Yes, I think that the gresers have it very tough. Well first of all their hated by the Socs. They dislike them becaues their a lower class group. and because the hate eachother so much we=hen geasers are alown the Socs jummp them, because they can. The second reaon the have a hard knock life it that the society thinks their nasty bad people. they dress badly and nasty. the look all tough so that probably scares people. so becaues of thoes hardships I know they have a difficult life.
Yes, the greasers have it tough be cause the society and the socs treat them wronging. One reason the greasers have it tough is because the socs hate them. The socs always jump and beat up the greasers for fun and sick amusement. They also pick on the greasers just for their fun. Secondly the society thinks the greasers are bad. The greasers are violent, one example is Dally had been jailed, and another was Johnny had killed a soc. The clothing the greasers wore was "tough" and "hard". Black shirts, and jean jackets are usually included in what the greasers wore everyday. To conclude, the greasers have a very tough and hard life style.

I beleave the gressers do have it tough. First they dont have good homes or familys. They dont have trustful parents. Also they dont have safe homes. Seondly there looked down on. The socs look down on them and they jump them just for fun. Also sociaty looks down on them becasue of the name they were givin. As you can see i beleave the gressers do have it tough.

I believe that the greasers have it tough. First of all, they have terrible family relations. Most gresers have no home life. Johnny for instance has a family, but he is not cared for and beaten. In addition Greasers do not have alot of wealth. Most are poor and must drop out of school as Darry did to get a job. Also, they cannot afford much. Overall, greasers have it rough.
Jesalyn C. Mrs. Miller pr 3
I believe that the greasers have it rough. First off, money is scarce. A lot of them have jobs, but they practically work for peanuts. It is very hard for them to afford food, living costs and school. Also, their family/ home life is terrible. Most of them have abusive parents or dont have parents at all. They can get beaten and are unloved. These experiences have hardend them beyond beleif. That is why greasers have a rough life.

I believe the greaser have it tough. First of all, the greaser’s home life is terrible. Johnny is beaten by his dad and neglected by his mom. He sleeps on the street a lot of times. Dally does not have a home at all, his parents are nowhere to be found and he sleeps on the street. The greasers and the socs also have a rivalry. The socs and greasers are always fighting. Dally always goes and tries to pick a fight. The socs and greaser don’t hang out with each other even if they like each other. Ponyboy and Cherry get along but they can never hang out. Overall, the greaser’s life is horrendous.
Troy S. Per 2
I believe that the greasers have it rough. First of all, the greasers have a very difficult family life. Johnny gets beat up by his dad. Dally has no home, living on the street. The greasers have it rough also, when it comes to their schooling. if one of the greasers make it through high school they're considered lucky. Some of the greasers had to drop out, like Soda, to support their family. Overall, the greasers lifestyle is horendus.
Jaimee H.
Mrs. Miller Period 3
I beleive that the Greasers have a tougher life than most of the Socs. First of all, most Greasers have bad families and bad homes. Johnny is beaten by his father. Ponyboy and Dally don't have parents. Some of the Greasers even have to sleep out on the streets at night. Another reason the Greasers have a hard time is because society looks down on them. Socs such as Cherry, for instance, won't let themselves be seen in school with a Greaser. Also, Socs think all Greasers are bad news. All in all, I think it is clear that the Greasers have a harder life.
I believe that the greasers have life very tough. To begin, they have very difficult home lives. Johnny's parents don't care about him. Johnny spends most of his time away from home, and his parents don't care. Also, Ponyboy has a rough home life. Both his parents died and now Darry has to support the family. Another reason why the greasers have it tough is because of their rivalary with the Socs. The greasers and socs are from two different social standards and they din't like eachother. They always get into fights. This rivalary makes ife difficult for the greasers because they have to always be aware if any socs are around. Also, everyone always looks down on the greasers because they don't have as much money. So the socs are looked at as if they are better. In conclusion, I believe that the greasers have life very tough.

