Personal Narrative: Are You A Socs Or Greasers

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.

Being a CNA is hard and taxing on people mentally and physically. It a tiresome job that turns most people off from the start. But, I do think joy can be found in this job. Most will say that being a CNA is like being a glorified butt wiper which I mean yes we do wipe butts but there is a lot more to the job then that. There is relationships that are built with the residents and patients that is unique to a CNA. My job is hard and sometimes I just want to throw in the towel. But then there's that moment that changes it all and makes you love the job even though it very hard. Being a CNA is all about the passion, relationships with people and hard work.

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

In the book The Outsiders, Ponyboy talks about how the rich Socs girls acted, and how the poor Greaser girls acted. When Ponyboy first met Cherry, and Marcia he said it was nice to hangout, and talk to the soc girls. He said they were nothing like the greaser girls, and he didn’t like greaser girls. Ponyboy said “I quit worrying about everything, and thought about how nice it was to sit with a girl without having to listen to her swear or to beat her off with a club.” (Hinton 35). Ponyboy was talking about Cherry a rich Soc girl being different then the poor Greaser girls. He feels like they are easier to talk to and easier to have a conversation with. He likes that they don’t swear, and are smart. He talks about how the poor Greaser girls swear, are disrespectful, are always fighting, and are always troublemakers by flirting with other guys. Another example of the rich (Socs) vs poor (Greasers) is there education. In the book The Outsiders, it talks about how the Greasers (the poor) don’t speak right. It also talks about how the Greasers, and Socs went to the same school.

People automatically think the greasers are bad just because they're not rich and have a hard life. The rich think they're better then the poor because they have more money, so they treat them like trash. Greasers can't walk alone too much or they'll get jumped, or someone will come by and scream "Greaser!" at them... We get jumped by the Socs.

Socs are expected to be rich and to have things like “... money, cars and futures.” says Ponyboy. They’re expected to have big houses, wear nice clothes, talk nice, they were basically expected to be perfect, but at the same time heartless and mean. Greasers were expected to be tough, mean, and poor. They were expected to be the exact opposite of the Socs, they didn’t even live on the West Side, where Socs lived. They were accused of stealing and some Greasers get treated differently

There are greasers and socs. The socs hate the greasers. But here's my question why do the socs the hate the greasers so much. The novel The Outsiders by S.E Hinton there was a family but they were brothers and they were greasers. And there is a group of rich kids called the socs. And then will change everything. S.E Hinton theme “things are rough all over” is evident in the struggles greasers and socs face. However, the greasers faced more struggles than the socs because the socs are more richer than the greasers. Everybody hates the greasers and even though socs get into trouble a lot of trouble, they get all the breaks.

My first reason that the greasers have it worse off is because they hardly have any family too where there friends are their family. The reason that i chose

The Greasers think that all the Soc’s have it easy because they have money and their privledged. The Soc’s think Greasers are poweless because they don’t have a lot of money, So the Soc’s feel entitled. The greasers risk their lives to help others and eachother. Such as when Ponyboy and Johnny went into the church that was up in flames to save 8 children from the fire. For example “We dropped the last of the kids out

The most important reason is the greasers live in poverty, while the Socs are rich. Pony says “were poorer than the Socs and the middle class.”(Hinton 13). The quote shows they are the poorest class. One of the things about being poor is most of the people have to work in your family. There are many struggles that come

Also they do not relate to each other as individuals so they just don’t know the Greasers but they always knew to not like them. The Socs hate the greasers so much because they feel they are better than them and feel the need to be mean. Also just because you're rich doesn’t mean that you’re life is amazing. Maybe the Socs want lives like the greasers because they are more free and they feel the need to jump them to show who has power and that the greasers are powerless.

Not all of them are true greasers for example Ponyboy he loves school, reading, writing, and going to the movies. He can’t ever talk to anybody about his feelings. Only Johnny, Johnny is real fragile from how he grew up, with his dad always beaten on him and kicking him out. You would think he’d be all tough growing up on the streets jumping from house to house. The rest of the greasers got brown hair, all shaggy and greasy, some of them are pretty built, they can sure pull it off, especially Sodapop, he can sure pick up the ladies except the one he wants. Now on the other hand the Socs, snotty brats thinking about no one and their feelings. They make fun of the greasers, how they have gross hair and how they dress, just because the Socs got money, sharp looking clothes and cars. They’re real mean, they jumped johnny so bad the whole gang of greasers thought he was dead when they found him. They jump greasers when they’re alone or maybe two of them together, mostly always four of them in one

Greasers love each other like brothers that they will cry and tell each other what is wrong. The Socs think they are better than than everyone else because of their wealth. “You get a little money and the whole world hates you.”(Hinton,117) The example is not accurate because people do not hate on other people just because of money. Then at the same time the example is reasonable because they can afford things they wanted, but the greasers dream big but do not get mad over it. “Were too cool too feel anything.”(Hinton,38) This is not valid because they are not cooler than everybody. This is also flawed because everyone is equal. The greasers struggle more than the Socs because they are poor. The greasers and Socs are equal to each other in society but not moneywise. People should not judge other people because of how much money they have or where they live. The greasers are poor and the Socs judge then because of their wealth. The greasers care about each other like a family unlike the Socs. The greasers are unloved by their parents who do not care about what they do. The greasers go through more struggles than the Socs because they are poor and unloved. They also get judged by people

I’m a soc because….. i’m not poor. The difference between a soc and a greaser is that greasers are poor and have to work to get money and they sometimes admire different cars. Socs are mean guys that live the good life and don’t have to work to get paid. Socs get the best things like the best cars and the best clothes. Greasers get the bad end of the stick. Mostly because greasers get jumped by the socs and the socs dont really care how the greasers feel. Sometimes socs almost kill greasers.

How many different “hats” do we each wear on a daily bases. From our careers, to our family and friends we all have different identities that we claim and live out day to day. These identities help us define who we are. “When we identify ourselves, we draw on a host of different characteristics associated with various social groups to which we belong” (King 2012, pg. 429). My ornament is explaining the social identity through a snow-women and her many hats.
