    “Stay golden ponyboy.” That means that Ponyboy should stay good and not do bad things. I thought the book was okay because it wasn’t really detailed like the movie because the movie had more action about the rumble or when dally robs a store and gets shot or even when Johnny dies. The movie was really detailed. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the Movie was more effective in telling the story.…

    The Soc's The Outsiders

    • 885 Words
    • 4 Pages

    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.…
