The given quote is an example of the "Contrast and Contradiction" signpost.

This signpost refers to moments in the text where a character says or does something that is unexpected or contrasts with their previous behavior or beliefs.

In this case, the narrator suddenly realizes that he and his friends do not belong with the group of people they are currently with, as they are "greasers, but not hoods."

This realization contrasts with the narrator's previous acceptance of being a greaser and his loyalty to his friends. Therefore, the answer is: Contrast and Contradiction

Complete question:

“He shouldn’t be here, I thought suddenly. I shouldn’t be here and Steve shouldn’t be here and Soda shouldn’t be here and Two-Bit shouldn’t be here. We’re greasers, but not hoods, and we don’t belong with this bunch of future convicts.”

The quote above is an example of which two signposts?

Aha! Moment

Contrast and Contradiction

Memory Moment

Words to the Wiser

Tough Questions
