Why are greasers discriminated by socs? (Grp 1) 

# data[].attributes.body
Pt 1 : The greasers dress sloppily as they could not afford nice expensive clothes and they keep their hair long, looking unkempt. They also could not afford haircuts. Hence, they are looked down upon by the socs. (WHY?) Untidy,
" We wear our hair long and dress in blue jeans and T-shirts”

Pt 2 : The greasers does not perform well in school and many are school dropouts, they hang around places everyday and have no ambitions in life so they appear to be dangerous hooligans to other people.

" Greasers are like hoods; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations...”

Quote (Pg2-3) : “Greasers are almost like hoods; we steal things and drive old-souped up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while.”

^ shows that the Greasers were thieves, criminals, hooligans, gangsters

^ bad neighbourhood, crime-filled neighbourhood.

^ bad influence, ill-bred, rebellious, fearless

Quote (Pg6) : “Darry is six-feet-two, and broad-shouldered and muscular.

^ shows that to be respected on the street, Greasers needed to look tough

^ need to be strong to survive in that kind of messy neighbourhood

‘Dally yawned, flipping away his cigarette bud’
This gives the impression that most Greasers smoke. Smoking is harmful in many ways, for example - it harms one’s health and it is addictive.Yet, no Greaser stop one another from smoking as its normal for them to do so, despite them being underage and illegal for them.Hence, Greasers are deemed as a bad influence gangsters, Street thugs, rebels.

‘I was in jail’

This shows that a Greaser being Dally committed a crime and did something illegal which caused him to land in jail.This gives a bad impression on the Greasers as one may think that a Greaser is a dangerous and unlawful criminal, However not all Greasers are like that.

Pg 10

Quote :"He was about six feet tall, stocky in build,"

Shows that the Greasers needed to be tough to defend themselves or to attack back in case the Socs jumped them.

Quote: "He was famous for shoplifting and his black-handled switchblade (which he couldn't have acquired without his first talent),  and he was always smarting off to the cops."

Tells us that the Greasers already have a reputation of shoplifting / theft and they carry weapons around which makes them more of a threat, making people (the Socs) dislike the greasers further.

"He liked fights"

Also shows that it is easier for some of them to get into more trouble as they enjoyed fights which many people do not. The majority of the people that do not like fights, judge the minority and therefore discriminate them.
Pg 11

Quote: "Only Socs. And you can't win against them no matter how hard you try,"

This explains that the Greasers live in the fear of getting jumped by the Socs everywhere they go. The Greasers would be hopelessly outmatched if they ever tried to fight all the Socs. The Greasers would only have to rely on their strength, friendship and brotherhood to defend themselves against the Socs.

Quote:"they'd like to spit on us if given a chance"
This tells us that the socials belittle the greasers, thinks that they do not deserve to be treated pleasantly .They have no respect for them even though they are humans too , this also tells us that the socials dislike and is annoyed by the greasers' presence .

pg16
Quote :"I get put into A classes because I am supposed to be smart and most of them thought it was pretty funny "
This shows socials have the concept that greasers are empty-headed , it is not a norm for them to ace their subjects and get high grades  .This also tells us that greasers are doing unwell for their exams , many of them could have failed or are school dropouts .Hence the would like to associate with them lesser as they are unintelligent , causing them to be belittled  and discriminated.

pg17
Quote :"he (Darry)  didn't have time between jobs to even think about college"
This tells us that the greasers are too focused on getting by , paying bills .Letting themselves to not achieve higher accomplishment of education which will result to not landing on high paying jobs .Then , they will not earn large amount of money and are just purely getting by . They will be unable to be successful.This is also another factor that will cause the greasers to be discriminated .

The greasers are being discriminated due to their status in money.
Quote: "the jet set,the west side rich kids." Was use to describe the Socs while Quote:" We're poorer than the socs and middle clas" was refering to the greasers. It could be the difference In their Financial Status that led the greasers to being discriminated.

Sodapop, one of the greasers, dropped out of school and often got tickets for speeding, giving people the idea that greasers got into trouble often and had poor education.
Dallas Winston, littered his cigarette butt after saying “Speaking of movies” and yawning, which makes us think that they are very gangster like and don’t bother about biding by the rules.

Quote (pg7):''By then i had figured that all the noise i had heard was the gang coming to rescue me.''

*this shows that the greasers are bullied and beaten up really often but because they are very close knitted they managed to protect each other from the socs.

*this also shows that the greaser treats everyone equally and care for each other and will do whatever it takes to protect anyone of them from trouble.
