Tim Shepard's Gang (The Shepards)

* Social Class: Similar lower class background as the Greasers.
* Values: Focused on fighting, toughness, and dominance.
* Image: Similar to Greasers - rough, rebellious.
* Attitude: More aggressive and less empathetic than the Greasers. They are more likely to engage in violence without considering the consequences.
Key Differences:
* Level of violence: Tim Shepard's gang is known for being more violent and aggressive than the Greasers. They are often involved in brawls and more serious crimes.
* Social interaction: The Greasers, despite their toughness, have a strong sense of brotherhood and care for each other. The Shepards are more focused on individual gain and power, with less emphasis on loyalty.
* Relationship with other gangs: The Greasers have a complex relationship with the Socs (the upper-class gang), while the Shepards are more independent and less concerned with that specific rivalry.
In Summary: While both gangs are made up of lower-class "outsiders," Tim Shepard's gang is more aggressive and focused on power, whereas Ponyboy's group, the Greasers, have a stronger sense of brotherhood and a deeper desire for understanding and acceptance.
