Cherry means that being a Soc is a lot harder with a lot more responsibilities than Greasers in some ways. Being a Soc is just as hard at times as being a Greaser is, just in different ways.

Because Socs are rich, people think that they have life easy, but they have troubles that other people don't have. Greasers have the same kind of thing, but instead of being rich, greasers are labeled as hoods.

People think that Socs have a paradise life with their expensive clothes and nice cars but Cherry is saying that the Socs have problems that the Greasers don't have. Both the Socs and the Greasers have problems but they're problems are both very different.

In chapter 5, the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" translates to how nothing can ever be favorable or nice forever. The first line of Robert Frost's poem is trying relay message to the reader that everything starts out golden, meaning that everything starts on a high note. The second line of the poem means that holding on to something that is that important and such a luxury is difficult. The last few lines describe how the luxury will eventually dry up, ultimately translating to the theme that nothing can stay golden for long. This poem connects to Ponyboy and Johnny's situation since they started off with the Greaser's and a life that they enjoyed to some extent to now running away from society. Ponyboy and Johnny are now constantly hiding and have dug themselves into a hole because of Johnny's actions of killing a Soc. Their life was golden compared to what their life is now, which connects to the poem's main idea of how something golden will at some point, dry up.

"Nothing gold can stay" means that if you want something, it doesn't mean that you're going to get it and if you have something, it doesn't mean it's never going to go away. This relates to Johnny and Ponyboy because they said that they wanted to be at home with the other greasers but they knew that they couldn't because of what happened the other night.

Now people think that Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally were sent from heaven to save those kids and each other. They are now heroes unlike before.

Evan though Jhonny and Ponyboy are greasers, they prove that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

When Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally went after the kids who were said to be trapped in the burning church, they would not let a single person stop them from going. This opposes the stereotype that society places upon Greaser's because Greaser's are supposedly heartless and do not care for others. Not only does it oppose the stereotype, it also proves that Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally are not heartless and that they do care for the benefits of others. The fact that they risked their lives for the benefit of others, opposes the stereotype that the society normally applies on Greasers. Another example of the Greaser's fighting against the stereotype is when Mr. O'Briant told Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally that they were "professional heroes" and "sent straight from heaven."

# data[].attributes.body
People now think that Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally were meant to be at the church at that exact moment because they were sent from heaven and they are there to help. Even though they are Greasers, they still have their good qualities that people also look at.

Greasers are more gentle and society views them as tuff and tough, but they are really kind and gentle spirited. Socs are mean and unkind, but society views them as kind and smart.

Greasers and Socs seem to be very different in terms of appearance and ways that society thinks of them. For example, Greasers are thought to be troublemakers, violent, and heartless by society. On the other hand, Socs are considered highly by society for being "perfect" and more privileged. While the two groups have many differences, they are also similar in several ways. Socs and Greasers are both groups of people who have a reputation to uphold of being tough/tuff. When Randy talked to Ponyboy and mentioned, "I'm marked chicken if I punk out at the rumble, and I'd hate myself if I didn't. I don't know what to do." It demonstrates how both sides are in a way pressured into having this tough persona that can handle anything. The Greasers show this on page 102 and 103 when Ponyboy says that Greasers do not cry in front of stranger and even if they were scared, they would not show it, which relates to how they have to put up a tough act in order to maintain a reputation.

I noticed that the socs are more brutal than the greasers. The greasers only like to fight to let off steam. Greasers usually only fight in self defense while the socs like to fight and pick fights with other people.

# data[].attributes.body
The greasers don't hurt people for fun, they hurt people for self defense. Socs love punching and harming the greasers for fun. Greasers are more of a friendly group. The Socs are more of a gang and they aren't really there for each other. Greasers are more gentle and caring for each other. Socs don't care about anyone else except for themselves. They also look different. Greasers have more of a less fortunate style as in wardrobe and hair styles. The Socs are more together in their wardrobe and their hair is nice and clean. Socs are more cocky and Greasers are independent.

Ponyboy now hates Socs even more because he is fed up with people he knows dyeing. He begins to accept that Socs have no feeling and Greasers do.

The meaning of the last paragraph means that Pony wrote this book and he was starting to in the last chapter of the book.

# data[].attributes.body
The meaning of the last paragraph was that Ponyboy had written this book. He wanted to show that there was more to the stereotype of Greasers being tough/tuff, violent, and scary. When Johnny and Dally died, Ponyboy said that parts of society still saw them as Greasers, but not heroes. He wanted to give society another perspective, one that is from a Greaser's to demonstrate that not all of them are what they are stereotyped to be. Ultimately, Ponyboy wanted to tell the story of two gallant and heroic individuals who had been taken away from him  through the message that not everything can be judged based off of an appearance or stereotype.

Ponyboy's view on the Soc's changes dramatically at the end. He realizes that the Soc's are just like the Greasers in some ways and different in others. He realizes that Greases and Soc's are just different types of people.

I think that the last paragraph is perfectly written. The writer did a perfect job wrapping the beginning of the book to the end of the book. I think that the last paragraph is trying to tell us that the book is the composition that he wrote for his English class. The real deep meaning is that at some point, things will get better.

# data[].attributes.body
Ponyboy's view of the Socs change drastically because he realized that the Greasers and the Socs aren't actually that different. He realized that the Socs just don't know how it is like to be poor and how it is like to live like a Greaser.

# data[].attributes.body
Ponyboy's views on the Socs change throughout the book from fear/hatred to more understanding. He begins to also stay true to his identity when he begins to embrace being a Greaser. Ponyboy mentioned before that sometimes he felt embarrassed that he lived in a lousy neighborhood and that his house is not great, which relates to him being a Greaser. Although, at one point, Ponyboy confesses that he learned to not care and simply stay true to his unique identity of being a Greaser. Ponyboy also learns to accept both differences and similarities of both the Socs and Greasers. There are many differences between the Socs amd Greasers such as the difference of positions on the social scale and relationships between the groups. For example, the Socs are more of a gang than the Greasers who act as if they are family. Despite these differences, the two groups still have similarities. Ponyboy begins to accept that although the two groups seem to be completely different, they still have similarities such as having things rough all over and having the pressure to act tough/tuff.

In chapter two, when Cherry said, "Things are rough all over", she means that Socs have problems as well, but it appears as if they do not. Socs are depicted as privileged people in the book compared to the Greasers/gangs, but in reality, they have many problems that they hide behind   all their privileges. This connects to the Socs and Greasers' identity since it opposes the stereotype of Socs having no problems and living in the ideal world and agrees with the stereotype that Greasers' have many problems.
