t moment when everything held its breath, and then the sun rose. It was beautiful." This kind of description made an image in my mind of a beautiful dawn-this was a word picture.The story happens in the 1950s in the US, it lasts a few days.

In the descriptions there are less simple words and more descriptive and artistic words (look at Setting and Character Development for examples).There is suspense in the book-usually in the middle of chapters-that makes the reader to want to read what will happen next. An example for suspense is when the socs have tried to drown Ponyboy-there was uncertainty and I was anxious about what is going to happen next.The way the plot develops is easy to follow and to understand-the writer does not make it too complex.To conclude I can say that the author's style is easy to read and not complicated.

Hinton.The book really focuses on what some kids in the US have to go through. One problem is how Ponyboy has to grow up without parents. Another problem is that the characters are in a gang and at war with a...
