In S.E. Hinton's novel "The Outsiders," during the rumble between the Greasers and the Socs, each character sustains injuries that reflect the brutality of the fight.
1. **Soda** suffers from a serious injury to his side, which is mentioned as a deep cut that affects him significantly after the rumble. He also experiences emotional turmoil during and after the fight, feeling the weight of the ongoing conflict between the two groups.
2. **Darry** ends up with a bad bruise under his eye, a result of the rough nature of the fight. His role as a protector of the Greasers complicates his injuries, as he feels the responsibility for his younger brothers, Soda and Ponyboy.
3. **Two-Bit** sustains a cut on his face, as well as some bruising, which is consistent with his tough persona. His injuries symbolize the toughness of the Greasers and the risks they take during conflicts with the Socs.
These injuries not only illustrate the physical toll of the rumble but also underscore the emotional and social struggles the characters face throughout the novel.
