Although Queen Rania of Jordan says, “We shouldn't judge people through the prism of our own stereotypes,” it may be hard to see through someone’s stereotypical traits. In S.E. Hinton’s realistic fiction novel, The Outsiders, Dallas Winston is a greaser who people might have a difficult time finding traits other than negative ones. The greasers are the lower class people of the town- they are mean, dirty and were known to be criminals. However, the greasers don’t only have negative traits. Dallas Winston has all the stereotypical traits of a greaser, but once anyone gets to know him, he/she realizes that not only is Dally an agitator, but he is also heroic, and he is the toughest member of his gang.
