My Favorite Book

I have multiple books that can be considered my favorites, but one of books I recently reread was The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. The first time I read this book was when I was in the fifth grade. We read it with the class, but I do not remember how much of the book we actually went over. I wanted to read it again so I could remember what the book was about, but instead I realized how much symbolism and meaning the book had. One of the main themes of the book was that no matter where we come from or who we are, we are all still people - human beings. Ponyboy felt that they, “greasers” and “socs”, should not be fighting because of which part of town they lived or were born in. Ponyboy hated unfairness, and he realizes that he lives in an unfair world. But yet, he tries to find a way to get away from all the fighting and the killing. He tries to make a better life for himself. The other reason I love this book is because the main characters name is Ponyboy and his brother’s name is Soda. That gives me enough reason to love this book.
