Stereotypes in The Outsiders

Author's Note

There are stereo types everywhere in the world and their are definetly some in The Outsiders. This essay shows how people use stereo types against them and they don't really getto know them. 

There are so many different types of stereo types of the Greasers and The Socs. Neither of them tries to get to know each other all they do is fight. Underneath that rich Soc or Greasy Greaser, there are feelings.

The Greasers see the Socials as, rich, snobby, straight A students, or who jump greasers for fun. But if the two groups made friends they might find that there is something else going on with the Socials that is making them do all this stuff.

The Socials see the Greasers as long hair, greasy, dirty, drop outs that don’t care if they go to jail or get in trouble with the cops. But as you start to notice is that all of the Greasers really do have feelings and love people. Like Darry's love for Johnny which is really shown when Darry's gives himself up to the cops after Johnny dies.

Stereo types happen even in today's society. For example, if you have a Step mom, people think automatically that she is the evil step-mother. That is an example from Cinderella. For another example, people that don't live in Wisconsin think that everyone that lives in Wisconsin are hill Billy's.
