How does Ponyboy's perspective on Socs start to change after his conversation with Randy?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, like, Ponyboy's perspective on Socs totally shifts after chatting with Randy. He starts to see them as more than just rich, snobby jerks and realizes they have their own struggles and insecurities. It's like, who knew Socs could be human too, right?

Answer 2

Well, honey, after Ponyboy has a heart-to-heart with Randy, he starts to see that not all Socs are heartless jerks. He realizes that they have their own struggles and insecurities, just like the Greasers do. It's like a lightbulb goes off in his head, making him question the "us vs. them" mentality he's been clinging to.

Answer 3

Ponyboy's perspective on Socs starts to change after his conversation with Randy due to the realization that Socs face their own struggles and insecurities. Randy's vulnerability and honesty about the limitations of wealth and privilege challenge Ponyboy's preconceived notions about the Socs as uniformly privileged and callous. This conversation prompts Ponyboy to consider the complexities and humanity of individuals on both sides of the social divide, leading to a more nuanced understanding of the world around him.

Answer 4

Ponyboy's opinion changes about the Socs throughout the story. It starts out with him thinking in the beginning that all Socs were cruel rich kids who liked to pick on greasers for the fun of it, partly from experience, partly because that was what was expected of him. After the fire and the rescue, Ponyboy's talk with Randy really opened up what Socs were truly like. Through talking with Randy, Ponyboy discovered that the Socs were really not bad guys, and they're just people. Everybody is their own person, and should not necessarily be classified as the same just by their group or social standing. The main difference is just the money and the title "Soc" that separates Socs and greasers; it always just had been that way and that is how it apparently will be forever... thanks.

the book is AMAZING!!!! :)

Answer 5

Ponyboy acts completely calm, if not annoyed, when yet another 3 socs attempt to jump him at the end of the book. He grabs a soda bottle and cracks off the bottom and holds it out like a switchblade, and threatens them, telling them that he's had enough and they're gonna get "split" if they don't hop back in their car and leave. The socs then realized that Pony meant buisness, so they slowly went back to the car and drove away, just as Pony instructed.

Answer 6

He's attitude changes because he had a talk with Randy and now he knows that not all the socs "jump' people and that deep inside they are really nice Socs.

I hope this will help you at my assignment i got an "A"! :)

Answer 9
