Greaser

that Johnny needs the greasers; he is smaller, younger, and more passive than the rest of the group, making him not only an easy target for the Socs, but also for his own abusive family, who are often drunk, and hit him. However, the gang’s need for Johnny is less obvious. Having someone like Johnny around to protect gives the gang a sense of purpose.

as real as the others. Ponyboy expresses this well in the essay I mentioned previously. He says, "Randy was supposed to be too cool to feel anything, but there was pain in his eyes." (Pg. 116) Even though Ponyboy is different from the rest of the Greasers, that doesn’t mean that he isn’t without his flaws. Like anyone,…

Do you think Pony-boy should go to a foster home? Do you think he will be happier and stay out of trouble with his foster parents? If you even think somebody wants him? These' is all tough questions, that are hard to answer. The truth is that we all have opinion's different opinions. The judge should not put Pony-boy in a foster home. This is my opinion. I think this because he needs to stay with family, he also needs to be in a place he is familiar with, and his brother Darry has already given…

as an inevitable part of the life cycle. While the poem's message — that all beautiful things fade with the passage of time — forces the two boys to realize that they can't hide from the realities of growing up, Johnny's call for Ponyboy and the greasers to "stay gold" is also a call for them to preserve the hope and optimism of childhood no matter what the world throws at…

Both of the boys are greasers but not all greasers are the same which makes them similar in some ways but very different in other ways.

A way Johnny and Dally are different is how Dally is tough and…

never got the opportunity to go to college, or even have a suitable job. He works lengthy, taxing hours roofing houses to provide for us. Sodapop drooped out of school and began to work full time at the gasoline station to help with the bills. We're Greasers, so he never had a great quantity of money to begin with, so we attempt to conserve every penny.…

Sunsets play a huge role in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. They are mentioned throughout the book as a symbol that nothing good can stay, which is learned quickly by the greasers in their epic battle to remain superior to the socs. During the story sunsets are mentioned multiple times and each time portray a different or meaning to the characters. As the plot of the novel continues, the sunset show how the gang lives their lives. A sunset is defined in the dictionary as “the time in the evening…

wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by how much oil he wore”(Hinton 179). The quote shows that he wants to help others, by helping people understand those who are misunderstood. He surely revealed his way to persevere and show the world the truth of the greasers. Ponyboy proves he is gallant to not only the people but…