I believe that greasers have it particularly tough in life. For instance, their family life isn't the greatest. Johnny, for example, doesn't really have a home. HIs parents don't really care about him. His mom screams at him and his dad beats him just like the Socs do. Secondly, they really have no money, or very little money. Since society looks down on greasers, they tend not to give them jobs, mostly becaus ethey think they arr untrustworthy. Society thinks they are they "nontrustworthy" becauase some greasers, but not all of them, steal, fight, and lie. So as you can see, I beleive that greasers have it particularly tough.
The One The Only Garrett G.
I belive that the greasers have a horendous life.First of all,society looks down on the greasers. The whole town belives that the greasers are the bad guys.They also, belive that they are the culprite for every crime.Secondly the greasers have very little money. Unlike the socs they have to work as yound kids until they have found money. The greasers also cant afford a car or good clothes. All and All the greasers have a terible life.

I believe that the greasers ave a tough life. to start, almost all of them come from bad homes. Johnny gets beat by his father because he doesnt care about Johnny. Another example is that Dally doesnt even know where his parents are, so he has to live on the street. Society constantly looks down at the greasers. The greasers are ofte thought of as trash and bad people, which some of them arent, but are forced to be at some times, like any other person would. Also when there is a fight with the socs and the greasers, the greasers are the ones that get blamed because they aren't as good as the socs socialy. Therefore, that is why the greasers have a terrible life.
Alex O. Per.3
I believe that the Greasers have it tough. Second to last, is their family. Their parents beat them up. For example, Johneys dad beats him while his mother yells at him.Darry, Ponyboys brother, always yells at him.Dally another Greaser has no home so he lives on the street. Lastly, society looks down on them. When they get into a fight the Greasers are the bad guys. As you can see the Greasers have it tough.
Marina T. Per: 3
I beleive that the greasers do have it particularly rough. First they don't really have a family, except for the gang. Johnny's parents scream at him, beat him, and don't care where he is. And poor Dally. His parents are no where around, leaving him on the streets. The greasers also have no money. Darry dropped out of school to support the family. Soda Pop works at a gas station to get little money for the family. Overall, the greasers do have it pretty terrible.
kyle.n per.3
I believe that the greasers have it tough for a few reasons.
First they have a hard homelife. thel are beat up like Jonny sometimes and sometimes dont even come home and sleep on the streets. They also dont have very good houses and they dont get any comfert or happieniess from coming home.
Also they have no money. the oldest usually drops out of school and has to work multiple jobs like darry. If they cant afford to go to school so they drop out and get in fights and join street gangs.
Clearley the greasers have it rough all over and have an alot tougher life than most people.
P.Hill Per. 3
I think the greaser ahve it tough. One reason the greasers have it tough is because of their family/homelife. Greasers don't really have a real home. They live on the streets, like Dally. They're parents don't really care what they do. The greaser and Socs have a rivalry is another reason why the Greasers have a tough life. The Socs beat up the Greasers. Some Socs in a blue mustang beat up Johnny really bad. The Socs think they're better than the Greasers because they have better clothes and nice cars. Because they think they're better, they put the Greasers down and make them feel like they're nobodys and they're not important.
I believe that the greasers have it tough. To begin, greasers have a hard home life. Some greasers parents don't care for their kids, so they have to live on the streets. They don't eat regularly, and have to sleep in the cold. Finally, the greasers have no money. Most greasers have to drop out of school because they don't have the money for college. Greasers also have to work more then one job, because they need to supply money for food and shelter for their family. To conclude, the greasers had it tough.
-Alicesen Paige(:
I agree that the Greasers have a life tougher than others. First, their family and home life is not so great. Some of them, like johnny,get beat up everyday by their parents. Other parents don't even care about the kids and coniseder them another nusiance. Also, they are in a big rivalry with the socs. The soc's always look down on them and look at them like trash. They also get in fights with the socs all the time. Overall, the Greasers life is particulary rougher than the socs life.

