In S.E. Hinton's "The Outsiders," the Socs (short for Socials) often express a sense of privilege and detachment from the struggles of the Greasers. One notable quote is when Cherry Valance says, "Things are rough all over, but it was better that way." This highlights the Socs' awareness of their own problems despite their wealth. Another poignant moment is when Bob Sheldon remarks, "You get tough like me and you don’t get hurt," reflecting the emotional armor that many Socs wear to cope with their lives. These quotes reveal the complexities of their characters, showing that wealth does not shield them from pain.
