Things you probably don't know about The Outsiders pt. 2

For this blog post, I'm going to be continuing my last blog post since it interests me a lot. It's going to be continuing the facts about the process of the book, the thoughts that went into writing it, and the outcome of it being published. 
  The publishing of an original and relatable novel helped teachers to grasp the attention of students who had gotten tired of using boring, traditional books in English class. It really made a difference in schools and helped teachers see the perspective of the students.
   Another fact about the book is that it was actually the fans of Hinton who convinced a big time director named Francis Coppola to make The Outsiders into a book. Francis started considering directing the movie when high school students in California sent him a petition, appointing him as the best suited director to adapt the novel they adore so much. If it wasn't for the love and support of Susan's fans, Coppola might not have found the book to make a movie out of. That's it for this blog post.
