Greasers � Are They Heros?

Greasers should all be considered hero’s, well every society needs a “hero” to protect and help them. There are many definitions for a hero everybody has their own definitions but mine is: “A hero is someone who helps those in need and does not expect people to applaud or reward them for it”. A Greaser will always be a Greaser their convention is different from the Soc’s; they stick together, they support each other in hard times and they help each other; Dallas Winston(Dally), Ponyboy Curtis and

Greasers… are they heros?     In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there are 3 Greasers that are heroes.

Greaser Heroes What is a hero? In my definition, a hero is a person who risks their life for someone or something else. Although it may not seem like it, the Greasers are a great example of heroes. In the beginning of the story, they seem like bad influences. But throughout the changes they undergo, they become amazing people The first Greaser who is considered a hero is Ponyboy. When the church on Jay Mountain was on fire, he ran inside to save a group of children that he didn't even know. “I’ll

they would’ve shared popcorn in a theatre, passing a popcorn to everyone in their family and having a world of a time. They should have come before to see me, that is what parents are for! Parents should be there for you no matter what! Being a greaser or a hero, parents should always love you. My parents didn’t (dramatic

characters is Ponyboy. He is stereotyped as a greaser (a poor boy from the east side of town). Ponyboy accepts being a greaser and it affects him positively. Some people might stereotype Ponyboy as a hero and not a greaser. Ponyboy is a greaser, this is because he fits the characteristics of a greaser. For example, all the greasers have long greasy hair, pony has that. “Besides I look better with long greasy hair.” (2). This quote means that Ponyboy is a greaser, and that he looks better with long greasy

The Outsider by S.E Hinton follows the lives of two group of young adult’s in 1950’s America. The groups named “Greasers” and “Soc’s”. Greasers is a term used to class all the boys in the east side, which was the poor side of the town they were mainly known for their long and greased hair. Walking home alone was dangerous because the rival gang, the Soc’s could easily attack them. The Socs, short for Socials, are "the jet set, the West-side rich kids," who are from upper-middle-class families. Ponyboy

A true hero is someone who does heroic acts, not someone who simply “looks” heroic. This is certainly the case for Johnny, especially at the drive-in. Dally is a troublemaker, and he is most proud of his criminal record. At first, the greasers decide to visit the theatre to watch a movie, where they meet two good-looking Socs named Cherry and Marcia who are sitting alone after a fight with their drunk boyfriends. The greasers don't belong with the girls, because they are the rich rivals of the

I think johnny is the hero because he saved all of those kids who he could have let them die but he didn’t he sacrificed his life to save their lives but he did because he didn’t want them to die but it ended up backfiring on him and since he broke his back in the church it caused him to to stay in the hospital and he died after the rumble when they were visiting him but ponyboy is a hero to because he helped the kids to but he just got a big bruise on his back he did not end up like johnny did but

“Hero.” When many people her this word, they think of people with superpowers and cape like Superman and Batman, who are actually “superheroes”. To be a hero, you don’t have to been gifted with supernatural abilities, or even natural talent; you just need to do right thing and/or help others, whether it be saving them from a burning building or cheering them up in their time of need. Heroes can come from anywhere, and even greasers or hoodlums can be heroes. Despite coming from rough neighborhoods

quote Cherry is telling Ponyboy that Socs aren’t all rich snobbish jerks that get whatever they want, ‘“All Socs aren’t like that,”she said.”You have to believe me, Ponyboy. Not all of us are like that.” “Sure,” I said. “That’s like saying all you greasers are like Dallas Winston. I’ll bet he’s jumped a few people.” I digested that. It was true.’ (Hinton 34). In this part of the book, Ponyboy learns that his stereotypes that he has been forming over the year are proving to only be half right. Cherry