I believe the greasers have it bad. To begin the home life is terrible. There parents treat them like they are nothing the beat them up and yell at them. For example johnny, his da beats him and his mom is always yelling. sometimes he dosent even want to go home. Pony Boy and darry dont get along very yell darry is always yelling at pony boy. soda pop and pony boy have to share a bed. Soc would never have to do that. Also, greasers and soc have a big rivery. socs jump the greasers any time there alone walking the streets. sometimes they even walk around and start shoting there guns. they never ever get along. pony boy and johnny got jumped and jonney ended up killing one of the soc. all in all, the greasers life was very rophee.
Jacob L. per.3
I beleive the greasers have it hard.They have a horrible family and homelife.Johny for instance,always leaves home because his dad beats him and his mom screams at him.Also,Dally has no home or mom and dad.The greasers also have a rivarly between the socs.They always get beat and jumped.They also can't be friends even if they like each other.In conclusion,the greasers have it tough.
Sydney M. Per.3
I belive that the Greaser do have a tough life.
Johnny, Dally, Soda, Ponyboy and Darry for instence have a tough home and family life. Johnny doesn't go home till late or sometimes he doesn't go home. Johnny's dad beats him and his mother screams at him. Dally's parents are no where to be found and he is only 17. Dally lives anywhere he can find. Dally roams the streets. Soda, Ponyboy and Darry have a hard life because their parents has died. Darry yells at Ponyboy and Sodapop a lot. Ponyboy has gotten smacked by Darry.
Greasers and Socs have a big rivalry secondly. Greasers get jumped by Socs everytime they are alone on the streets walking. For example Johnny got jumped by the Socs and he had gotten beaten pretty bad. The Socs also have to act better than the Greasers. The Greasers are also looked down on because for example Cherry no matter how much she likes Dally she can't talk to him because her friends will make fun of her. Cherry can't even talk to them in public because her friends will always make fun of her.
All in all, the Greasers have a harder life than the Socs.
Michael G. per. 3
I believe that the greasers had a tough life. Most of them had bad families. It would be hard to have a bad home life. Johnny in The Outsiders had a terrible family that didn't care about him at all. They didn't even care if he came home at night. Also Dally from The Outsiders doesn't have a home at all. He lives on the streets wherever he wants. Society looked down on the greasers. They didn't have a lot of money at all All these things were hard for them but the Socs didn't have to worry about these things. This shows that the greasers had a very tough life>
Jonathon T. Period 3
In relation to the discussion topic I have to disagree that the greasers have it tough. First and foremost the greasers make the decisions that put the in a never-ending cycle of poverty. For instance as a result of some of the greasers defiance to society they dropped out of school and threw away their future. They get arrested frequently and make no effort to do anything else with their lives than barley survive. Next, they are affected by peer pressure but so are the Socs. Yes the greasers may be pressured to go to jail and grease back their hair and that may be bad. Though also the Socs are pressured into being different people but the greasers are give the liberty of being themselves and fitting in. In conclusion, the greasers do not have as bad a life as they claim to have.
Amanda Przybyl period 8
I agree that greasers have a tough life. Fist they have to fend for themselves. For example Two-Bit steels.He steels things like switch blades. Also Darry has to work two jobs for food. Since Darry is all alone Soda pop dropped out off school, to help out his brother Darry.
Next they have bad home lives. The Curtis brothers have no parents, that is because they died in a cat=r crash. Jonny gets beatin by his mom.
In conclusion i think the greasers have a horrible life, because they have to take care of themselves with not much help, and they have very bad home lives.
Thomas D. Period 8
I agree that greasers have it tough. The greasers have to fend for them selfs. For example 2-bit steals. Also Darry and Soda work to get money. The greasers also have a bad home and life. The Curtis brother have no parents and They have to steal to "get stuff."
As you can see the greasers had a really hard life.
Logan M. period 8
I agree that Greasers have life alot tougher than the Socs. One reason for that statement is the fact that Greasers must fend for themselves in life. For example, Two-Bit once stole a switchblade, probably for protection. Another example is the fact that Darry and Soda Curtis both need to get jobs to pay for food. Another reason is that most all the Greasers have terrible home lives. An example for that is that the Curtis brothers have no prarents due to a car crash. Johnny, as another example, gets beaten and ignored by his parents. To conclude, the Greasers have an excuruciating life compared to the Socs.
Tiffany A. Period, 8
I agree that the greasers have it tough compared to the Socs. They have take care of themselves. For example Darry has two jobs and Soda had to drop out of school to work after their parents died. Another example is Two-Bit steals and carries a switch blade. Also the society mistreats the greasers. They don't like the way they dress. Some greasers wear jeans and a t-shirt and have their hair combed back. Also when Johnny and Ponyboy killed a socs they had to run away because the cops wouldnt belive their story. In conclusion I think the greasers have a horrible life compared to the socs because they have to take care of themselves and society mistreats them.
sarah k
Gresers have a tough life. First the gresers have a rivelry with the socs. the socs are constently junping the gresers. Also the socs pick on the gresers because they look and act differently. Second
gresers dont have a lot of money. The society thinks they are bad because they don't have much money. Gresers can't afford all the things socs have. As you can see gresers have abad life.
Ben Deacon Per.6 English
In my opinion I think that the greasers have it harder because they have neglecting families. They also commit crimes. The police would believe the Soc's more than the Greasers. Johnny's parents are abusive. Dally's dad left his mom and his mom works to provide for him and his sister.
In my opinion I think the greasers have harder than us people
Haley. M Period 6
I believe the greasers have it tough... Some of them hve bad families. Johny's mother abanded him and his father abuses him. Two-Bit has only a mother and she works a lot. They also have no money. Some kids have poor education so they can't buy a lot of school stuff, and some wrk so they can't go to school. Some of the greaser are describted about the society/looks... In conclusion I believe the greasers hav it bad.
Melissa L. Period 8
I think that the greaser had a tough life.First, society mistreats them. Darry and Sodapop have to work which isn't fair. Also, the Curtis brothers have no parent supervison. their parents died ina car crash so they live alone. Finally the greaser have no money. Mostly all the greaser steal things because they have no money to pay for it. As you can see, I think the greasers had a very hard and diffucult lifestyle.
I agree that the Greasers have it tougher than the Socs. First the Greasers have to fend for themselves. For example Two-Bit steals switch blades. Pony Boys brothers, Derry and Soda both had to drop out of school so that they can work full time. They had to do this so that they can make money for food and clothing for themselves, and their brother Pony Boy. Also, they had bad home lives. The Curtos brothers had no parents because of a horrible car accident that took both of their lives. Johnny got beaten by his dad, but his mom just ignored it. In conclusion, you can tell that the Greasers have it way harder than the Socs.

