Part of it is, but not all. You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated--- cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us. You know, sometimes I'll catch myself talking to a girl-friend, and realize I don't mean half of what I'm saying. I don't really think a beer blast on the river bottom is super-cool, but I'll rave about one to a girl-friend just to be saying something. I never told anyone that. I think you're the first person I've ever really gotten through to."

Answer:

Balancing Perspectives

In S.E. Hinton's novel, The Outsiders, most of the major characters are Greaser boys. To balance out the perspective of the Socs versus the Greasers, Hinton introduced a strong female Soc, Cherry Valance. Cherry is caught up in the game, but at least realizes it is a game. Pony and Cherry know that you can see the sunset from both sides of town.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sherri Valance, or Cherry as everyone calls her because of her red hair, is a strikingly beautiful and popular cheerleader. From the moment she meets Ponyboy and Johnny, she comes across as having strong standards. Examples of her highly developed sense of values include walking out on her boyfriend for bringing alcohol to the drive-in, and throwing a coke in Dally's face because he talked dirty to her.
