In the book outsiders how did pony boy describe socs?

In the novel "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy Curtis describes the Socs (short for "Socials") as the privileged, wealthy kids from the West side of town. He sees them as being different from the Greasers, who are from the East side and come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

Ponyboy describes the Socs as having a "cool breeze" about them, meaning they act calm and confident. They are often seen wearing nice clothes, driving expensive cars, and attending parties. They are also portrayed as being tough and violent, often picking fights with the Greasers.

In general, Ponyboy views the Socs with a mix of admiration and resentment. He is attracted to their lifestyle but also feels that they are superficial and dismissive of the Greasers. The differences between the Socs and the Greasers are a central theme in the novel and contribute to the conflict and tension between the two groups.
