The Outsiders Intro

In the book The Outsiders by  S.E. Hinton, lots of action takes place. The book is about a kid named Ponyboy who is in a greaser gang with his two older brothers, Sodapop and Darry, and some other locals named Two-bit, Dallas, Steve, and Johnny. The greaser gang is a rival of a different kind of gang called the socs, standing for socials. The difference between socs and greasers are that socs are rich, drive around in mustangs and corvairs, and dress in madras shirts and other clothing related to that. Greasers on the other hand are poor, don't own great cars, they wear grease in their hair and comb it back, they wear leather jackets, jeans, and white t-shirts. Greasers and socs fight alot ending sometimes in death if the gang doesn't fight well enough for themselves.
