Appearances Don't Tell a Person's Story

         The theme of The Outsiders, a required summer reading book, is: People may appear to be complete opposites on the outside, but on the inside they are exactly alike. The Greasers and the Socs are completely different people looks wise. The Greasers have greased back hair and are very poor, but the Socs are rich, drive cars and get everything they want. They appear so different on the outside, like the animals in this picture  but on the inside they both are the same. They feel hate because they want more than they have, and they feel loss for the loved ones who have been killed. The animals in this picture look completely different on the outside as well, but on the inside they just want one thing; to survive.
