The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
2.0
While the subject is interesting, social classes and how that makes some kids turn to a life of crime, I don't feel the novel dives deep enough into that subject.
So we have our two main gangs; the greasers and the Socs. They are at each others throats constantly. And our main character is one of the greaser kids, who gets into trouble with the Socs a lot of times. Okay....
Here is my question though, why are the Socs picking on Greasers? The novel doesn't really provide an answer, just that the Socs are wealthier than greasers and that is why greasers hate them.... But why do the Socs hate greasers?
