I believe that‚ in the book "Ponyboy‚" the Socs‚ socialites or social rich kids from the west‚ are more of a disgrace and menace to society than the "greasers‚" the poorer students from the east. The Socs’ idea of fun is throwing big parties‚ including beer blasts‚ and jumping greasers. They drive Mustangs‚ Corvairs and Corvettes. "Greasers are almost like hoods. They steals things‚ drive souped- up old cars‚ hold up gas stations and have gang fights once in a while." Page 3’. Socs wear madras shirts

The story line goes in a clear way and it lures me a lot to know about how the next step goes to. My favourite part of the book is the chapter ‘hide and seek’ which its article has already got my attention from my first sight. The chapter talks about how James tries to trick Bella to the dance studio that he has got her mother and attacks her. The description makes an atmosphere

Ishmael The theoretical perspective I plan to use when evaluating the book Ishmael by Daniel Quinn is the structural / functionalist perspective because it evaluates the subjects that are valued highly in Ishmael. The structural / functionalist perspective consists of a sociological paradigm that all aspects of social life have different levels that enable everyone within the system to find stability‚ order and meaning. Ishmael taught me a lot about the way society is and how Takers and Leavers
