Greaser Vs. Socs

). This implies that the Socs have nothing to do, so they resort to tormenting the unprivileged instead of doing anything worthwhile. The Greasers constantly receive the blame when the Socs start a fight, and the Socs use society's prejudice against children like the Greasers when the police arrive. For example, the Socs "get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next" (Hinton 3). This means everyone excuses their mistakes and blames it on the Greasers, and the Socs use mindsets like those to their advantage. When compared to living life in hardship and trying to survive, misusing privilege instead of using it to improve society is far worse, and, similarly, the way they fight is immoral.

I am a greaser because they stick together and don’t pick on other kids. Greasers may be poor but they stay as a family. The difference between greasers and socs is that the socs pick on greasers, they are rich, and they are very rude. The greasers, on the other hand, are nice, poor, and they try and hide from socs. The greasers have long hair that is greasy and they are the middle class. The socs are the upper class and they have really nice cars.

The Greasers felt like outsiders around the Socs because the Socs were the upper class. Socs were always in advanced classes so when Ponyboy (a greaser) was in biology class filled with Socs , he felt like an outsider. When Ponyboy had to dissect a warm and the razor wouldn’t cut, he took out a switchblade. The girl beside him was a Socs and she sad “They are right, you are a hood” (Doc B). So, when Ponyboy was in an advanced class filled with Socs and when

What Cherry Valance meant when she said this is that socs still have things rough because their parents educated them differently. This quote is kind of related to the one above but, what really shows that socs still have things rough from this quote is that they have a different type of lifestyle. Not because of the things they have/own, but because of the different things their goals are in life and their thoughts on things depending on the type of life they have and the way they were educated/raised by their parents. What she meant when she said that the greasers are more emotional than the socs is that the socs were always more cool and chillaxed because their parents never wanted them to be mad or sad so the parents always had something to give their kids so they would stop complaining or to cheer them up. The greasers were more poor and they wouldn’t always get gifts so they always had to get over things without any help or with anything that can distract them. Greasers wouldn’t forget sad things very easily the way socs did. Socs always wanted everybody to think they’re cool even though sometimes deep down inside they were sad, mad, etc. Another example of socs having a hard life just like greasers did is when Randy was talking to

In The Outsiders, both the Socs and the Greasers spent most of their time in gang fights and disobeying the law. The Socs were wealthier and had a higher social status. “We get jumped by the Socs. I'm not sure how you spell it, but it's the abbreviation for the Socials, the jet set, the West-side rich kids. It's like the term "greaser," which is used to class all us boys on the East Side.We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too” (Hinton 4). The Greasers were poor and usually came from

One of the main vs man conflict in the Outsiders is the rival between the greasers and the socs. The greasers are the east side boys who " steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations". The greasers, due to their family background and physical appearance, are being stereotyped as individuals who are poor and are provided with fewer opportunities than others. On the other hand, the socs, are " the west-side rich kids" who come from affluent backgrounds and" likes to jump greasers and throw beer blasts for kicks". In the eyes of the public, the Socs are the social elites whereas the greasers are considered the less privileged, second-class citizens.

Greasers are the main stereotype in the book but also there is a small part played by the Socs. Although the book is about the life and times of a Greaser there is also a ‘Socs Story’ in there, as throughout the book you learn more and more about the Socs and how they live. But this all changes. When Bob dies Cherry and Randy, the main Socs characters, begin to see that there is no difference between Socs and Greasers. Randy, when he talks to Ponyboy in private doesn’t call

To explain, the greasers were defined as Outsiders because they were poor and treated like outcasts.

The Socs and Greasers are complete opposites but they both have some of the same problems.In the book “The Oudsiders “by S.E Hinton,the main person join a gang but the gang has a enemy gang,the Socs.The socs are different to the Greasers but they both have some of the same problems.Some of the same problems the face is family issues,pressure from friends,and alcohol.

First of all, some Greasers have problems because of the involvement of gangs and the unbiased law towards them. In the article “The Allure of Gangs”, the text states “kids who join gangs feel alienated by their parents...want to feel like they are part of some kind of family”(“The Allure of Gangs” on page 40). This is important because the deprivation of parenting caused the joining of gangs. This shows that Greasers are more emotional and just want to be cared. In addition, the author writes “That's why people don't ever think to blame the Socs and are always ready to jump on us. We look hoody and they look decent. It could be just the other

First and foremost, wealth is a huge part of the social class because it defines your status. It is also the main reason why Greasers and Socs are separated. Ponyboy thinks that money is the biggest cause of separation between the two groups, for example, “I'm not sure how you spell it, but is the abbreviation for Socials, the West Side rich kids. It's like the term greaser that's used to class all us boys on the East Side” This quote of Pony tells the readers that society today understands the separation of the world. The people who have money and the people who do not. He also understands that Greasers do not have wealth like the Greasers because as

The difference between the Greasers and Socs in the society is the Greasers treated unequally and criticized for being poor. The Socs are bullying, criticizing, and intimidating the Greasers based on the economic level. Greasers have unequal lifestyles, attitudes, and financial situations, but still live in the same world, beneath the same sun as the Socs (Hinton 18), but repeat the same actions toward the Socs in a way of fighting back and sticking together.

In a place where rich and poor, good and bad are fighting with each other.The Greasers had a rougher life than the Socs.The Greasers had a rough life because they were poor and they always get in trouble by the Socs.Greasers are people that can’t afford almost anything and People blame them for doing bad stuff always. The Socs are west side rich kids who basically can own almost everything.People think that Greasers are bad juvenile kids who always do bad things, but in reality they are just poor people that had to do bad stuff because they have to.

A greaser is really a hood “gang” that no one really cares about but they get into a lot of trouble and go to jail a lot. A soc is in a higher class and are very smart and talented yet are very mean and brutal to the greasers. I would personally be a mean tuff greaser than the little rich kids that lose fights. The greasers and the socs have a war between them, neither of them like each other. The greasers get jumped by the socs all the time, and they are more scared of them because they are older, at least most of them. Quite a ways through the book, towards the end, the greasers and socs have a “rumble” it is kinda like a HUGE fight between everyone! All though the greasers won that doesn’t make any less of the socs. The greasers are all

I’m going to be inventorying, identifying, describing, and looking. I’m going to start of with the author S.E Hinton, I noticed she went right into the story without any backstory or background i've noticed from discussions a lot people don’t like that she went straight into the story, I wanted to mention that because it was very disliked in many discussions. I also wanted to speak on what caused the rivalry between socs and greasers, there was a lot that S.E Hinton left out that many readers were wanting know. There are many examples of S.E Hinton not giving background, explaining, or even just stating something better. Don’t get me wrong all together the book was really good, there was just some things that could have been stated better
