One of the main themes of The Outsiders by S.E Hinton is the difference of social class in daily life, especially when it comes to making friends and the way of acting. Oilers and Socs are the wealth with the most opportunities to get ahead, while Socs are the opposite. In the book, he not only focuses on appearances, he uses the experiences in the personal life of each child to make the reader understand that they are not as different as they think and they have several similarities regardless of social class. There are several differences between Socs and Oilers or in rich and poor social classes; the main ones will be analyzed in this blog.
the way he expresses himself is also different, the Socs are too "cool" to talk about feelings with other people who are not in his close circle while the grasers have strong feelings and do not count anything to start a fight. but in the book he says that apart from all that they see the same sun and somehow live in the same place.
The way they dress varies in the same way, the Socs wear a well-pressed plaid shirt and usually white pants, put on black formal shoes, drink beer like a hobboe and have vintage cars while the greasers dress in black with leather jacket and tennis shoes, they smoke to look "cool"; the similarity is that the two bands always carry one type of knife.
The effect of creating friendships criticizing society, we usually see specifically from their social class and therefore their friendships, something that the author also judges to relate to real life that there is more depth than someone should not be judged by their appearance. Socs see themselves as superior in society because they have a lot of money and can contribute to the local economy, this situation can be observed but in the grasers when Dally was smart but did not have the resources to go to university. “But we just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won. And now he didn't have time to think about college. "This quote gives us an idea of how success can be easier for the rich, the poor can still do it and be as successful as anyone, therefore the success also changed depending on the social classes
In conclusion, society has an order and this book is a judgment, separating two social groups in different areas: opportunities, happiness and appearance. People are different regardless of their beliefs and race, but stereotyping can cause many problems in the world, such as racial or religious discrimination.
