The church symbolizes a safe place. Ponyboy and Johnny hide here. They let down their guard enough to share their feelings and reflect on their lives.

Cigarettes symbolize the Greasers' lifestyle. They can't afford much, but they can afford cigarettes. Greasers usually started smoking at an early age. Smoking made them feel older and helped them to fit in to the group. It became a habit and was used as a way of staying calm.

Greasers wear their hair really long. They can't afford very much, but they can afford to have long hair. People recognize greasers by their hair. It's a symbol of the Greasers.

Switchblade

The Greasers felt safer when they carried the switchblade . It is also for defence and to help people .
