The theme: As the title suggests, //The Outsiders// is a theme in itself. Looking at life as an outsider and feeling as though one is being treated as an outsider is a matter of perspective or point of view. Someone who always feels like an outsider may conclude that life is unfair.

The summary: //The Outsiders// is about two weeks in the life of a 14-year-old boy. The novel tells the story of Ponyboy Curtis and his struggles with right and wrong in a society in which he believes that he is an outsider. Ponyboy Curtis belongs to the greasers, a group of social outcasts who live on the poor side of town. Their rivals, the Socials, come from affluent homes and seem to have all the advantages.
