The Outsiders By. Hinton

“We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too. Not like the Socs, who 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. Greasers are almost like hoods” (Hinton 4). Society viewed the Greasers as lower class people who lived in poor neighborhoods. They had no cars and had to grease their hair back. There were seen as the derelicts and juvenile delinquents of society. The Greasers were an easy target for the Socs because they were already labeled and more subjected to be charged by the police. Society treated the Greaser as outsiders, hence the title The Outsiders. “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” (Hinton 4). Society viewed the Socs as rich kids.

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.
