Question

On the book "The Outsiders" in chapter 3, why does Ponyboy change his mind about the Socs?

Answer 1

It was because of his chat with Cherry.

Step-by-step explanation:

She helped him see that Socs and Greasers weren't all that different and Socs didn't always have it super easy like they thought. Also Cherry didn't act like the other girls he'd seen with the Socs

Answer 2

I believe it was because of his chat with Cherry who humanized the soc's and made him realize that they aren't all bad people.
