What does Cherry explain as the difference between the Socs and the Greasers?

When Cherry Valance and her friend Marcia go to the movies, they are not expecting to hang out with Greasers.  And Ponyboy and Johnny aren't expecting to get to know Socs, but that's what happens.


As they talk, they come to believe that there aren't that many differences.  Ponyboy says they are the same, but Cherry disagrees.  She says that Greasers live life more fully -- that they feel things and have emotions.  She says Socs don't.  She talks about how she'll just say stuff to her girlfriends to be talking, but she doesn't really believe what she's saying and she doesn't really feel things deeply the way Greasers do.


For more details, look at the end of Chapter 2 and the beginning of Chapter 3.
