ItвЂ™s certainly done more good than anything I could accomplish on a personal level. Who am I to change anyoneвЂ™s life? I guess the best reply is вЂњItвЂ™s the book, not the authorвЂќ and вЂњItвЂ™s the message, not the messenger.вЂќ A lot of the time I feel that The Outsiders was meant to be written, and I was chosen to write it. The letters saying вЂњI loved the bookвЂќ are good, the ones that say вЂњI never liked to read before, and now I read all the timeвЂќ are better, but the ones that say вЂњ The Outsiders changed my lifeвЂќ and вЂњI read it fifteen years ago and I realize how much it has influenced my life choicesвЂќ frankly scare me. Kids who canвЂ™t imagine living lives like those in The Outsiders. Kids who are living lives like those in The Outsiders. From convicts and policemen, teachers, social workers, and of course, kids. From twelve-year-olds and forty-year-olds. I receive letters from every state, from dozens of foreign countries.

And as far as I know, he is the only director to go back and assemble a more complete movie ( The Outsiders, The Complete Novel DVD) because those fans asked him to.ДЇans. He shot a faithful adaptation, consulting me for everything from locations to wardrobe, but it was the fans of the book he wanted to please. Not only for the respect, kindness, and friendship I personally received from him, but for the fact that he made the movie for the fans of the book. I was involved in every aspect of filming the movie version of The Outsiders, and the memory I cherish most is of hanging out with вЂњmy boys.вЂќ Thomas Howell, Emilio Estevez, and Ralph Macchio are familiar to most people, and conjure visions of movie stars and glamour, I remember a group of sweet, goofy, incredibly talented and at the same time incredibly normal teen-age boys. Although the names Patrick Swayze, Tom Cruise, Matt Dillon, Rob Lowe, C. It introduced me to people I would never otherwise have met. The Outsiders has taken me many places I never dreamed of going. So I was both elated and not surprised when I received my publishing contract on the day I graduated from high school. By the time I was in high school I had been practicing for years. I began in grade school, because I loved to read, and liked the idea of making stories happen the way I wanted them to. I desperately wanted something to read that dealt realistically with teen-age life. At the time, I was mad about the social situation in my high school. To deal with problems I had to face, and write my way to some sort of understanding and coping. Looking back, I realize how important it was to me to have another life at that time. Actually I began it when I was fifteen, as a short story about a boy who was beaten up on his way home from the movies.Д«ut I didnвЂ™t just write The Outsiders, I lived it. I wrote The Outsiders when I was sixteen years old.

It is very difficult for me to write about myself, and especially The Outsiders, which was written at a horrendous time in my life, was published by a series of mind-boggling synchronicities, and has gone further than any author dared dream.
