What Will Happen to the Greasers?

Authors Note: I am writing a predicting writing piece about The Outsiders.

In the book, The Outsiders, Greasers are people that want to be involved in a fight. Greasers are a type of gang who stick together and are loyal to one another. In later chapters, I predict that the Greasers will have many more gang fights with the Socs because they don’t respect each other. Being a Soc means that you are wealthy, you go to school and get good grades. No one can really pick what group they are in, they are born into it. Ponyboy, Darry, Johnny, Dally and Soda are all Greasers and are poor. Some of the Greasers don’t have families,so they consider other Greasers their family.

Knowing that the Greasers are one big family, if someone gets hurt all of the others are there for each other. Fighting is like second nature to them, because it happens all of the time. For example, Johnny always keeps a pocket knife in his pocket wherever he goes as a form of protection. Most Greasers never walk alone, otherwise they might get jumped by a Soc.

Ponyboy told Cherry, a Soc, what happened to Johnny when Socs attacked and severely hurt his friend. He felt that Cherry was a Soc that could maybe help the Greasers. Later in the story, Johnny described the Socs that beat him up describing one as big with rings on his fingers. Johnny also said that there were lots of Socs in a mustang car. I am predicting that one of the Greasers will get badly hurt or die, because of what happened to Johnny.

In conclusion, I predict that someone from the Greasers will get seriously hurt or injured due to flash backs in the book. Being in a gang can be very dangerous and it seems like something really bad has to happen in order for people to change and try to get along better.
