Aurora Shen Period 6 The Outsiders Essay “Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs.” (98) Before the rumble, Randy tells Ponyboy about the futility of fighting. He argues that no matter what happens, they will still forget who won and the two groups will still be rivals. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a coming of age told by the protagonist Ponyboy Curtis. Where the book takes place, there are two rival gangs - Greasers and the Socs. Greasers are poor and the Socs are rich. This causes a rivalry between them, but as the story progresses, Ponyboy learns more and more when he experiences different things and questions the purpose of this conflict. The rivalry between the Greasers and Socs is senseless because it only adds to the difficulties that people face. At the beginning of the book, Ponyboy has a mindset that Socs have everything and lead perfect lives, but when he meets Cherry Valance, she proves him wrong. When Ponyboy and Cherry are talking in the snack shop, she states that “things are rough all over” (31), which contradicts what Ponyboy had thought, expecting the Socs “had it made”. Previously, he thought things were simple enough where Greasers suffer and Socs don’t. Cherry said this to show Ponyboy what he hadn’t known. This proves the rivalry between the gangs is senseless. Both sides already struggle with their own issues, and this conflict between them only makes it worse. The main division between the Greasers and Socs is money. When is walking home from the movies, he realizes that he doesn’t have someone with him. He’s scared of this because he might be jumped by the Socs. Here, he introduces the Socs as “the abbreviation for the Socials, the jet set, the West-side rich kids” and how “[i]t's like the term "greaser," which is used to class all [the] boys on the East Side.”(4) So far in the book, money is the main division between the two gangs. The Socs are rich and the Greasers are poor. This proves that the rivalry between the gang is senseless because all that separates them is money and if this concept of wealth being the equivalent of power didn’t exist, Greasers and Socs would all be the same.
