Throughout “The Outsiders” the socioeconomic differences roles play a key part in the development of the story. There are two main groups in the story‚ the Socs and the Greasers‚ who are torn apart by this difference. The Socs are rich kids from the West-side and their name is an abbreviation for the Socials.
