Compare And Contrast Socs And Greasers

In the outsiders we learn that the Greasers and the Socs aren't so different because they feel the same way about teenage issues. Both Greasers and Socs want the other one gone. They both wants what’s best for their gang.They both feel the same about issues. In the beginning of the story the Socs and the Greasers seemed like totally different people, and I thought the Socs were just rich snobs and the Greasers were just hoodlums. In the Middle of the Story Randy confronts Soda and tells him that he doesn’t want to fight and that he’s sick of all the fighting. At the end of the story the Greasers and the Socs kind of make peace because they both lost friends just because of all they’re fighting and they realized that all of this fighting is

Ponyboy was walking home from the movies minding his own business and then a group of Socs saw him shouted “Greaser” and confronted him. “Wanna haircut Greaser?” one of the Socs said. Ponyboy was just minding his own business and then some Socs decide to run up on him. They started threatening him, punching, kicking, spitting, and cursing at him. The Socs preceded with beating Ponyboy up. Ponyboy didn’t know what to do so he was screaming for help because his house is only a couple blocks away. His brothers showed up and started a dead run for the Socs, but the Socs jumped in their corvair and drove off. While Ponyboys brothers started running after the car jumping, kicking, and hitting it.

We’re gonna cut all that long greasy hair off.” They threatened him for being a Greaser and this shows how they don’t like Greasers. The quote shows that Soc’s bully the greasers for being poor and having trashy hair. The Socs are basically just pestering and taunting him for no reason except for he’s not one of their kind and he’s poor and a

evidence I could use: Randy was talking to Ponyboy about how Bob was a good guy and didn’t deserve to die. “I’m sick of this sick and tired of this. Bob was a good guy. He was the best buddy a guy ever had. I mean, he was a good fighter and tuff and everything, but he was a real person too…” This relates to my topic sentence because both Pony and Randy experienced a friend dieing and they both felt the same way about their deaths. Randy was talking about how Bob shouldn’t have died because he was a real person and he had emotions and feelings too.

Randy and Ponyboy talk about how they shouldn’t join the rumble and it’s a bad idea, “And tonight… people get hurt in rumbles, maybe killed. I’m sick of it because it doesn’t do any good. You can’t win, you know that, don’t you?”After Randy told Ponyboy that he wasn’t going to the Rumble and nor was Cherry Pony started to think. He thought that he would be better off not joining, and it would be better for his gang, and that the results of the rumble wouldn’t mean anything. But Pony knew he had to do it for Johnny and his friends. Randy was talking about how joining the rumble won’t do anyone any good, and that the Greasers had no chance of
