Option 3:  Read the passage and answer the questions that follow. Write Complete sentences. Use examples from the text to support your responses/points.

* We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we're wilder, too. 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 asset to society the next. Greasers are almost like hoods; we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have a gang fight once in a while. I don't mean I do things like that. Darry would kill me if I got into trouble with the police…So Soda and I stay out of trouble as much as we can, and we're careful not to get caught when we can't. I only mean that most greasers do things like that, just like we wear our hair long and dress in blue jeans and T-shirts, or leave our shirttails out and wear leather jackets and tennis shoes or boots. I'm not saying that either Socs or greasers are better; that's just the way things are.

Somos más pobres que los Socs y la clase media ... más salvajes también. No como los Socs, que saltan graseros y destrozan casas y lanzan explosiones de cerveza para patadas, y consiguen ... en el periódico por ser una desgracia pública un día y un activo para la sociedad al siguiente. Los engrasadores son casi como capuchas; Robamos cosas y manejamos autos viejos y mantenemos estaciones de gasolina y tenemos una pelea de pandillas de vez en cuando. No quiero decir que hago cosas así ... Soda y yo nos mantenemos fuera de problemas tanto como podamos, y tenemos cuidado de no pillarnos cuando no podemos. Lo único que quiero decir es que la mayoría de los graseros hacen cosas como esas, así como llevamos el pelo largo y nos vestimos con vaqueros azules y camisetas, o dejamos nuestras camisetas y llevamos chaquetas de cuero y zapatos de tenis o botas. No estoy diciendo que los Socs o los Grasers son mejores; Así son las cosas.

1. ¿Cómo se comportan los Socs?
2. ¿Qué sucede cuando los Socs se meten en problemas?
3. ¿Cómo se comportan los graseros?
