Relivence of today

This is relivent is society still today. this tackles many of societs problems can start from judging people. It shows that there really is many conections between the socs and greesers that are disregarded and instead a violence is replaced with what could be friendships. Also cause of the devision in class it translated into different styles of cloths cars and almost every other type of posession. Because of there differences simply talking to someones girlfriend could result in a beating.

This also brings to light that just cause people are a lower class they cant control that and it could be something like an alcoholic parents that are holding them back. But just because they are poor doesn’t make them bad people. If anything it makes them stronger a champion to overcome their challenges. Then to prove it even more wrong Johnny ran in a burning building and in the end sacrificed his life for the little kid and Poneyboys.
