Because the first gang we see in the movie is a white gang that hate the puerto ricans and start to vandalize a painting because they want them to leave their "territory" and the puerto ricans see this and want to fight them
Because they are rival gangs and one is rich gang and one is a poor gang and they fight over random stuff... JUST BECAUSE IF THEY DID LIKE EACH OTHER THEIR WOULD BE NO STORY!
Like Gangs and what Michael would do in that situation. Like West Side Story :)
It is a story where two people like each other
He doesn't like being in gangs because he thinks that they cause trouble.
Girl gangs were mostly out of family problems and guy gangs were from other problems like, lack or full of money, outside appearence, or from different level of crimes.
gang stands for G - growing A - a N - Nasty G - Garden Gangs grow plants that look like the real deal but are actually a fake version of the plant and green you think you are buying and so rip you off. Gangs are bad. Do not join one.
It needed to seem like modern gang fights, and modern gangs have turf wars, where they fight over what part of the cities that are theirs. They consider that area theirs and fight to keep it from intruding gangs or to make their turf larger.
the gangs were violent and had may difference's.
Teenage gangs in the 1950 and beatniks

There are several differences. Most importantly, "regular gangs" usually contain a hierarchy-- an obvious leader, and those those follow that leader and specific rules within the hierarchy Those types of gangs usually focus on violence or drugs for the main reason of being a gang-- more power in numbers. If they were to get into a fight, their gang members would back them up; but more often than not, those people aren't really friends with each other. They are just in the gang for the purpose of safety in numbers, or for the sake of violence or drugs. Also, in a regular gang, everyone is replacable-- if a member dies, someone takes their place to do their job. "Greaser gangs" are more like families. They are groups of friends and siblings who hang out together. They also have a 'safety in numbers' complex, though they depend on each other more than that. Most of the "Greaser gangs", as described in S. E. Hinton's "The Outsiders", are usually poorer and come from broken homes, so they depend on each other for food, shelter and comfort, as well as protection from Socs and rival gangs. Some of the "Greaser gangs" focus more on violence, like Tim Shepard's gang, but the gang most often referred to in "The Outsiders", or "The Curtis Gang", is mostly focussed on self-preservation. They all honestly care about each other, as was described in the book, and that is the biggest difference between "Greaser gangs" and "regular gangs". They care about what happens to them, and no one is replacable, like in a regular gang.
