The Outsiders: Preview

The Outsiders is a classic novel written by S.E. Hinton. It was first published in 1967.  Set in Oklahoma in the 1960s, It is a story about the battle between social classes—a gang of poor teenage boys who call themselves the Greasers versus their rich rival gang, the Socs (short for Socials).  The story draws from S.E. Hinton's personal experiences; she started writing it when she was a junior in high school!

To take us back to that time period, let's listen to a couple songs that were popular in that era.  Try to guess which artist would have been the Greasers' favorite, and who the Socs' would've liked to listen to:
