In my eighth grade English class we read a book called The Outsiders. This would have to be my favorite book we have ever read at school during English class throughout middle school. I liked how the story was very suspenseful at times and I couldn’t put the book down or wait to read the next part of the story. Personally I don’t like to read so that was a great feeling to know that I couldn’t wait to read the next part. My favorite part of the story had to be when Johnny and Ponyboy ran off to the church because Johnny killed Bob. After the stabbing it was so suspenseful to see if they were going to get caught by the fuzz aka the police. We stopped reading during the middle of their escape, so I went home and read more to see what happened I couldn’t put that book down until I found out what happened and to see if they made it to the church. I felt bad for Johnny because his father was very abusive and his mother was a heavy drinker and she could care less about him. Later in the story they left the church for a little bit and it started on fire. When Ponyboy and Johnny came back there were children in the church. They went into the church to try and save them but Johnny didn’t make it out in very good condition. Johnny went to the hospital to find out he was severely burned. Later, after suffering, Johnny sadly passed away. It was so sad that he was treated badly and his mother tried to see him while he was in the hospital but Johnny refused to let her come. The Ponyboy had a bad childhood as well his parents died in a horrific crash. Therefore, Ponyboy grew up with his brothers Darry and Sodapop. This had to be my favorite book out of all the books I have read.
