when one was her greaser friends was beaten when she was fifteen.
I had a copy with a Questions & Answers in the back of it, and Hinton said she had hung out with a group of greasers a lot. They were her close friends, and one day while they were walking, one got jumped. Angry, she went home and did the first chapter of the book (from the experience she had just had), and she was probably inspired to finish it some more, because of the lack of 'realistic' teen books at the time.

5)Her publisher thought that the readers of the book would not read it by a girl and thats why she wrote it.
