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

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

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

“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.

The greasers were on the East side and the Socs were on the West side. The Socs always jump the greasers even when the greasers are walking alone. In The Outsiders it states “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 page 2) This quote shows that the Socs were in the west side.“It’s like the term “greaser”; which is used to class all us boys on the East side.” (Hinton page 2) This quote shows that the greasers were in the East side. “Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped, or someone will come by and scream “Greaser!” at them, which doesn’t make you hot, if you know what I mean.” (Hinton page 2) This quote shows that greasers get jumped by the Socs even when they are alone. This effect does have on the character’s success/happiness because the Socs could do whatever they want because they were rich but the greasers can’t they would get jumped if they

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

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

Also the Greasers are people and so are the Socs. The Socs just happen to have more money, but that doesn’t make them less of a person. Lastly, because the Socs have more money they don’t feel that much, but because the Greasers don’t have as much money they feel too much. S.E. Hinton even stated in her book “Things were rough all over, but it was better that way.” (Hinton 118).

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.

One reason the Greaser have it hard to live is because they didn’t have a great deal of money.Everyone who ”We’re poor than the Socs and the middle

Who has it harder? “Hey,grease,one said in an over-friendly voice. We’re gonna do you a favor,greaser. We’re gonna cut all that long greasy hair off. ’’The Greasers have it a little tougher than the socs because there life is kind of perfect because in The Outsiders by S.E Hinton it describes the Socs wealthier.

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

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

Have you ever wondered if money could solve your problems? Well, from my point of view, money can only do so much such as giving you items,etc. But, money for sure can not give you feelings/happiness. From my perspective, I see that even though the socs may be rich they have a lot more troubles and are more broken while someone else, might see since the greasers are poor or don't have a lot of money so that makes it harder for them. Furthermore, Socs have it tougher than greasers because, when the greasers have it tough they have their best friends to guide them through the pain while If the socs, rely on money they might get drugs or alcohol which will make things worse. Also, the greasers may not have money but

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 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
