    They Are Different Because The Socs Are Richer and The Greasers are poor,and They express there feeling and the socs do not.

    the greasers have more vakues and emotions than the socials.

  8.   Rodney on October 17th, 2007

    I think that the socs are all about fighting.Some times i think the greasers want to make peace.and also the greasers are a lower class gang.

    they are diffrent because greasers are the lower class gang and they are poor, and the soc’s are the richer gang and have a lot of stuff. Also pony boy and his friends don’t care what the soc’s say about

  10.   Andrea on October 17th, 2007

    They are different from the socs because the Socs are more upperclass and they dont really go through problems like the Greasers because all they have to do is ask thier parents for it. The Greasers are more underclass

  11.   Josh on October 17th, 2007

    They are diffrent because the greasers are emotional and the socs arent emotional

  12.   Christian on October 17th, 2007

    I think Ponyboy and his friends are different from the Socs because they werent brought up, not rich like the Socs, and they do different things then the Socs.

  13.   kendrey on October 17th, 2007

    they are differnt because they ack differnt and they theylike differnt thigs

  14.   devon on October 17th, 2007

    ponyboy and his friends are different from socs because the greasers are emotional and socs are violent.

  15.   chris on October 17th, 2007

    I think they are different because of the lifes they live and the way they treat each other

  16.   Quwanda on October 17th, 2007

    The socs got a lost more money then the greaser. so it make them more powerful then them. yes then r
    because they can buy want they want and the greaser r pour.

  17.   Byron on October 17th, 2007

    they are different because greasers have to much feelings but Socials dont have any.Also gresers have goals to look forward but socs have more than they ever wanted so they are looking for omething they dont have.

  18.   zachary on October 17th, 2007

    by thwem being from too diferent places and one being rich and not the others.

  19.   dylan on October 17th, 2007

    they are poorer then the socs.they have more problems then the socs.the socs never have anyone jump them.ponyboy and almost all of the gang dosent have parents. the socs, i guess , take that for granted.

  20.   megan on October 17th, 2007

    the only thing thats different is the emotions.

  21.   kelvin m on October 17th, 2007

    i think greaser have more problems than the s.o.c.s.

  22.   Jamekia on October 17th, 2007

    They are different because the socs are always beating up people.The greasers are not that quiet but they will always proctect each other.So I say they are different.

  23.   sean on October 17th, 2007

    The socs think that they are better than the greasers because they are wealtier than them. Also, what seperates them is their values.

  24.   katie on October 17th, 2007

    the r different cuz the socs have more money and the greasers r low class….other than that it is a good book

  25.   Shayla on October 17th, 2007

    They are different because the greasers are poor and the socs are rich…the greasers have things they don’t so different from the socs….the greasers have more problems then the socs…..i guess since the greasers parents had died the socs take that for granted…the greaseers are diffenent because they are emotional and the socs are violent..

  26.   Crystal on October 17th, 2007

    WELL,,, DA GREASERS ARE A LOW CLASS SET OF PEOPLE WITH A I DONT CARE ATTITUDE; AND THE SOCS ARE A HIGH CLASS SET OF PEOPLE THAT THINK THEY ARE BETTER THAN EVERY ONE ELSE……..THEY ARE DIFFERENT BECUZ DEY HAVE DIFFERENT FEELINS TOWARD OTHERS PEOPLEZ

  27.   blaize on October 17th, 2007

    Rodney-i think they are differnt because how they all be treating each other and their lifestyle an greasers have a more common emotion than the socs

  28.   ashley on October 17th, 2007

    tha greasers from the socs because the greasers have alota emotins and tha socs dont…the greasers also are like kinda poor tha socs are rich they drive mustangs and all that other stuff

  29.   Rashaun on October 17th, 2007

    I think there different the gresers are poor and the socs are rich. The brothers are all in the same gang.

  30.   Jamekia on October 17th, 2007

    yeah megan i think that too cuz they feel one way and the socs feel different way

  31.   Chris on October 17th, 2007

    They are diferent because the Socs feel to litle about things while Pony Boy and his friends feel to much.

  32.   ALEXNDER on October 17th, 2007

    they are poor. / greaser are poor & socs are rich.

  33.   Jasmine H on October 17th, 2007

    I think the socs are different from the greaser because the socs have more money and just don’t care a much as the greaser do.

  34.   Kelvin B on October 17th, 2007

    I’m thinking the same because there life is different the and the socs treat them different because they are poor.

  35.   KEVON on October 17th, 2007

    Im thinking the same way Rondey because like u sad the socs are always trin fght but the greaes are trin to make peace ya digg

  36.   Nathaniel S on October 17th, 2007

    I think that the socs & the greasers could get along if they set their differwnces aside & got to know each other like PonyBoy got to know Cherry.
    I also think that the socs are(in my opinion)a bunch of stuck up kids/BRATS & thats from the HEART!!!

  37.   Angalic on October 17th, 2007

    DA GREASERS R DIFFERENT FROM DA SOCS CUZ DEY HAVE DIFFERENT VALUES,FEELINGS, AND PERSONALITIES
    DA SOCS THINK VERY HIGH OF THEMSELVES AND THINK DEY R BETTER DEN EVERYBODY ELSE AND DEY AIN’T
