The Outsiders Big Family

What’s the most important thing you have? For most people it would be their family.

          In the story the outsiders the Greasers treat each other as family. The soc's also do that, but I’m going to focus on the Greasers. The greasers are a big gang of un wealthy teenagers that always grease their hair back. That’s where they get the name greasers from. The Socs are the rich people and jocks. Each of those to groups are basically huge families.

          The greasers are really close to each other and even though there not family they treat each other like family. They watch each other’s backs and make sure no one gets hurt. Dally one of the characters in the book “The Outsiders” is the toughest one in the gang. He makes sure no one gets in trouble because he doesn’t want them to end up like him.

          The reason that the greasers aren’t wealthy and smart is because there family was there for them and they probably couldn’t get a good education. A lot of them left their homes or their parents left them at early age. Imagine the impact that leave on the kid, he wouldn’t have as much knowledge as the soc’s because he wouldn’t be able to go to school.

Imagine leaving your family and having nowhere to go, these kids met each other and helped each other get through things. When you read The Outsiders you’ll notice that they protect each other all the time. Family helps with a lot of things and makes you feel safer. If you had a big family like the characters from the outsiders you would feel a lot safer and cared about.

Family is defiantly the most important thing to a lot of people.