I agree that the Greasers have it tougher than the Soc's. One way is they have to fend for themselves. Two-Bit steals for food and just for the heck of it. Darry and Soda work to support themselves and Ponyboy. The Greasers also have a bad home life. The Curtis brothers have no parents due to a car crash and they often fight with each other. Johnny at home isn't cared about and is beaten by his father continuously. As you can see the Greasers have it much harder in life than the Soc's.

maranda ray, period 8.
I agree that the greasers have it rougher than the Socs.First, the Gereasers have to fend for themselves. For example,Two-Bit has to steal to fend for himself. He steals pretty much all the time, sometimes he even steals stuff he doesnt need. Another example is, Darry needs two jobs to take care of Soda& PonyBoy. SodaPop even dropped out of school, to get a job& help Darry take care of himself& PonyBoy. Also, the grasers have a bad homelife. Darry,SodaPop&PonyBoy,(the Kurtis brothers) have no parents. Their parents died in a carcrash, leaving Darry to take care of SodaPop& PonyBoy. Another example of a bad homelife, is Johnny. Jonhnny`s dad often times bears him,& his mom usually ignores him.Clearly I agree the Greasers have it tougher than the Socs because the Greasers have to fend for themselves, and they have a bad homelife.
Ellie C, period 6
Greasers have it particulary tough. They have it tough becuase they had bad families and they didn't have much money. Bad families was a really large part of having a hard life. Jhonny was a good example, his mom ignored him, and his fahter beat him. They didn't care or love him, and they let him sleep outside in the freezing cold. Ponyboy also lived a rough life becuase both of us parents were killed in a car accident. So he was raised and grew up with only his borhters. Life was also difficult for greasers becuase they didn't have money. The result of not having alot of money is getting a poor education, and being looked down on becuase of the way you dress or look. They always had to deal wth people judging them on what they had, or what they look like. one example is since Jhonny killed one of the socs, if he went to the police about it and told them it was selfdefence he would automatically be acused becuase of his title. As you can see being a greaser wasn't easy and care free.

