Darry is an example, “He had been a real popular guy in school he was captain of the football team and he had been voted Boy of the Year.” ,16. The Greasers could have been average people but they chose to drop out of school and make them who they are now. One final reason that the Greasers are a bigger menace to society is because of the choices that they make. Overall from looking at both the Greasers and the Socs, it is easy to say that the Greasers are a bigger disgrace to society concerning their behavior than the Socs. This quote shows that unlike the Greasers, whatever the Socs do, it will not ruin their reputation at all. “Not like the Socs, who jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an asset to society the next.” ,3. The Socs did similar things but were not punished for them like the Greasers, and were still able to keep a excellent image of themselves. The Greasers were criminals and this gave people a even bigger reason to be scared of them and consider them a disgrace to society. Normal people would not do what they are doing because they have principals. This quote from the book shows that people will think even worse of the Greasers because of their actions. “Greasers are almost like hoods we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while.” ,3. If the Greasers and the Socs both did something equally as bad, the only people that would be blamed would be the Greasers because they are a true menace to society even though they might not truly be one.Īnother reason that the Greasers are considered a menace to society is because of their behavior. The Socs did bad things but they never get in trouble because they didn’t look like they would do anything bad. The Socs on the other hand are very rich, wore expensive clothes, drove Mustangs. They are below middle class and look like they are always trying to steal something because they can not afford anything. Greasers wear their hair long, dress in blue jeans and T-Shirts and leave their shirttails out and wear leather jackets and tennis shoes or boots. A quote from the book describes exactly what people thought of them, “But most looked at us like we were dirt.” ,15. Greasers were not the average group of kids, they were hoods. From just looking at them you could tell that they meant trouble. One reason that the Greasers are considered a disgrace to society was because of their looks. The Greasers were able to show this from their looks, their behavior, and their choices that they make. From looking at the two gangs, the Greasers and the Socs, in the book The Outsiders, it is safe to say that the Greasers were the true disgrace and menace to society.
