Ponyboy, Johnny, Darry, Sodapop, Dally, Steve, Two-bit, Socs. The Socs are the rich people in Tuba, Oklahoma who live on the west side on the town and think they are better than everyone else and have the most exciting lives out of everyone. The Greasers are the poor people in Tuba, Oklahoma who live on east side and have the harshest lives out of everyone and have to work of everything.
Climax
The Greasers and the Socs hate each other. The Socs get drunk and hurt/beat up the Greasers just for the fun of it. One time they beat up Johnny so bad he looked like he was a zombie and left him in an ally to die.
Falling Action
Darry slaps Ponyboy and he runs with Johnny to the park but the Socs started to drown Ponyboy in a fountain. So Johnny killed the Socs and they ran away to a church. Then it caught on fire and Johnny and Ponyboy saved children from the fire but got badly injured while doing that.
Resolution
The Greasers win the rumble against the Socs and go see Johnny in the hospital but when they see him he is dead and Dally goes crazy and robs a gas station but got shot by the cops for holding a non loaded gun to his head.
Ponyboy gets very sick and wakes up in the hospital and then goes back home and sleeps with Sodapop in his bed. Then Ponyboy, Darry, and Sodapop had to go to court to see if Ponyboy and Sodapop will get separated from Darry. The judge acquitted them and they went back home.
Ponyboy need to write a 5 page story to be able to pass his class or he will fail it and to pass. Then Ponyboy found a letter in the book that he got from the nurse after Johnny died. That gave Ponyboy the idea to start writing The Outsiders for his ELA project.
