First Impression...
Currently, I am reading the novel, The Outsiders, written by S.E. Hinton. Right of the bat I was hooked on this book! In regards to myself, I love the 60's/80's time period. Therefore, when the introduction to this book mentioned Paul Newman it was a done deal. so, it's pretty obvious i Am interested in this book. In addition, the novel is written in first-person! I enjoyed this a lot. For the reason, that it really allows you to see/feel the protagonist's perspective on his life at the moment. Now, the character's are incredibly descriptive. Hinton was successful at providing a clear image of each character. As I said in recent posts, I tend to envision book characters as I read so this was a huge positive for me. Furthermore, the protagonist, Ponyboy, is raised by his two older brothers. This is interesting to me and I'm curious to see how this shall play out throughout the story-line. To summarize, these first fifty pages of this novel is consisted of introducing main character's traits, the protagonist's lifestyle, and the background to a conflict that will soon appear. However, the author does an amazing job characterizing without creating boredom for the reader. Overall, it is only the beginning of the text but, I can already predict I will continue n loving this novel.
