Heros In The Outsiders By S. E. Hinton

Heros heros heros what does it mean to be a hero, what must be done in order to achieve the name of being a hero. In The Novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there are two different gangs. There are the Socs and the Greasers. The Socs were the wealthier, better looking, and smarter. While on the other hand the Greasers are quite the opposite. Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally are Greasers.

Johnny admired those men and Dally for their bravery, and when circumstances required his action, Johnny acted bravely as well. When the church building caught on fire, Johnny acted as bravely as those southern gentlemen who "rode into sure death because they were gallant."
