Reflect on our reading about the two main character groups from the “The Outsiders.” Complete one of the levels below.
Greasers
The Greasers are
more than just Ponyboy's group of friends. They are more like family. Ponyboy's
other friends include Steve, Two-Bit, Johnny, and Dallas. Ponyboy's group
called themselves the Greasers. It is a reference to the gang's signature
hairstyle - long and slicked back, with lots of 'grease.' In many ways, the
Greasers are like your modern-day street gang. They commit crimes like
stealing, and engage in your typical bad boy behavior-fighting, drinking, and
smoking cigarettes.
The Greasers are
looked at by people as wild and unruly because of their appearance, their bad
behavior, and their poor living conditions. But underneath, the Greasers are
just boys who need family and belonging.
The Socs
You've probably
heard the saying 'don't judge a book by it's cover.' This is certainly the case
for the Socs, a rival gang comprised of rich kids from the West side of town.
On the outside, the Socs appear to be good kids. They have lots of money, they
dress well, and they drive nice cars. Underneath their goody two-shoe exterior,
the Socs are bullies looking for opportunities to attack. Like the Greasers,
the Socs are often fighting and drinking alcohol. The Greasers are often
emotional about the ins and outs of their lives, the Socs believe in playing it
cool. Some of the Socs we meet in the novel are David, Randy, Robert, Cherry, and
Marcia.
Level 1: Circle the different parts of the pictures that are different from each
other.
Level 2: Label the picture with
descriptions of each group from the reading.

Socs
Level 3: Complete the venn diagram
below. How are the Greasers different from the Socs? How are they the same?
