Read the following excerpt from “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton

Level 1: "No," Cherry said slowly when I said this. "It's not just money. Part of it is, but not all. You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated.

Level 1: What does Cheery say about the Socs?

a). They are emotional.

b). They are sophisticated..

c). Cherry did not say anything.

Level 2: "No," Cherry said slowly when I said this. "It's not just money. Part of it is, but not all. You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated--- cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us. You know, sometimes I'll catch myself talking to a girl-friend, and realize I don't mean half of what I'm saying.

Level 2: What does the Cherry say about the Greasers? Use evidence from the text.

Cherry says _________________________________________________.

Level 3: "No," Cherry said slowly when I said this. "It's not just money. Part of it is, but not all. You greasers have a different set of values. You're more emotional. We're sophisticated--- cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us. You know, sometimes I'll catch myself talking to a girl-friend, and realize I don't mean half of what I'm saying. I don't really think a beer blast on the river bottom is super-cool, but I'll rave about one to a girl-friend just to be saying something." She smiled at me. "I never told anyone that. I think you're the first person I've ever really gotten through to." She was coming through to me all right, probably because I was a greaser, and younger; she didn't have to keep her guard up with me.

Level 3: Why do you think Cherry explains the Socs to Ponyboy?
