what? Really? oh..........
why would they do that? I mean, r they allowed to do that?

oh... still poor Dally...... I honestly would never date a guy like him.
there is a sequel to the outsiders called That Was Then, This Is Now if u want to read it!
I read it for school, it's about 200/300 pages but it took longer to read in class because we were practically analysing the whole book.
I dont really like reading books for school, cause the might be boring! But the outsiders was not!
Hahaha I read this in 6th grade from the librabry for fun; and then the next year we had to read it in 7th grade and then I moved to California and they had to read it in 8th grade. I was kind of confused to why 8th graders were reading such a simple book! I mean... I was in honors!!! I have now seen that movie twice against my will! I looooove this book... but it's kind of boring the third time. :/ haha

Went on to read "That was then, this is now"..."I have read all of them as well. Love them all but Outsiders is my favorite. I read them as recreation as well in the late 80's. I think it is very intresting and cool that we both read these book at differnt time but enjoyed them so much. ( I was even born yet in 1972. lol)

I'm glad I read it, but I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it on my own instead of as a class

I did for 6th grade it was pretty good.

I read it to, i really enjoyed it
I was living in the suburbs and wAs on my way to becomea "soc". I was able to better empathize after reading the book.
More importantly I started to read for me Not school.
I also read rumble fish and that was then then this now and tex
I read it for seventh grade language arts.

I did! 7th grade
My school read it and we are now watching the movie.
I watched and read in seventh or eighth grade. I personally couldn't stand the book.
I am in seventh grade! And today we watched half of the movie.
My 7th grade English class read the book and the movie; I found it didn't capture any interest for me, and I still wonder why we read it for school. It might be just me, but I find the book cheesy, and not all that impressive in terms of literature and imagery, so why is it so popular in schools?
Some of my classmates say they cried at the end. I definitely did not.
In Texas, I read this in my ELAR class in 7th grade. Then I moved to New York and read it again in 8th grade for ELA. I also watched the movie both years as well.
7th grade! It was fun! But soooo sad:(
read in 6th grade as a class and then watched the movie as a class too.
read in 7th grade LA
Same here: 7th grade LA
I read this in school!
7th Grade very interesting book
Read it in the 6th grade
Read this in 8th grade but I didn't enjoy it as much because I was forced to read it.
Me! 6th and 8th grade
Didnt read it at school,think i randomly picked it in a library,and i loved it.Read it so many times and will again im sure
I not only read it in school and loved it, but I also read it to/with my middle school class each year. The Outsiders changed my outlook on things. Love when that happens. I also read Hatchet to them. Another great book.
