The Fight
By, Ty Larsen
Greaser Brothers
By, Gabi Stofferahn
Ponyboy sweet and sensitive
Writing a story for English that is
creative.
His older brother is Sodapop
that has never been in trouble with
a cop.
It was really bad
when we had our fight
It was a little sad
with a little fright
But right at the end
we really had won
It was kind of a bend
but our time here was done.
Gold
His oldest brother Darry
has never thought to marry
Always together
Always and forever
Now they are here as Greasers
But will always be brothers
Greasers Are People
By, Mathis Burton
Greasers are people just like the Socs.
They should be treated like people.
They are just as good as the Socs.
Greasers should not be treated bad.
Because Greasers are people.
Just because their Greasers doesn’t mean
their bad.
Yes, Greasers do bad stuff.
But it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be treated
like you.
Because Greasers are people.
By Kaylee D.
“Stay gold” is all I here I didn’t know the end
was near. Johny, jonny is what I think why
did you leave so soon, I keep thinking as I
stare at the moon. A greaser that’s what I
am. We stay out about half past 10. I stand
those Soces, But you know what we beat
them in a rumble, over my words, oh please
jonny come knock on our doors.
Stay Gold
By, Makenzie Florence
They were friends.
They were like brothers.
They had the same story.
They were greasers.
They saved.
One got hurt and died.
He died because he saved.
His last words were…
Stay gold, stay gold pony boy.

Ponyboy’s Life
By, Mikai Ricketts
Ponyboy is the best.
He isn’t anything like the rest.
He has 2 brothers Darry & Sodapop
They may be cute, but they never mop.
Ponyboy is a hero, he saved a bunch
of children.
but Johnny got burned at degree
one-hundred & eleven.
He wishes the Socs wouldn’t fight,
so he tried to stop it will all his might.
This is Ponyboy Curtis & his life
& Johnny killed Bob with a knife.
The Outsiders
When you are young
you often soak in the sun
When you are young
there’s things to discover
like different kind’s of color’s
When you are young
you have lot’s to remember
like those times with friends & family
whenever!
Staying gold is the key
to stay young for eternity!!
The Outsiders
By, Zachary V.
The guys were against the law
and they were a gang that ever
body hates. The greasers were the bad
ones in there neighbor hode and no one
can take that away from them. They
smoke and they get in fights and they
have rumbles in places. The greasers
are like outsiders and no one likes
them but the rest of there gang
watch each others backs.

The Outsiders
Tonight is the big rumble
I’m starting to stumble
I can feel my face
rumble. My stomach feels
like it’s going to crumble.
We are going to the rumble
I can see the Soc’s I’m going
to tremble them. I hate
them they killed Johnny
I’m going to kill those
Soc’s.
By, Raegan Furniss
Greasers..What are greasers?
A gang..More than a gang.
They are family and care for each other
Most don’t even have parents.
Even the ones that do, are dead
They don’t care for their children.
These boys hate losing each other.
Now Johnny and Darry are dead.
Greasers, they are a family, stick together.

Big Rumble
Johnny
By, Bradyn Ticknor
By, Sophia Cole
Tonight is the big rumble.
My brother told me not to
stumble. My stomach feels
like it will crumble. We
start to fight. It lasts
all night. The rumble was
finnaly done. The greasers
have won. and yet it
didn’t change anything.
He was beaten by Socs
He was mocked by Socs
He proved the Socs wrong
He saved them
He said they’ve got more to live for
he saved the kids from the fire
didn’t have a chance to save himself
he was a hood
but died a hero
The Missing Link
By, Lizzy Dabb
Stay Gold
By, Madi Hayes
“Stay Gold” were Jonny’s last words.
As I remembered as I saw a bird.
The bird was flying across the sky
but I don’t know why.
He flew across the sun set
like Jonny flew away dead
It was so sudden and sad
know I have lost my mom and dad
I think that bird was Jonny
because the bird was Gold.
When the going gets tough
We are outsiders.
We are hoods.
We are always up to
no good
We smoke and drink
And never think
Until we find our
missing link
We want to be
accepted for
who we are
but no one ever
known us not
by far.
By, Justin J.
When your lost in the city and you
feel like Quitin you can take a licken and
a wipen there is the reason to start quiten
because hay get a licken on a wipen be it
don’t let if it you don’t think it dose so if you
fell like going do don’t and just glow and row
your boat across the sea of life and row and
frow then ship of your ship and thet sea of
life maby evon get a wife too
We have each
other. But that’s
not enough. Our
only protection
is looking tough
Our missing link
is here to stay even though
Johnny has gone away.

