The Greasers fight in the book The Outsiders because the Soc's drive around in their fancy cars looking for trouble. They go around and jump kids like Johnny and almost Ponyboy. The Greasers are considered dirty and a menace to society, while the Soc's are consider rich kids who never start trouble. The Greasers fight because they feel like they must protect and defend themselves. The two gangs also fight because each gang has their own problems and they take it out on each other. In the story, the fighting escalates to rumble. Eventually, Ponyboy(Greaser) and Randy(Social) realizes that the fighting is useless. They realize that it isn't going to solve their own problems. As Cherry Valence had previously said, they all watch the same sunset.

They have a rumble because, they had a deal. If the Socs won, then they would continue to come to the greaser territory and bully them. If the greasers won, the socs wouldn't be allowed to come to the greaser territory. z

The Greasers resent the Socs because they have money and flaunt their material possessions to the poor Greasers. They also resent the Socs because of their families status the Socs get away with things while the Greasers get in to trouble for the same things.

Well, when the Ewoks came to shape the earth into a sphere, the Ewoks also created gangs, and they controlled all the gangs into having hatred for all separate gangs. The greasers and Socs are one of the Ewok's gangs.

The greasers and the socs were both from different parts of town. The Socs had more money, and the gresers were usually more poor than the socs.

They fight because the greasers are from the poor side and the socs are from the rich side of the town, and they are gangs so they fight all the time.
