because it is pony boy she is likely going to fall in love with
Ponyboy thought the Socs were all the same - snobby, rich undisciplined kids in some gang. After he met Cherry aka Sherri, she said: Not all of us are like that, you have to know that.... or something like that.
1) Johnny gets jumped by Socs members when he was looking for a football outside 2) Ponyboy and Johnny meet Cherry at a drugstore. Ponyboy starts to realize that he and the Socs might have some things in common after all.
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!!!! :)

the answer is that greasers have a different set of values, their more emotional. socs are more sophisticated, cool- to the point of not feeling anything.

Ponyboy believes that other Greasers will end up like Dally because of how they look at life, and how they take it: violent and desperate. Ponyboy also believes this because of Johnny’s death and Dally’s death, they might start hating themselves and blaming themselves for their deaths.
your face. and you suck because i know you want to cheat on your homework
Bob, Randy, and a couple other Socs were drunk that night. Johnny and Ponyboy were at the park and they saw the blue Mustang drive up the gravel road. Johnny got scared so he pulled out his switch blade. They made short conversation, then Ponyboy spit on Bob and the Socs ran after Johnny and Pony. One Soc kicked and punched Pony a couple of times and then joined in dunking Ponyboy's head in the fountain. Johnny acted in self-defense to save his friend, so he stabbed Bob with his switch blade. Randy and all of the other Socs ran off. Ponyboy and Johnny sat there trying to come up with a plan.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is a realistic fiction book about a boy named Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy's parents are dead and he lives with his two brothers: Sodapop and Darry. The brothers live in a poor part of Tulsa Oklahoma and hang around with a crowd that to most people would be more than a little questionable. The people they hand out with are refered to as the greasers, from their hair. The greasers are at 'war' with the socs, or socials: the rich kids. The socs jump the greasers all the time. However, one time when the socs jump Ponyboy and one of his buddies, Johnny, kills a soc. This epic adventure changes Ponyboy's life forever.
Bob, the handsome leader of the Socs, is lying dead on the ground. Johnny explains that he stabbed Bob in self-defense; the Socs were drowning Ponyboy and preparing to beat Johnny up like they did before. When Bob went down, all the other Socs ran.
before the rumble takes place, Pony asks everyone why they like to fight. After he receives an answer from each of the boys he thinks about his answer. In the end he says that he fights for self defense.
