Themes: Poverty And Wealth In The Outsiders

Some people are suffering, how all the rich people smell money, and the poor people smell smoke. In the book The Outsiders, there are two social classes: the Greasers and the Socs.

I couldn 't ever cut anyone …..” I chose this quote because Johnny wouldn 't even hurt a fly, but when he was trying to defend himself, he had to kill the Soc to
