How are SOCS and greasers alike?
The Socs and the Greasers were alike because they are both gangs. They are different because the Socs are rich and the Greasers are poor. They were also different because the Socs are from the West side and the Greasers are from the East side.
What separates the SOCS from the greasers?
Ponyboy has always thought that it is "money" that separates the Socs from the Greasers, but Cherry points out the different value set of the Greasers: "[Y]ou're more emotional," she says.
What does Cherry tell ponyboy that greasers and SOCS have in common?
Cherry tells Ponyboy two specific things in defense of the Socs, and they are related to each other. One thing that she tells Ponyboy is that the Greasers are not unique in having problems and rough lives. Cherry tells Ponyboy that the Socs don't necessarily have easy lives, either—they have problems too.
What two things make Darry similar to some SOCS?
Darry could have been a soc because he met all the physical and mental requirements to be one. He was intelligent, athletic, and attractive. However, his obligations to his family and the gang held him back from capitalizing on those qualities.
