Why was it so important when the greasers met the two socs girls at the movies in the outsiders?

Answer 1

Greaser Hair: The greasers cannot afford rings, cars, or other materialistic symbols of power that the Socs have. Therefore, their hair is their symbol of identity. By wearing their hair long, greasers differentiate themselves from other social groups. It is not only distinctive, but, is truly a vital part of the greaser persona. When the Socs jump Ponyboy at the beginning of the book, they ask him if he wants a haircut and threaten to cut off his hair robbing him of his identity. Later in the story, Ponyboy and Johnny cut off their hair and dye it. This act symbolizes them stepping outside of their "comfort zone" and leaving behind the security of conformity within their group to grow as individuals.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I think that the socs boys didn't want to be looked at like they were all goody goodies and they became greasers. And the boys that were greasers wanted to look better so they became socs.
