appearance bullying. In the book the Socials (a.k.a Socs) jump Greasers because they are Greasers. The Socs continue bullying the Greasers just because they feel like it. Also, sometimes people bully other people so they do not get bullied themselves. The middle class and upper class put the stereotype type on Greasers that, all Greasers are mean, rough, and tough. Maybe to protect themselves Socs bully and pick on Greasers, which is wrong. The Greasers do not do anything to them so why should…

that everyone who’s in that person’s group are carbon copies of that person. In The Outsiders, Greasers and Socs are always stereotyped by each other due to the experiences they’ve had. Each group thinks everyone in the other group is the exact same. Every Soc thinks a Greaser is someone that has long hair loaded with hair grease and has an empty-handed family (S.E. Hinton 1967). On the other hand, Greasers think of a Soc as somebody who has excessive money, Mustangs, Corvairs, Madras shirts,…
kids. They're both similar but the movie doesn’t show things the book says. The main characters are the greasers but the real main character is Ponyboy. The soces are the west side rich kids who jump the greasers. There are more similarities to go over but it says to list one similarity. Ponyboy Curtis…
I’ve read a lot of books with heroes in them, but in The Outsiders, almost every character is a hero. This story is about a gang called the greasers. All the greasers could be considered a hero.

In the beginning of the book it shows how Darry wants the best for Ponyboy. Ponyboy is walking home at 2:00a.m.…
