Hi there!
In the novel, The Outsiders, author S.E Hilton makes the resolution clear that protagonist, Pony learns that not all Socs are the same. The same analogy that not all Greasers are the same. Pony begins to see the past stereotyping and breaks it down, realizing that guys are just guys. Towards the end of the book, Pony finds a letter from Johnny, telling Pony that his sacrifice was worth it and to "stay gold." Later Pony decides to write his theme for English based on Johnny's story for all the boys out there who lived hard lives. He began his theme with "when I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." (Hilton 180)
