In the book, The Outsiders, the Greasers and Socs (Socials) are the two main groups in the town!.
The Greasers are on the east side of the railroad tracks, they're the poorer kids and are called Greasers because they grease their hair (put grease in their hair, it was popular during that time)!. They are more aggressive and tough!.
The Socs are the rich kids from the west side of the railroad tracks!. They all have nice cars and are called Socs because of their high social status!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
