About the project:
The Outsiders is a coming-of-age story told by fourteen-year-old Ponyboy, the youngest of the greasers, who is being raised by his oldest brother Darry. The greasers and Socs–the rich kids–do not get along and are always fighting. Cherry, a Soc, shares a connection with Ponyboy due to his sensitive nature and love of poetry. This makes her boyfriend, Bob, jealous, and he, along with a gang of Socs, jump Ponyboy and his best friend Johnny. To save Ponyboy from being drowned, Johnny stabs Bob and accidentally kills him. Ponyboy and Johnny flee into hiding. Later, Ponyboy and Johnny rescue children from a burning church, and Johnny is critically injured during the rescue. Eventually, Johnny succumbs to his injuries but not before leaving Ponyboy with his famous message, “Stay gold Ponyboy.