Differences
By, Mandi Schaffer
gangs will get in a rumble.
one will fall & fumble.
the Soc’s have a loving family
who is always nice, bright & dandy
its nothing but trouble,
& some will pay double.
The Soc’s have everything,
The greasers get nothing.
No realating family to care.
Only the gang that’s always there.
Gang of Boys
By, Megan Henstra
From your eyes you see the hoods
And there the gang of boys stood
With switchblades and heaters
Greacy hair and tough looks
But they really watch sunsets
Love movies and read book
They’ve lost everyone they loved
They’ll stay together forever
And there the gang of boys stood
the top of the world is warm,
the top can be cold as well,
the top is anything you want.
the top is fun,
the top can be boring,
the top is packed,
the top is lonely.
the bottom is roasty,
the bottom is where you fell,
the bottom is roasted,
where you burn in hell.
A second chance is all you want,
with a strange white substance,
the bane of your existence,
Is it worth the price of your essence?
The drug isn’t worth it,
this strange white gel,
I told you this wasn’t worth it,
like a trip to hell.
The world might not give,
God does give,
The second chance you want,
So give up your material,
and learn to live,
Your life is golden,
Your choices are platinum.

Memories
Greasers and Socs
By, Hunter Wille
By, Ben Lamont
To gangs always fighting
One on the east
Another on the west
Both say there different
Some say there not that different
Socs are rich and lucky
Greasers are poor and unlucky
One side has one death
The other side has two deaths
Both are similar
The Outsiders
By, Kiri Christensen
This book about the outsiders
Has Greasers who are hiders
With Soc’s who are in a war
Right down to the core
Yes, they always get in fights
All day and all night
Saving kids from a fire
Put them in quite a wire
Alway smoking cigarettes…
This all happened because they had no
respect!
Power Hour
By, Kobe Davis
5 kids smoking a cigarette
Some are even making a bet
With Dallas being so tough
And two-bit playing rough
Soda misses his horse Mickey-Mouse
but they still do not have a good house
Darry working all day
with just little pay
Some wish they could be a soc for an hour
So that they can have all the power
On the corner I was smoking,
They came up in their Mustang,
Then, I was on the ground choking,
On the stroke of Midnight in the park,
The drunken Soc’s drove up,
Then my friend killed one,
As lethal as a shark,
We ran away hidden in a church,
When we returned we saw the burning birch.
Johnny died, born a peasant, dying asking,
Dally was killed by guns, I still hear the ring.
The feud seem as old as time.
While the Soc’s dominate some minds
The cold blood was boiling,
Before I was on the corner smoking.
Hoods in Town
By, Stetler Buttars
There were 3 Hoods
One was diary the big
Tuff dumby. Soda pop
Gas sashin worker. Ponyboy
the smart one.
Dally the big butt kicker.
They all work together
with some other friend
and they kick the SUSO’S
buts.

Stuck in the Middle
Different People Same World
By, Jason Hazen
By, Coralynn Harmston
Socs and Greasers
Completely different people
Socs live in big houses
With tuff cars and money
Greasers are hoods
They live in rundown houses
And struggle for money
But maybe they aren’t so different
Socs and Greasers are just people
With problems and death
But at the end of the day they all share
the same world.
The Outsiders
By, Andres Soto
Dally with 10 inch blade
And Socs with their mustangs
And Madras.
The Outsiders are Always Outside
By, Karla Arevalo
because we are the outsiders we are green
Greasers are red outsiders are blue
and parents are green and that’s
how they made the book
To make u read it so that
now a new thing to make purple.
To make a outsiders number 2
Oh yes vilets are blue because
they put purple in it ha ha that’s
a new one to make people laugh.
I watch all the fights behind sad eyes,
I run through the building as the fire flys.
I am being rushed to the hospital,
I have tried everything that is possible.
We fight all the Soc’s so do the hoods,
We all hope for something that is good.
I rush to his bed then to his side,
I stood there and watched as my friend died.
I run to the lot and cry a little,
As he falls I realize, I am stuck in the middle.
(Untitled)
By, Luis Mendoza
I see Greasers in a room
all smoking a cigar
they are hard as steel
after Socs came dunk my friend killed one
now we are hiding in a church
after we left we came back to a burning
church
me and my friend risked are lives for others
he ended at a hospital
now we had a brawl and we ran
now here I am reading a note
from my dead friend
Greasers and Socs
By, Marques Padilla
Greasers are hoods
Socs are “goods”
Greasers live in the west
Socs go in to there territory like pests.
Greasers are nice
Socs are like spice
Greasers are good but
Socs say they are hoods
Greasers and Socs both smoke cigarettes
but Greasers and Socs still make bets

