Question

compare and contrast how the author portrays the male and female characters in the story the outsiders

Answer 1

To be honest in the outsiders girls weren't known as "tough" but  were beautiful and rich. I dont remember any greaser girls, but there were soc's , the preppy people with money. The soc girls are often mistreated by soc boys and flirted with by one of the greasers. The redhead was nice to Johnny and pony boy at the drive in, so the girl socs are nice like some greasers known as johnny.
