I knew that when I reread this book I was going to be once again blown away at how a simple story can have such an impact on the reader. I remember reading this in middle school and being so invested in the world of greasers and socses and that happened to be the case again. Show casing that just because you come from the wrong side of the tracks in no way means that you are a bad person. I will forever love this book and hope it continues to be read in schools.
