They walked around slowly... I must have wandered around for hours; sometimes even out into the street, getting honked at and cussed out.(pg 150) S.E.

LIFE IS ROUGH ALL OVER: In the novel, Ponyboy learns that life is rough all over. Ponyboy states, “Half of the hoods I know are pretty decent guys underneath all that grease, and from what I've heard, a lot of Socs are just cold-blooded mean --- but people usually go by looks,” this piece of evidence shows that Ponyboy thinks that Greasers are judged and thought of as hoods and delinquents merely by their looks.
