Have you ever noticed in “The Outsiders” the differences and the similarities between the Greasers and the Socials? Well I will be explaining and showing why the Socials and Greasers are different and why they are the same. I will also be giving evidence supporting Ponyboys thought that Greasers and Socials are the same.

To conclude, The outsiders is a story about two different socisl groups, the Socs and the Greasers. Both groups feel like outsiders at times, but which of these two groups are the real outsiders? Or are the real outsiders the people who see beyond society groups? Maybe we all are

In S.E Hinton's novel, The Outsiders, there are many themes represented in the book, but one of the main themes is social ostracism, or the conflict between the economic classes. There are two rival gangs within The Outsiders:  the Socs and the Greasers.  The Socs represent the upper class while the Greasers represent the lower class.  The Socs, "jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next." The Greasers, who are on the low social economic side, "steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in

“For thugs from the ghetto, violence is a way of life - it’s what helps you survive.” The Socs and the Greasers were two gangs in The Outsiders. Throughout the novel these two gangs had a continuous rivalry. These two gangs were viewed differently by society. The Socs as rich kids and the Greasers as poor kids.

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

The outsiders, there are two groups of people that are called Greasers and Socs. Characters in the novel tend to believe that Greasers are troublemakers and Socs are the higher class teens. Socs are a disgrace because of their actions and attitudes.

Have you ever had a vision in your head of how you would like things to be, but then reality and expectations change that vision? Many people can relate to this, especially some of the characters from the greasers and socs in the outsiders. The first person I think everyone that has read the book can see this relates to the most is Darry. Before his parents died I don't think he ever would've seen himself taking care of his two younger brothers, or giving up his opportunity to go to college to give his youngest brother a chance at a better life, but because of expectations he must feel it’s his responsibility. Another person that expectations has played a big role in their life is Bob. Bob’s character is seen to have had the perfect life. He has the popularity, the looks, a good education, and he’s immune to trouble. All the expectations of a soc. But throughout the book you see how many of his actions are because of people's expectations towards him, and you start to wonder if his life was as perfect as it seemed. The last person who’s life has been affected by expectations is Ponyboy. Ponyboy is a very smart kid and is the least likely to have been seen as a greaser. He’s always been a good kid but since his parents died his expectations and priorities have increased greatly. This is how expectations have played a role in the socs and greasers lives and actions externally and internally.

In the Outsiders, written by S.E Hinton one of the main 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.

According to Frederick Douglass, “Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.” Douglass spoke of the danger and issues of organization and separation by class, yet it is the scenario depicted in The Outsiders. The Outsiders is a coming-of-age novel written by S. E. Hinton in the 1960s. In The Outsiders, the teenagers of a city are being ripped apart by a violent feud based solely on social class. The first group, known as the Socs, are the wealthy and popular. The second group is the Greasers, who are poor and viewed as the scum of the city. The

Socs are the upper class outsiders that don't have it that rough. Socs are very negative and uninfluential people that smoke, fight, and drink. The Socs wear Leather jackets and sweatshirts with cut sleeves, anyone could consider these boys outsiders because of the way they act.

In The Outsiders the Socs are rich kids from the West Side and Greasers were the poor kids from the East Side. Greasers were seen as troublemakers while Socs were seen as good kids who did not get into any trouble. Their lifestyles differ in everything from the cars they drive to emotion. This is because they come from completely different areas. Not only that, the Socs were raised by rich families and were perceived as good kids.

In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton is about two rival group called the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs is short word for Social. This rival groups have different characteristic between them. The Socs are rich and decent. They were mainly on the West side.

“Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped” (Hinton 2). In the book The Outsiders written by S.E. Hinton, there were many different characters with different traits, but were classified to be Greasers or Socs. The Greasers is a name for the kids that don’t have a lot of money, that steal, that drive dumpy cars, and that live on the East Side. The Socs are short for the socials and they are the West-side rich kids. The Socs tend to jump greasers off the streets, wreck houses, and throw parties. One of the characters is Sodapop Curtis. He is charming, tolerant, and optimistic. Sodapop is a great brother and role model.

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is about the Greasers and the Socs. The Greasers don’t have the best life compared to the Socs. The Greasers have to actually work for what they want, the Socs can just ask their parents and they’ll just give it to them. When you’re a Greaser everybody automatically thinks you’re a troublemaker. The Greasers have it worse because they’re poor, they have to work hard for what they want or need, and the Socs always jump the Greasers.
