in the book it says that Hoods are worse than Greasers, Hoods Steal things and kill people, Greasers don't kill people they like fights but don't kill on purpose. But there both marked Lousy.

The most like stereotypical hood in The Outsiders is Dally.
"Hood" was short for "hoodlum", i.e. a criminal.
when one was her greaser friends was beaten when she was fifteen. I had a copy with a Questions & Answers in the back of it, and Hinton said she had hung out with a group of greasers a lot. They were her close friends, and one day while they were walking, one got jumped. Angry, she went home and did the first chapter of the book (from the experience she had just had), and she was probably inspired to finish it some more, because of the lack of 'realistic' teen books at the time.
An example of verbal irony from the book "The Outsiders" occurs when Ponyboy says, "I'm a greaser. I'm a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city." This is ironic because Ponyboy is actually a kind and thoughtful person who doesn't fit the stereotype of a troublemaker.
dig, weed, fuzz, greasers, socs, and hood
In Chapter 4, Bob defines a greaser as a no-good hood, someone who is from the wrong side of the tracks and is always causing trouble. He views greasers as lower-class individuals who are beneath him and his social circle.
The book is based somewhere in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where S.E. Hinton grew up.
Oh, dude, hyperboles in "The Outsiders"? That's like asking me to find a needle in a haystack. But hey, I got you! One example is on page 3 when Ponyboy says, "I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood." It's totally exaggerated, but hey, that's what makes it a hyperbole, right?
this website is terrible
In "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, a metaphor is used when Ponyboy describes the sunset as "gold." This metaphor can be found on page 96 in the novel. The metaphor compares the beauty and brilliance of the sunset to the precious metal gold, enhancing the reader's understanding and appreciation of the scene.
Oh, dude, in "The Outsiders," when Soda chanted "I am a JD and a hood," he meant he was a juvenile delinquent. Like, he's just a cool rebel with a cause, you know? So, yeah, JD stands for juvenile delinquent in that context. Cool, huh?
