Why Do Greasers Suffer More Than The Socs

Have you been thinking, which side suffers more, I will show you why the greasers suffer more than the Socs. In the story, the greasers are always getting bothered by the Socs. The greasers are always having it very hard everyday. The greasers do not have everything, while the Socs have everything. The greasers struggle more than the Socs because they were poor, their parents did not care about them, and they were always in fights. The greasers main problem is that they are poor which gives them a horrible life. “We’re poorer than the Socs and the middle class.”(Hinton 3) The greasers are poorer than the rest of the classes which makes them work for a living. The greasers work for what they need, not for what they want. “I had been glad to see them, but it bothered me because we live in kind of a lousy neighborhood and our house isn’t real great. It’s run-down looking and everything, and the inside’s kind of poor-looking, too…..”(Hinton 163) The greasers also have to do things they do not want to do, but have to do, for their families. The greasers also have to do
“Our front door is always unlocked in case one of the boys is hacked off at his parents and needs a place to lay over and cool off.”(Hinton 105) The greasers do not only have to worry about the Socs, but also have to worry about their parents. The greasers have no one to go to, for example their parents do not care about them. “His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him, except when she was hacked off at something….”(Hinton 12) The greasers do not just have to worry about their parents not caring about them, but they also have to worry about getting whipped by their parents. The greasers have to stick together so they can be safe and live a life without fear. The greasers have a horrible life because of their parents, but also, they always have to fight to defend
