symbolizes the main theme

The one object that symbolizes the main theme of the book, The Outsiders, is a comb. A comb symbolizes the whole story because the greaser always cared about their hair. Their hair was a to shows that their are a greaser. Greasers put grease in their hair to make it sine in the sunlight and they always have it combed. They always have there comb in the back pocket of their faded blue jeans. Greasers always has had their long hair combed to one side or the other. Having greasy hair was their way of showing they were a greaser. I always thought they were called greasers because they lived in the hood and never cleaned up. A comb is the one object that I would use to symbolized as the main theme of the book.