Greasers On The Run
By Kailey Poe
By, Layla Diane Rodriguez
The Socs and greasers
Two completely different people
Greasers struggle for money and nice things
And the Socs have everything
Two greasers die in one night
One dying a hero. and one a robber
But the greasers and socs are just people
They are both humans
They both like sunsets
And they both experience DEATH.
two greasers on the run like brothers
but one murdered a shosh
so then they got on a train and went to a abandon
church
Pony Boy died his hair blond with peroxide and
cute his hair
Johnny only cut his hair
Then a couple mornings later Dally came and
woke them up
And then they went into town
Then they went back to the church and it was
burning down and
There was a bunch of kids stuck in the fire
So Pony Boy ran in the fire and then Johnny ran in
after him
So the saved the kids and were hero’s But the
church
Collapses on Johnny and He was burned really bad
The Rumble
By, Marcos G.
I get punched in the face
as I fell to the ground
in a blink of an
eye it goes from
standing around to
smiles and frown’s
we won as they run
out of our town
The Shot in the Night
By, Cayden D.
It was a dark and stormy night and we me and my
gang were walking down the street
all of the sudden we saw a pair of feet.
Dally was on the run he had a
gun when the cops shot he dropped and
rolled.
right before the incident happened Johnny died in
the hospital
The Outsiders
By, Rheanna Brown
A Gang called the Greasers always stick together
Who’ll defend each other no matter the weather
Then there’s the Soc’s on the other side of town
Who are constantly trying the push the Greasers down.
“We’ll win the rumble!” The Socs would say
The Greasers replied, “We’d win any day!”
A boy and a girl from two sides of town
Can see the same sunset as it goes down
Speaking of sunsets we can only hope and pray,
that the Soc’s and greasers will watch them together
someday.

A Day I’ll Never Forget
The East Story
By, Hailee Donehoo
By, Sydnee Malan
Greasers I have known all my life
7 friends stand beside me at all the fights
but now only 5 remain
Johnny my friend was kind and tame
but the day the Soc’s came and changed
He killed a man to save me
then we ran away in the morning at 3
to a church we ran and hide
then Dally came to see us kids
After lunch we saw a fire
the smoke rising higher and higher
Johnny and I ran inside
to save some kids
Dally saved us but Johnny got hurt
In the hospital it seemed grim
but when we saw Dally he grinned
But the Soc’s and greasers were having a
for the Soc’s and Jhonnys tumble. rumble
In the end Jhonny died
He told me to stay gold I don’t know why
The Death broke Dally
So he robbed a grocery store
pulled a gun on the fuzz
now he lays on the street
in a crumpled heap
That day we lost 2 greasers
That day is a day I’ll never forget
The Rumble
By, Parker Sewell
from just standing around,
to getting thrown on the ground.
it was hard to fight the Socs,
they gang up just like roaches.
and when Dallas came back,
to help us to attack.
it just blew us away.
when all they say is a mumble
and to think it was caused by a
RUMBLE.
I stand beyond the street
Watching 7 greasers in the east.
Having a reputation to hate the Socs
The Socs hate the greasers too.
One night 2 greasers walking in midnight dew
A blue car pulled up. What were they getting into?
3 Socs trying to kill 1 greaser.
The other greaser was trying hard.
To stab one Soc in that yard.
They ran away so no one could see them.
On a train they rode to a dusty old church.
A couple days later 1 other greaser met them at the
same
They went outside on and talking then took a walk
heard screams and clatters
So they came back to see what was the matter
A fire they saw and arose. A lot of kids trapped
All 3 went in and save all of the kids.
2 of them came out while 1 was still cramped inside.
All of the church crashed.
Now still 2 in care. The other one
was out of there. Now all greasers
wanting to fight. To punch the Socs and say goodnight.
It took a while
for them to win. 1 that was in care
came to punch someone in the
chin. All the greasers got victory for once in their life.
So then 2 greasers went to tell
the last one in care, they
won the battle for the little
bear. He stared and said some
words then lost his battle.
The one greaser said he couldn’t
die and felt a cage. Then
He ran to rob a store to
cause some trouble. Cop cars
rolled down the hill in the
rubble. Then bang bang he fell
down. Two boys in one night
what a shame. One died a
hero the other a hood. But
now for all greasers it was a new neighborhood…

Golden Hoods
(Untitled)
By, Jason Adame
By, Luke Laseure
Once a day there was a greaser
staying gold. Then another socs
was staying silver and when
gold and silver mix up it’s not
good because a rumble goes on
and like some socs they get
lit up so much they rage
quiet but this time socs won
the match. Which one day
Johnnny was chillen seeing gold all
over his hood.
Met a girl
Had a fight
Saved a friend
Took a life
Had to go
Left home town
Hid in church
It burned down
So young but so old
Stay gold…stay gold.
Johny
By, Zak Moss
My parents beat me
they don’t want me.
I got a scar on my head,
I killed a kid dead.
I ran away,
before the break of day.
I am wanted by the fuzz,
And now I need a buzz.
Its time to say goodbye,
I really didn’t want to die.
Outsiders Poem
By, Gracie Freer
hair slicked back with grease
they rome the streets
the higher class find this a disgrace
and has no problem punching their face
an age old tale the mighty vs. the weak
the Soc’s stand in pride
while the others slick back grease
we are just greasers from the east side of town
with grease in our long, tuff hair
those socials, the west side rich kids
push us around called us “white trash with
long greasy hair” they just don’t care