I agree that greasers have it tough. First they have bad home life. Jonny/Pony boy have it rough because they get hit by the elders. Two-bit has it rough because he only has a mom. Second the have rival gangs. They have to worry about getting jumped by the socs. Bob tries to downed Pony and then jonny stabs Bob in the back.
in conclusion i think the greasers have it rought cause they have to live with gitting jumped and hit.
Erika S period,8
I agree, that greasers have it tougher compared to the Socs. From day to day, greasers find themselves having to fend for themself everyday. For example, Two-bit and other memebers of the gang turn to stealing as a means of getting everyday isentials. Darry and Soda had to drop-out of school to work jobs, to support eachother and Ponyboy, do to their parents death in a car crash. Also, greasers have had bad home life. Johnny the timid memeber in the gang, gets beaten by his dad while his mother does'nt do a thing. Ponyboy(Curtis) and his brother have no parents, Darry, the oldest takes care of Soda and Ponyboy and has taken the role as to parents while he's still a kid himself. As you can see, the greasers have life more diffucult and rougher then the Socs do.
I agree that the greasers have it tough.To start, they hava a bad home life. Johnny gets beat all of the time by his drunk father. Ponyboy got slapped by Darry and he ran away. Next, the greasers have a rivalry with the socs. The greasers are always getting jumped by the socs. Bob also tried drowning Ponyboy and Johnny killed him with his switchblade. Clearly, that is why the greasers have a horrible life. - Megan McGee

do the greasers have it tough?
yes i think that the greasers have it tough. they have many reasons on why i think there way of life is tough. my first reason is that the socs hate them (socs are snooty rick kids who love to pick on the greasers) they have a rivilry, which is a competition. they jump the greasers and beat them up or sometimes kill them. they wuld pick on them just cause they have less money than the socs. my second reason on why i think that greasers lives are tough is that soiciety thinks there bad witch means there hated by a lot of people. the reasons they think that there bad to soiciety is that they get into voilence like two-bit and dally (they are greasers) they go to jail. as you can see life for greasers is very difficult in some situations in day to day life from now to then.
Erin Burris Period 3
After reading the first four chapters of “The Outsiders”, I believe that the Greasers do have a particularly tough life. Everyone has problems but the Greasers have to live in poverty most of the time, which results in many of them taking extra jobs to make ends meet, like Darry. This also results in some of them being forced to steal to survive. Some of the Greasers families are practically ripped apart such as Ponyboy’s because his parents died in a car crash. Johnny’s parents don’t even care where he is half the time and his father abuses him. Not only do Greases have to deal with poverty and destroyed families but they are constantly jumped by Socs. As you can see, everyone has rough times but I think that the Greasers have an especially rough life and I consider myself lucky to have the life I have
I belive That greasers have it pretty tough. From what weve learner the greasers have to deal with their rival peers the "Soc's". For example, the socails cuse probloms for the greasers by jumping them. When Jonney was jumped by the soc's, he was practicly petrified after the tramatic experience. Also the greasers have a hard home life. For example many of the greasers like Two Bit have parents who could care less about him.Also Ponyboy has been having probloms with Darry at home wich led him to running away after it got to the point were Farry struck him, and nobody ever struck him befor. As you can see the challenging life of a greaser is very stressfull life.

I agree that greasers gave it tough. Most greasers have bad home lives. Johnny's mom doesn't pay attention to him, and his dad beats him. Also, most of the time the greasers' parents don't care where they are or what they are doing. Also their lives are complicated because they don't have much money. They can't buy proper clothes, like Poneyboy. Often their parents, or guardian, have to work many hours to make sure bills are paid and they have something to eat each night. In conclusion, greasers lives are very challenging.
I agree that the greasers have it tough. To start off they fend for them selves. Two-bit has to steal from shops so he can eat. Darry has to work two jobs so they can make enough to eat. Also, they have a bad homelife. Ponyboy, Darry and Sodapop have no parents because they died in a car crash. When Johnny is home he is being beatin or ignored. As you can see the greasers have it bad.

