Its about gangs... The plot is its about a boy named Ponyboy and hes about 14 and he lives with his 2 older brothers( his parents died) and they are "greasers" and they get in a lot of fights with Socs and get jumped by Socs a lot. ONe night Ponybody and his friend Johnny were walking and  a car full of "Socs" pulled up next to them and got out..and well i don't want to spoil it  :]

Wow, I read it several years, and that summary refreshes my memory very nicely.  I think I saw the movie too, but I didn't much to it, lol!  I think I like the plot more now than I did then.
