Similarities Between The Outsiders And Greasers

The Greasers and the Socs are two different social classes in the neighborhood that have their differences and take up their problems with violence. Socs versus Greasers beef gets heated when Bob the head Socs gets killed. Greasers mourn the loss of two loved members when they die. In the book, The Outsiders, Hinton uses conflict, dynamic characters, and static characters to show that violence is not always the answer. Hinton uses conflict to show that being tough and violent doesn’t always get you where you want to be.

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

How are the social groups related to the outsiders? The titles of the outsiders can be refer to several groups of people, the greasers, the Soc, but mostly the people who can see above the greasers and the Soc. The greasers are looked the wrong way most of the time. People think the Greasers are dumb, bad, and from the hood.

Ponyboy once said, “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me”. The Outsiders, By S.E. Hinton, is an outstanding book, and movie, that tells about the rivalry between the less fortunate people, the Greasers, and the more wealthy people, the Socs. The Greasers are an inseparable group of tuff kids, that have gone through many hard times in their life. The Socs are a group of good looking and smart kids who came from a wealthy background.

People face many problems in life, like family problems or being stereotyped. The novel The Outsiders has two gangs named the Greasers and Socs. Greasers are poor and have social troubles, while Socs are the complete opposite. Socs and Greasers don’t get along well and they fight a lot. In “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton the Greasers have a tough life and face many obstacles such as stereotypes, homelife, and getting jumped by the Socs.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

“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.

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.

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
