...Outsiders Essay The Outsiders is a novel by S.E Hinton that is set in the 1960’s in a city close to New York. It is about the conflict between the rich people, the upper-class, the west-side kids, called the Socs and the lower class, poorer people, called the Greasers. The conflict between the two social groups occurs because the Socs are too real and too demanding for things. The Greasers are being jumped by the Socs and that creates conflict and hatred between the two groups who aren’t really that different, but Socs see Greasers differently and Greasers see Socs differently too. Pg42 “Things are rough all over.” Things are rough all over for the Socs, as the Greasers see that they seem to not have a worry in the world, they have food, clothes, a home and people to love them. But they have problems that the Greasers haven’t even heard of. There is never real conflict, because when the guys are not there, conflict doesn’t exist. Bob is always doing what he wants and nothing is there to stop him, so that makes the Greasers hate him more and more conflict is created. The jealousy that the Greasers have toward the Socs also results to conflict, because the Socs have money, and the Greasers don’t. The Socs make the track team, Greasers don’t. The Socs go to college and Greasers drop out of school. There are many things that result to conflict between the Socs and the Greasers. Conflict between the Greasers ad Socs happen because of...

...Sasha Nowak 4/13/12 Sociology The Established & the Outsiders Essay Social structure can be represented in many ways and through many ideas, such as in a community or city. When two of them are compared to one another, there’s bound to be many similarities and differences between them. For instance, the area in and around Norwich University can be easily compared to the setting of the novel, The Established & the Outsiders. The novel is set at a place called Winston-Parva, a suburban area in the outskirts of a large and wealthy industrial town in central England. It had a population of less than 5000, but had its own industries, schools, churches, shops and clubs. The two authors, Elias & Scotson, conducted their study though the book and formed a social structure by categorizing the town into 3 different zones, 1, 2, and 3. Zone 1 was usually called a middle-class residential area, and most of its inhabitants regarded it as such. Zones 2 and 3 were working-class areas one of which, Zone 2, is where most of the industries were established. From this info alone one could assume that since Zone 2 and Zone 3 seem the same, the inhabitants of those zones think that as well. However, the novel states a survey that proves the previous assumption to be false: “A preliminary survey suggested that not only the middle-class inhabitants of Zone 1, but the working-class inhabitants of Zone 2 regarded themselves and their neighbourhood as superior in social status to those...

The society described in the novel, much like our own, has varies overwhelming influences from the media and the society towards the general public. This statement may seem paradoxical, but it is one of the vital factors in the protagonist, Meursault’s, development and realization of Camus’s philosophy, existentialism. Furthermore, it is this influence from others that separates Meursault from others and truly defines him as an outsider to society. The novel begins with an interesting event where the antagonist, Meursault’s mother dies. Then as the story goes on Meursalt continues on a romantic appointment with a women the very next day.
