An example of this is when Dally, Ponyboy and Johnny are at the movies and meet a teenage Soc named Cherry who calls Dally a dirty no good Greaser. This illustrates how the Socs put a label on the Greasers without even knowing them, proving that all the Socs have been ‘brainwashed’ to this false reality where they have a predetermined assumption that all Greasers are rudimentary and inferior.

Darry and Sodapop have to work to keep a roof over their head and to keep the family together. Johnny feels alone because his dad is abusive and his mother is an alcoholic.
