The Outsiders (Relating To My Life)

"The Outsiders" by S.E Hinton relates to my life because, both sides of my family comes from gangs. My great grandfather, my dad, and uncle all have gang related experience. My great grandfather spent 10 years in prison. One of my uncles spent most of his life in and out of prisons such as San Quentin. So when I read a book like this, where these kids in gangs are fighting each other, it make me remember  how big a waste of time the gang life is. Even some of my family member have realized this and turned their lives around.
