I WILL GIVE YOU 20 POINTS AND ANY FAKE ANSWERS I WILL REPORT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

In Chapter 8 Ponyboy calls Cherry a traitor, but he quickly forgives her. He asks her if she can see the sunset on the West Side, and when she says she can, he tells her to remember that he can see it on the East Side too.

Explain the significance of this scene as it relates to the Greasers and the Socs. What was Ponyboy trying to get Cherry to understand?

Answer:

Ponyboy was trying to get cherry to understand that they were all the same, west or east side, because they all saw the same sunset. This relates to the Greasers and the Socs because they are all the same, but they are creating a divide among themselves.
