They always have to show aloofness to represent the socs, and they can’t really be themselves around the greasers. They also can’t really do much when they are trying to look cool all the time, so it’s hard to enjoy anything. Since their stereotype is being cooler than the greasers, they always have to act cool, so…
The Outsiders Essay Are the Greasers and the Socs really that different or are they more alike that they realize? Greasers are a gang of kids, who live on the East side, that banded together because of a series if likenesses that they share. Socs are a bunch of rich kids who live on the Southside and have all the best cars, clothes, and alcohol possible. These two groups think that they are different, but their similarities outweigh their differences in 180 pages of literature by S.E. Hinton. Even though Greasers and Socs come from different worlds and have different problems they have more in common than they think.…
¨You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog cryin’ all the time well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit and you ain’t no friend of mine” (Presley). The Greasers are like Elvis Presley because they both use lots of hair gel, they have the same slang, and the same personality. However unlike the Greasers, the Socs are more like the Beatles. The Socs have the same parlance, have the same style, and are very classy.…
Greasers Compared to Socs Essay Don’t we all see the same sunset? It shouldn’t matter what side of town you live on, because at the end of the day, we all see the same sunset don’t we? At a certain point in time, this is all that Ponyboy Curtis believed his gang and the Socs, the other gang, had in common. Soon though, he learned that there was more similarities between the two groups than he originally thought.…
Greasers aren’t so bad, although, they do sometimes steal and run away from their troubles. They show honor by saving each other, saving random people, and standing up for one another. Although society might not know it, everyone has honor, rich or poor, but the point is that everyone is still human - they just make mistakes sometimes. To begin, most of them are not related to each other.…
In my essay on, “The Outsiders”, I will be arguing that the Soc’s and the greasers are not very different if you compare the two of them. This is important because people are always saying that the Soc’s started something or that the Greaser’s started something but in the end they are just two rival gangs that both do bad things in their own ways. I would say that I would not be classified as a Greaser or a Soc. In my opinion, the Greasers and the Socs are not very different; they both commit crimes, they are both loyal to their friends, and they both start fights. The Greaser’s and the Soc’s are both criminals and they both commit crimes in different ways.…
Are the Greasers Not so Bad Afterall? Are the Greasers all not so bad afterall? Is Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade and Dalles Winston actually good people. I think they're all good people for many good reasons and they have saved people's lives too. They also never leave anybody in their gang behind and always have eachothers backs.…
but with that they are both just confused people not knowing what is the right or wrong that goes for all the…
In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton tells the tale of 2 gangs, the stuck-up, rich socs, and the rough, impoverished greasers. Pony thinks that greasers are the only ones that have it hard, and that they’re the only ones with problems. He then talks with his family who agrees, but friends who don’t. He proceeds to go to the movies and meet a girl named Cherry who talks to him about socs lives. Pony then decides to learn more and realizes that even if you’re given whatever you want, that you will still have problems.…
They will antagonize anyone who does not have the same beliefs as them. Their wealth has put them in an attitude that no wants to try to compete with which makes them lose out on the important things in life. When you are consumed by wealth your attitude can change about everything for the worse. Another example is that Inez is a pretty self –centered person. She does not want to do anything Gil; her fiancé and the main character, wants to do.…
Who are the outsiders? What do you think about when you hear the word “outsider”? Well “outsider” can really mean different things for different people, but usually the way someone feels in an area or with a group of people. S.E. Hilton published the novel “The Outsiders” in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the age of 17. In the novel, there are two gangs, the Greasers and the Socs.…
They don’t have exploitation because they simply do not hate each other. In the movie they don’t show anything or provide any good examples of this so I decided they don’t have self-concept. By not having these two they only have 4/6 characteristics of a healthy relationship. They reach trust when Benny trusts Scotty when he holds up his glove to catch the ball, and Scotty Trusts Benny to hit the ball close to his glove so he can catch it.…
Stereotypes are everywhere in the world. Today many major groups of people are still being stereotyped due to certain events that are being witnessed around the world. In The Outsiders, there are two groups of people. They are socs and greasers. They are groups of people that stereotype each other.…
Because of this, greasers are seen as a menace to society, even if the Socs are just as bad. Like in this example where Ponyboy explains the dynamics, “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; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in awhile.…
They are a bad influence on each other because their plans aren’t small and meaningless anymore, now people are starting to get hurt because of…
