Chapter 3

Are the Socs and Greasers really that different? Why? Why not?

I think that they are not all that different because they are both similar because the only thing that makes them kind of different is the clothes they wear like the madras that the Socs wear and the greased back hair that the Greasers have. Another difference is the feelings they feel, because Socs don’t mean half of the thing that they are meaning to say and Greasers feel too much, other than that there is not much of a difference between Socs and Greasers.

Are there any connections you can make to any of their characters and/or their situations?

I think that I can kind of connect with Johnny because when he said that his parents beat him up and get mad at him, my parent also get really mad at me at times and pretend that I’m not there, but my parents don’t beat me up or at all, it’s just that sometimes they are either so mad that they pretend that I’m not there or that they are really busy.
