The Outsiders
The Outsiders is a novel by S.E Hinton that is set in the 1960’s in a city close to New York. It is about the conflict between the rich people, the upper-class, the west-side kids, called the Socs and the lower class, poorer people, called the Greasers.
The conflict between the two social groups occurs because the Socs are too real and too demanding for things. The Greasers are being jumped by the Socs and that creates conflict and hatred between the two groups who aren’t really that different, but Socs see Greasers differently and Greasers see Socs differently too. Pg42 “Things are rough all over.” Things are rough all over for the Socs, as the
Greasers see that they seem to not have a worry in the world, they have food, clothes, a home and people to love them. But they have problems that the Greasers haven’t even heard of. There is never real conflict, because when the guys are not there, conflict doesn’t exist. Bob is always doing what he wants and nothing is there to stop him, so that makes the Greasers hate him more and more conflict is created. The jealousy that the Greasers have toward the Socs also results to conflict, because the Socs have money, and the Greasers don’t. The Socs make the track team, Greasers don’t. The Socs go to college and Greasers drop out of school. There are many things that result to conflict between the Socs and the Greasers.
Conflict between the Greasers ad Socs happen because of fights, rumbles and discrimination between social classes. There isn’t really any conflict between Ponyboy and Randy because they knew each other as soft, those who don’t really want to hurt others. Randy didn’t go to the rumble because he had enough of it, he was tired, and Ponyboy understood. Pg175 “He was just like the rest of the Socs. Cold- blooded mean.” Ponyboy knew that Randy was like him – not tough, but
Ponyboy thought that Randy was cold-blooded mean afterwards because
Randy kept on
