Dear Parents,
In the next few weeks,
we will begin our novel study of The
Outsiders by S. E. Hinton in Language Arts.
This book can be purchased at local bookstores, on www.Scholastic.com , or I can order a copy
of the novel for $6.64 from Amazon.com.
If you would like for me to order a copy of the novel, please provide
the above amount in cash. It is not a requirement that students purchase a copy
of this book; however, it is beneficial for them to have a personal copy to use
while completing assignments.
Summary
of The Outsiders:
A landmark work of American fiction first
published in 1967, S. E. Hinton's novel was an immediate phenomenon. Today, The Outsiders continues to resonate with its
powerful portrait of the bonds and boundaries of friendship.
In Ponyboy's world there are
two types of people. There are the Socs, the rich society kids who get away
with anything. Then there are the greasers, like Ponyboy, who aren't so lucky.
Ponyboy has a few things he can count on: his older brothers, his friends, and
trouble with the Socs, whose idea of a good time is beating up greasers. At
least he knows what to expect — until the night someone takes things go too
far. (Scholastic)
