Out of all of the characters in “The Outsiders”, I can relate most to ponyboy. If I knew Ponyboy in person, I would definitely be in his clique and I would fit right in.

Then there is Johnny, who is the second-youngest greaser in their gang, besides Ponyboy. Johnny is “smaller than the rest, with a slight build.
