The Outsiders responce journal entrie 1

So far in the book the outsiders we have met greasers and socs a gang of rich kids. But thats not what i’m going to talk about i’m going to talk about greasers and what they are.  The Greasers are the east side, middle- and lower-class poor kids. They wore leather jackets and jeans. They slicked their hair back to make it greasy and darker. They smoked weeds or cigarets and usually tried to stay out of fights. this is a picture of greasers

Greasers are a working class youth subculture that originated in the 1950s among young eastern and Southern United States street gangs, and then became popular among other types of people. In the 1950s and early 1960s, these youths were known as hoods. Their name came from their greased back hair, which involved combing back hair with wax, gel, creams, tonics or pomade. Other popular greases used were olive oil or petroleum jelly. Some greasers worked at gas stations or shops that repaired cars or motorcycles. The greaser style was imitated by many youths not associated with gangs, as an expression of rebellion. The term greaser reappeared in later times as a popular culture. Clothing items typically worn by greasers have included: Sir Guy shirts, white or black T-shirts often with the sleeves rolled up white A-shirts as outerwear ringer T-shirts, Italian knit shirts Daddy-O-style shirts; black, blue or khaki work jackets, black or brown trenchcoats, Levi denim jackets; leather jackets gray or black waist-length Cabretta leather jackets quilted work jackets blue or black Levi jeans with rolled-up cuffs anywhere from one to four inches and baggy cotton twill work trousers which were called baggie grays, baggie blues or sandbags. Here is some cars they drive. Thunderbird sometimes they take the bus, and usually they walk.  But most of them drove mustangs and souped up old cars.
