You are about to travel back in time, to the 1960’s. It was a simpler time, before video games, cell phones, or even computers. Even though the 1960's was very different from 2015-2016, you may be surprised at how well you can relate to, understand, and even learn from the characters in S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders. Today, you will explore everything from 60's music, fashion, economy and government, and even gang life.
