EMOTIONS RUN HIGH

While the Greaser's emotions ran high and in the open, the Socs' emotions were kept inside and out of the public view.  The Greasers thought that the Socs had such a better life until they realized that they held every emotion inside, unlike themselves.  One of the Socials, Cherry, even states in the book, "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."  This just proves that they were emotionally different.
