  3. Internet Scavenger Hunt

  4. Susan Eloise 2. S.E. Hinton's publisher suggested she use her initials instead of her first name so that male reviewers would not ignore the novel for having been written by a female; she subsequently chose to continue using her initials so as to better separate her public life from her private life.

  5. 4 . She was inspired to write The Outsiders, her first and most popular novel, because of the two divided groups that existed at her school, Will Rogers High School in Tulsa. These groups were known as the Greasers and the Socs (Socials). During that time she also witnessed the beating of her friend by two other high school students. The Outsiders was published by Viking in 1967, and it became the second-best-selling young-adult novel in publishing history, with more than eight million copies in print. Susan Eloise Hinton, daughter of a salesman and a factory worker, was neither a "greaser" nor a "Soc," but more at home with the greasers, who lived in her neighborhood.

  6. 5 & 7. Hinton started work on The Outsiders at age 15 (in 10th grade) and spent a year and a half working on the book, saying that the hardest part was knowing when to stop. Having taught herself to type because she couldn't read her own handwriting, she typed out the first draft, 40 pages, single-spaced.

  7. The Greasers & The Socs The Greasers—Are the poorer kids and live on a different side of town from the Socs. The Greasers wear jeans, T-shirts, jean jackets, or leather jackets. Their hair often looks greasy from hair products. The Socs—Are the wealthy kids that live on the “rich” side of town. The Socs have cars and wear Madras plaid shirts. --Both groups fight, drink, and smoke cigarettes.

  8. Madras—a type of cotton plaid fabric. The Socs wear madras shirts.

  9. Rumble—a fight. Usually a big fight with two groups or gangs and multiple participants. During the rumble scene in The Outsiders movie, locals were used as 'extras'.  Swayze recalls things getting "...a little too real, one guy coldcocked me square in the face.  so I knocked him out.  I really didn't mean to hit him that hard..."

  11. 12. Paul Newman Actor mentioned on the very first page of the novel “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman—he looks tough and I don’t.”
