The setting of this book is back in the seventies or eighties or at least that’s what i think. The book talks about how they wear leather jackets and boots. That is so the seventies. Also Ponyboys gang and him get galled greasers,and that is the seventies or eighties. So far the location is out side because Ponyboy got jumped by a gang.
The main character (if you couldn’t tell) is Ponyboy. He has a gang that influences him because they have been there for him since his parents died. That’s another thing that influences him. Both of his parents died in a car crash. One last thing that influences him if the other gang that jumped him. He was real hurt after that.
