When you read The Outsiders you gain respect for the other people, the people without a future, the people without big and rich families, and the people without the second chances. The Outsiders has a deeper meaning that most people don't catch. The main idea is not just greasers and Socs; it’s the deeper part of it and how family is more important than everything.
Without his brothers, Pony would have a worse life. The Curtis family has had a tough history with their family, with their parents dying and Darry having to have to grow up in a very short amount of time. It may not seem like it at first but Darry loves Pony; just because he hits him doesn’t mean he hates him, Darry really loves Pony he is just afraid that he will lose Pony like he did his parents. By Darry hitting Pony, which forces Pony to make a quick decision and it wasn’t the best one and runs away. That’s when the unseen family comes into play. He’s lucky to have his brothers, to have a family.
Without the gang, most of the boys would not have a support system. Dally gives advice to Johnny and Pony because of the support system and because without the system Dally wouldn’t of given Jonny the 50 dollars and Pony the shirt and Jacket. The system comes into place even at the brawl, when Tim Sheppard gang helped out with the brawl the system came into place.
The Outsiders has a moral and it is deeper than just greasers and Socs hurting each other. It is about the family and how much deeper it is than what meets the eye. The unseen family is important it is what keeps the greasers alive, together, and out of jail.
