The Outsiders Vs. Socs In Ray Bradbury's 'Greaser'

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

“A Generation Struggling” rich kids, the Socs, are just spending money on drugs. That is to say they have too much money to know what to do with. In addition, the drugs and drinks they buy get them in trouble with the law. Also, in “The Outsiders” the Greasers have a hard time affording things. For example, they live in a bad house and have old clothes. They also don’t have many cars or means of travel. In conclusion, the Greasers and Socs both have problems with money.

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.

Right off the bat you know the two groups the Socs and the Greasers and you know the Socs have lots of wealth and the Greasers do not. “People know Greasers are like hoods.”(3) The Greasers steal things and drive old souped up cars. “Since Greasers have no money some have dropped out of school to get a job.”(43) Darry dropped out to get money 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

The difference in social class definitely took its toll on the two of these gangs. The Soc’s and Greaser’s opinion would change from with experiences, but for the most part it was a clash for who owned the town. The Socs were the “good guys” and the Greasers were the “troublemakers” of town, although this was definitely not the case but because of the unchanging prejudice opinions were placed on both of the groups it would not change. For example, Ponyboy explained that maybe the Greasers and Socs aren’t so different after all. On page 40, Ponyboy starts to wonder how different he is from any of the Socs, “It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the

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.

The Greasers were really poor people that can’t afford anything in their life so they do bad things. “We’re poor than the Socs and the middle class.”(pg.3). The Greasers were poorer than the middle class, which means they are very poor. Greasers almost can’t afford anything because they describe themselves poorer than the middle class. “Greasers are almost like the hoods; we steal things and drive up old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations…”(pg..3). The Greasers would even rob stores just to get money. The Greasers describe the hoods like themselves that is why people think they are

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

The greasers were poor than the socs or the middle class. This may give away the fact after their parents died they couldn’t afford everything alone, so they decided to live together and split the pay. “Greasers” were like family since

The Socs are very different than the Greasers. One of the noticeable differences is they are more rich. They like to wear madrass and like to drive expensive cars. Socs are better known as good kids of the city. They are more rich which gives them benefits. They live in the wealthy side of town where life is good. Socs usually pick on the Greasers. They are not kind towards each other and they have a feud. Many Socs are manipulative because they can get out of trouble easier than Greasers because they have money and respect. Socs are able

Some people think the Socs have it worse because they are expecting more of them or they would be let down by their family and friends. The Greasers don’t get the the respect and also can’t walk alone or they would get jumped by the Socs. The Greaser always get misjudged and misunderstood because where they live and their actions. The Greasers have it harder than the Socs because of where they live in a bad side of town and aren't very wealthy. The Greasers don't get the respect and can't walk alone

The greasers have a tough life, although the Socs do have their problems. I think that the greasers have a harder struggle in life. The greasers were poorer than the Socs and this made their struggle a little harder. Ponyboy explained “were poorer than the Socs and the middle class”.p3. This show how the greaser can't afford much stuff and are poorer than most people.

The Greasers and the Socs are alike because they both go to Drive-Ins, both fight, and both gangs carry switchblades. They are different because the Socs have more money, nicer cars and clothes, and they also jump people such as the Greasers.
