In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, the story is not fair because a
greaser named Ponyboy gets attacked in a park with his friend Johnny. Ponyboy
ends up killing one of the socs that were drowning them and Ponyboy and Johnny
run away thinking that they will be executed if they are caught. They hide out
in an abandoned church for a couple of days, then leave for a couple of hours.
When they come back, the church is on fire and there are kids from a school
trip stuck inside. Ponyboy and Johnny run in and get the kids out, but when
they are leaving a part of the church collapses on Ponyboy giving him burns
that eventually kill him. This story is not fair because two kids who would
give their lives to save others get tangled up in a murder they didn't want to
commit.
This text deals with money because it
puts people into two gangs. The rich kids are part of the socs gang which is in
the rich part of town. Almost everyone else is a greaser gang which is in the
ghetto part of town. If you lived in the rich part of town you would probably
be a soc and if you lived in the ghetto you would most likely be a greaser. In
this book who you hang out with depends on where you live and how much money
you have. The groups didn't work together. Instead, they fought against each
other. In this book, money puts people into different categories and gangs based
upon how much money they have and where they live.
