Not like the Socs, who jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace one day and an

Have you ever been in a situation that someone does something and then you do the same thing and get into trouble? Like if someone tells you not to touch something and your friend touches it and then when you touch it you get in trouble. In S.E Hinton's book, The Outsiders, it it's kind of the same.

Concluding Statement In conclusion, the force of attraction and love is something unique and hard to replicate.
