Ponyboy has a more realistic outlook on the world. 

In page 36, ponyboy explains “Even if they did their own troubles, I really couldn’t see what Socs would have to sweat about –good grades, good cars, good girls, madras and mustangs and Corvairs-man, I thought if I had worries like that I’d consider myself lucky.” The greasers don’t have what socs have, the greasers are broke, they carry knives, and wear long leather jackets, their always smoking and drinking. They also get jumped by the socs, Every one has problems but that don’t mean you have to be pushing other around and making others feel bad on how they look and live. Cherry disagrees she thinks things are rough all over. In page     

yes the socs have problems here and there but the greasers worry about walking home alone and worry about how to defend their self's when they know they cant. The greasers have to carry a blade and I think he Socs carry a blade with them because Dally says  “And you can’t win against them no matter how hard you try, because they’ve got all the breaks and even whipping them isn’t going to change the fact.”Cherry says that “I’ll bet you think the Socs have it made. The rick kids, the West-side Socs. I’ll tell you something, Ponyboy, and it may come to you as a surprise. We have troubles you have never even heard of. You want to know something?” she looked at me straight in the eye. “Things are rough all over” page 34.  Ponyboy doesn’t know what to expect from the socs , yes they all have struggles but they greasers have it worse.  

Catching Fire

  In the book Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, We are reading about districts rebellion against the capital and about how the tributes are getting tired of being controlled by snow. Here are some acts of defiance by tributes.

 In Katniss private session she hung a dummy with Senecs Crana’s name on it. Katniss’s message is to reminds the Gamemarkers that she out smarted them, she could be threating them because she thinks she cause his death. On page 238, Katniss did it because the text says “To show them that I’m not a piece in there game” I can infer that Katniss is done being scared.

In Peetas private session he painted Rues body covered her in flowers from the 1^st games. Peeta is reminding the gamemarkers that they are responsible for Rues death, he’s showing respect for another tributes. On page 240, Peeta expilns “I just wanted to hold them accountable, if only for a moment “For killing that little girl.” His actions would be considered defiant because there not to be respectful to other tributes.

At the end of the interview all of the tributes held hands in unity. On page 258 it says “All twenty-four of us stand I one unbroken line in what must be the first public show of unity among the districts.” Their actions effected the capital and snow because they are saying if they go down they go down together.

Cinna turned the wedding dress that sow demanded she wore, into a Mackingjay. Made her dress back fire on president snow because it turned into a symbol of rebellion. On page 253 katnisss remembers him saying “Don’t worry. I always channel my emotions into my work. That way I didn’t hurt anyone but myself.” I can infer that katniss knows president snow will not ignore this.

My conclusion, I think Katniss because president snow is already out to killer her. She is also doing things she shouldn’t be doing
