385 Words2 Pages
S.E Hinton’s book The Outsiders is a story taking place in a city that is divided into two groups - The Socs and the Greasers. The Socs are the rich west-side kids of the city, and the Greasers are the hoodlums, the east-side kids. Greasers have a worse life because their family life is bad, they are poor, and get jumped by Socs all the time. The Greasers are very poor. Darry works two jobs and Sodapop is a dropout working at a gas station trying to help Darry support the family. While the Greasers are barely getting by the Socs are living large, almost having to much money to the point they are bored. “We are poorer than the Socs and the middle class” (3). This points out that the Greasers are very limited in money and makes their lives harder.