Yes i do believe that the greasers have it tough for many reasons. To Begin they have a bad homelife. The Curtis brothers have no parents since there parents were killed in a car chrash. Also Johnny is beaten by his dad and ignored by his mom. Next, the greaser have to fend for themselves. For example Two-bit has to steal for the things he needs to survie. another reason is that Soda Pop droped out of school so he could work to support his family. his brother Darry works like he is a old man working very long hours. Those arte the reasons why the Greasers have it tough.
I believe the greasers havit tough. First they have bad families. Johnnys mother and father were abusing him so much.
Twobits mom works a lot
second of all they have no money. The greaser have poor education and cant work. They get disrespected society and how they look. In conclusion as you can see the greasers have it diffitcult in life.
I agree that the Greasers have it tougher for many reasons. First, is they have to fend for themselves. For example, Two-Bit has to depend on stealing to get what he wants. All the greasers dress poorly because they have really no money. Soda and Darry also work to support their family. Another reason is society mistreats them. They look down upon them. In newspapers they're talked poorly about. Society will never except them. Also, they usually have a bad home life. The Curtis brothers have no parents. Little Johnny has been beaten and ignored. Lastly, is they really don't have any money. They depend on stealing and begging. For example, Two-Bit's mom has to pay for her and Two-Bit and has to be able to pay the bills when they're flat broke.In conclusion, those are all the reasons how the Greasers have it tougher than the Socs.

i think the greasers have it tough for many reasons. one is that most to all have bad familys. johnny has a mother and father, but they beat him neglect him and yell at him constantly. another poor family is ponys, he has two brothers soda and darry, but there parents died in a car crash. another reason is they are unliked by most people. the greasers are like an outcast, when people see them they see bad horrible kids unlike the socs. the socs are liked by everyone. as you can see the greasers have it tough for many reasons.
Rebecca S per. 5
Yes, i think that the Greasers have it tough because they have bad home lives. Thye have to worry about being jumped and being beaten up by the Socs. Johnny was beaten up really bad by the Socs and has a scar on his face from the incident. Some of the Greasers don't have anyone to watch out for them and some don't have any parents to look out for them. So, as you can see, the Greasers have a hard life.

Out of the greasers and socs i think the greasers have it tougher.One reson is that they have to fend for themselevs.They all have to steal and learn how to fight because they dont have enough money or the have any parents like the curts family. Plus the socs like to jump the greaser just they have nothing else to do.Also socitey just hates them for how they are.If a soc got in a fight with a greaser the athorty would rather protect the soc because they are dressed better than the greasers and have more money.As you can see, that is why i think that greaser have a tougher life.
Omry B. Prd 5 I think the Greasers have it harder because People criticize them all the time like they don't have good jobs and they don't go to school. People think that the Socs are better then them because they have more money and good chlothes and cars and have a good education. The resone I think they have it hard is they did not grow up with a good family to help them out in hard times in thir life. Like how ponyboy parents died in a car crash but he still went to church on sunday because he always went with his family and Two Bits mom is always working so she is never home. Those are my resones that I think That the Greasers have it harder then the Socs.

I agree that greasers have a particulary hard life compared to the Socs. First, greasers have a bad homelife. Both Johnny and Ponyboy got hit by their family. Two-Bit only has a mom that doesn't really care for him. Second, they have to deal with the Socs. Greasers are always jumped by Socs. Sometimes the fights end badly, like when Johnny stabbed and killed Bob. In conclusion, greasers have their lives always being difficult.

I think that the greasers had it tough because they always got puked around by the socs. They also had to grow up very fast! Its not like now where, you might get every thing handed to you like the socs did.Any ways they had it rough. Look at their lives, Johnny gets beat up by his parents, and Phony has no parents except for Dally and Sodapop. Any ways the greasers have it really tough!!!

I agree that the greasers have it tougher than the socs. First, they have to fend for themselves. For example Two-Bit has to steal in order to meet his needs. Darry and Soda have to work two jobs just to support their family. Also, they had a bad home life. Ponyboy or the Curtis brothers have no parent and have to do everything by themsleves. Johnny was beaten by his dad and was completely ignored by his mother. All in all you can see that the greasers had a horrible exscruciating life.

Stephanie Falsone Per 8 I personally think that the greasers had it rough. It Is not easy to live poor lives but it is also hard to live rich lives. Some of the greasers are very poor,homeless, or don't have parents like Darry,Ponyboy, and Sodapop. The greasers have bad reputations like Darry how he went to jail. The greasers did have it rough especially with the police and the Socs or the socials. The Socs are rich and get everything so the greasers think the have it easy.Johnny was jumped and badly beaten by a Soc. So I do they that the greasers had it rough.

The greasers do have it tough because most of them are poor and nawt nearly as educated as the Socs. The greasers aren't as scoial as the Socs. They don't throw parties or anything. They have different ways of looking at life.
