Rick's Homework:
After reading these three chapters, I have two questions.
The First one is that why there is always clash between Socs and Greasers (I have known that there are some differences between Socs and Greasers and there are already 3 clash between these two gangs, but I still have no idea about my question).
The second question I want to share is why Dally is so clam after hearing about the story of Johnny and willing to help them.
To the question What is your definition of an “outsider?”. I think the outsiders are the people who are not good at their profession, not accepted by most people and who don't have contributions to the community. For examples, students in the school who are not good at studying may be called the outsiders by others. And when the students who are not clear with the situation about their group activities or cannot make a contribution to the activity can be also called the outsiders by others. On the other hand, I think the outsiders can be also consider as the foreigners. For examples, if we having fun travelling to a foreign place. The local people may call us the outsiders. In this case, I I think 'the outsiders' does not mean bad words but a honorific title to others. So sometimes we shouldn't be mad with others when others call us the outsiders. That's what I thought about the meaning of the outsiders.
