Ponyboy vs. Randy

Authors Note: This piece was produced to show the point of views of the greasers and the soc's.

In the story the Outsiders Ponyboy, a “greaser” tells the hard life style of these outcasts. Ponyboy talks about how the “soc’s” are “white trash with mustangs and Madre’s”. Since Ponyboy, a greaser tells the story greasers are good and soc’s are white trash. Ponyboy and Johnny got attacked by Bob and his soc friends. Johnny killed Bob in self-defense; well that’s at least what Ponyboy and Johnny said.

If randy, a soc would’ve narrated the story the whole thing would’ve been different. Randy and the soc’s would’ve been the good kids and greasers would be white trash with too much hair oil. When the soc’s attacked Johnny and Pony Randy probably would’ve said that Johnny and Pony attacked them and attempting to drown Pony was an act of self-defense. While Johnny killing Bob would’ve been out of an act of jealousy.
