——贫富不同阶层之间的冲突,以及暴力和歧视。在作品的主人公Pony的世界里有他的两个哥哥,三个好伙伴和他们的共同的敌人——生活在西城的富有的男孩儿们。故事讲述了Pony从伤人、逃亡和救人的经历后,对周围人的观点的改变,而这一改变正是Pony经历的成长历程。 我推荐这本书,因为它是一个激动人心的故事,并讲述了一个人应该如何为他人和自己争取权益。
