And, then she elaborated later but I'm not sure if I'll get this quite right. I think what happened was that she witnessed a Greaser getting beat up by the Socs.

It's such a strong book (compared to her later ones- every other I've tried hasn't been quite as good) that I've often wondered if it was based on real-life experiences, or at least if the characters were based on people the author knew?Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270303640902731044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-30507963067181596622021-02-15T13:09:13.954-06:002021-02-15T13:09:13.954-06:00I read this many, many years ago.

The movie is great and it really put those actors on them map. I thought the casting was well done. Tihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926060806244061354noreply@blogger.com
