Greasers In The Outsiders

Then there 's the Greasers, who live poorly and get blamed for most of the things that go down in the city. Ponyboy, and Johnny, two Greasers, that at first, clang to the fact that they hated Socs. All they wanted to do was fight the other gang to look tough and earn respect. In the beginning of the story, Ponyboy wishes he looked tough.

Dallas wanted to help Johnny not become like him, hardened and tough. In summary, Dally Winston from S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders fits Finn’s ideas from “Please HEar What I’m not Saying”, he hides his true emotions from his gang in fear that he will not be accepted in his group for not being as tough as he puts on, and doesn’t show his true car and worries for Johnny. Dally Winston is an example of almost everyone in the world that has acted tough when they’re really hiding

Randy, Bob, and Cherry were classified as socs. The stereotypical behavior of greasers usually has something to do with breaking the law, or being uneducated, lower class criminals. The behavioral stereotype for socs was usually rich snobs that enjoy picking on people with less money. The gang were outsiders in this book. They were greasers, but they didn’t really act like it, especially Darry.

Greed was the main force of corruption in Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo; it has corrupted men throughout the novel. Damasio “El Tilcuate”, who was in charge of guarding the town from revolutionaries, has been corrupted. Fulgor Sedano, the right-hand of the Paramos, had dedicated his life to carry out the ‘dirty deeds’ of the rich: he has been corrupted. Father Rentería, the town’s priest, was a hypocrite, he hated the Paramos and the rich, though he accepted bribes from them, granted them absolution and neglected the poor since they couldn’t pay him: he has been corrupted. The main character, Pedro Páramo turned out to be the most immoral man in the novel.

In S. E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, two different gangs, the Greasers and the Socs detested each other. The author uses Ponyboy Curtis to demonstrate a Greaser’s opinion of the Socs. Ponyboy had an evolving conception of the Socs. At the beginning, he disliked the Socs because they are rich and have no problems, but he changes his opinion because of some discussions he had with a few of the Socs. His final opinion is that the Socs are just people after all, and they have problems too.

In the novel The Outsiders , there are two social groups, the Greasers” and the Socs. Greasers are considered stupid, dirty, rowdy, and overall horrible. Socs think all Greasers are the same. Greasers think that all of the Socs have perfect lives and they are all happy with no struggles. Neither of them are right, there are struggles on both sides of town.

They know they can do what they want, and then gain back their respect for simply nothing. They can beat up the greasers because society cares nothing for them, and would side with the socs instead. The cops also see good in the socs more than the greasers, they are threatened by the the money of the socs. They aren't threatened by what they see to be poor teens, that steel and smoke. In general everyone in society is threatened by their money, they feel helpless against their money.

Since not even Simon was able to change the boys, they do not even deserve to be saved. Simon, who was purely good, had not evil within him, could not even enlighten the boys, there is no chance for the boys to be helped. The evil within all of them overpowers the good that be there as well, however, when one is given the opportunity to choose, they will turn to evil. It is difficult not to be tempted just as "Piggy and Ralph, under the threat of the sky, found themselves eager to take a place in this demented but partly secure society" (Golding 152). The boys constantly become savage and follow Jack because it is easier, it is safer.

Topic: Are people truly good at heart? I believe people are not good at heart and are only kind and helpful when they have to be, are forced to be, or only if it contributes to their own well-being. Most people are only helpful when it benefits them and they don´t care much about other people's interests or needs, they do things that seem accommodating only for themselves. There are people everywhere suffering and barely surviving, everyone goes through hard time they must peush and struggle through. Their are innocent people are being discriminated and treated as non existent, everywhere there and kids, adults, races, countries, regular human beings being treated awfully because they are the least bit different from everyone else.

This apathy that is shown is where the danger lies in a deserted, waiting street. Even the innocent mockingbirds were silent, showing that even individuals who recognized the injustice didn’t have enough power or motivation to make a difference on their own. Lee shows readers the irony in getting into someone else shoes, because the fear and pity surrounding Tim Johnson did nothing to

because that is inaccurate it will affect them now and as they transition into adults. Body Participation trophies seem like a great motivator at first, but it will start to wear off. Kids are smart and later as the season goes on, children start to care less about trying because they know they will be rewarded anyways. Not only do they underachieve, but their passion, competition, and desire for victory is lost because, why bother if everyone a trophy?

When Dally picked fights or robbed he joined gangs this made him look like a thug. As ponyboy describes the gang he has no other explanation for Dally other than the fact that he is cold. When we see how Dally behaves we also get fooled by his actions. As Ponyboy gets the time to see all of his actions he notices that he truly has a heart. He changes his opinion of Dally from this tough thug to this man with a heart when he realized, “Why can I take it when Dally can’t?

Tom Robinson- An innocent man shattered by evil. Tom Robinson only went on to Ewell property to help Mayla. He had no malicious intent and was known to many as a kind, thoughtful man. But, because of the evil of the Ewells and racism, he lost his life for a crime he did not commit.

Despite the fact that the criminals are somewhat gentle and misleading, they show no mercy in their actions, but enjoy their victims’ agony and horror instead with no regrets, suggesting that the nature of evil is extremely cruel, ignorant of human life and that the human capacity for manipulation has no limits. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” The Misfit, identified as an escapee and criminal, appears, at first, as a stranger with friends helping a family that just got into an accident: “ ‘Good
