How Is Ponyboy Different

The original book is told from the perspective of pony boy so he is very biased to the socs point of view. In one scene Dally, pony boy's older brother, slaps Ponyboy. Ponyboy is very biased to Dally because he thinks dally is being unkind and does not care about him. This is related to Johnny stabbing scene in where you are still very biased to the antagonist in that particular scene. just like you are bias to antagonast in this scens Dally

Everyone has their own unique traits and personalities which define who you are in life. Ponyboy Curtis, a 15 year old teenager and the main character in the novel “The Outsiders” written by S.E. Hinton shows his many traits throughout the story in which define him. He is the youngest Curtis and a Greaser who narrates the story. He lives with his brothers Darry and Sodapop because his parents died in a car accident. Throughout the novel Ponyboy shows his own unique traits such as his struggles with understanding social classes, his loyalty to others, and finally the importance of a strong family bond.

Johnny and Ponyboy are two characters in S.E Hinton’s novel ‘The Outsiders.' They both have contrary lives from each other with a few similarities, as well as being two greasers from a second society. Johnny has had a rough life so far since both his parents never cared for him. His mother would abuse him verbally, and his father would abuse him physically and verbally. As for Ponyboy, both of his parents died, leaving him with his two older brothers Sodapop and Darry. Johnny and Ponyboy both read ‘Nothing Gold Can Stay’ at the ran down church. They didn’t know precisely what the poem meant, but little do they know that the poem would have a significant similarity to them individually. Each line and stanza refer to the experiences that Johnny and Ponyboy have lived through throughout the story.

After Johnny’s death, Ponyboy finds a letter written by Johnny that reads, “When you’re a kid everything’s new, dawn. It’s just when you get used to everything that it’s day. Like the way you dig sunsets, Pony. That’s gold. Keep it that way, it’s a good way to be,” (178). Johnny urges Ponyboy to embrace his youth and innocence by not yielding to the greaser lifestyle. He insists on Ponyboy seeking his full potential. Ponyboy acknowledges that there are different stories beyond one’s appearance like himself because although the society previously consider him a nuisance to the community, they are proved wrong after he transforms into a hero after saving children from a church fire, which contributes to his dynamic change. Even the close-minded public are subject to their own change of mind. Johnny’s letter also leaves a lifelong impact on Ponyboy’s perspective on the importance of family because the absence of family in Johnny’s life makes Ponyboy treasure the atypical family he has, whether it may the greasers as a whole. In all, a number of people influence Pony to change his views on people and his

The movie comes to an end and the group decides to walk over to Two-Bit's house to get his car to take the girls home. Two-Bit and Marcia are continuing to get along, and as they walk Ponyboy and Cherry amaze themselves as they divulge insights as confidants. Cherry shares her philosophy on what separates the two gangs — not only money but passion as well. The Socs lack strong emotions; they are cool almost to the point of not feeling. Ponyboy is amazed, though, at how similar the two gangs really are. Pony boy is confused on why there was ever a wall between the two gangs, because they are both drastically similar. Ponyboy's character continues to grow as his perspective changes, and he realizes the many similarities that he and Cherry share.

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

Imagine being dumb, stealing and carrying blades everywhere you go, and being unable to feel deeply, those words would make people think of Greasers. Most people when they think of gangs they think, that they fight, steal, and do not care about what is going on around them. Those statements that Greaser's and other assortments of gangs are dumb, criminals, and unfeeling may not be true, Ponyboy, the main character in S.E. Hinton’s book The Outsiders, opposes all of those statements.

To discuss Ponyboy´s evolving of the SOCS he clearly has a more understanding for the SOCS like when Randy came to his house where in the beginning of the book they probably would have killed him or beat him up. Plus now he understands that SOCS have feelings to like when Cherry said that she sees sunsets to and thatś what the SOCS and Greasers have in common. In the beginning the Greasers thought that the SOCS were just rich people who have no feelings and just are cold as antarctica now they understand that they have feelings and are just normal people with dads and moms who are rich.

In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, one of the characters Johnny winds up in the hospital and the other character Ponyboy, is frightened that he’s gonna die. Ponyboy and Johnny have a relationship with each other. One that lasted for an endless path. Ponyboy knew if Johnny would die, he would probably have to face the Socs himself, when they came by.

At the end of Chapter 1, Ponyboy says “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” but before that, he stated that he didn’t care that Darry didn’t love him and that Darry thought Ponyboy was a burden and someone that he could yell at. Ponyboy said that he didn’t care about Darry at all but he often lied to himself. What Ponyboy means is that he does care about Darry but he just can’t accept the fact. However, the reason why he does it could be a variety of factors and reasons. It may be because he is too prideful or arrogant to admit it to himself. Perhaps he is just trying to save himself from the pain of unreciprocated feelings that Darry seems to give out. Maybe Ponyboy is trying to get back at Darry by trying to convince himself

In the outsiders, the first chapter introduces the main character, Ponyboy and gives a short history about him and his family. He designates the difference between the relationships between the members in his gang, and the relationship between both of his brothers. His parents were killed in a car accident, so that’s why he was just left alone to live with his older 2 brothers.

Smoking cigarettes, murder accomplice, and fights all words to describe Pony boy. Pony boy Curtis is his full name. His parents had been killed in an automobile crash. Pony boy will go into foster care for three reasons better learning environment, less trouble, and better living environments. The initial reason is a better area. Foster care parents have to move you out of that area, so you will have a chance to go to a better school. Better school means more up to date textbooks, gyms, band equipment, and more programs and clubs. Also a better neighborhood could improve in Pony boy's behavior. A better area can lead to better kids. If it is a good area there is probably fun stuff to do there. For example a skating rink, bowling ally, movie

Throughout our lifetime we often find ourselves surrounding ourselves with people that look like us, think like us and all-around act like us. This behavior is common in humans because we tend to surround ourselves with people like us because we like the comfort that it brings. Our nature is to reject or turn away from things that are not like what we are used to. In Beverly Daniel Tatum’s “Why are all of the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria?’ She describes the psychological reasons why we as humans gravitate to the ones who are most similar to us.

I watched as Ponyboy and Johnny conversed about everything and anything. His health, the rest of the gang, the world, and their future. Every time I heard Johnny talk about his future or about his injuries, I choked up. I had a part of me feeling that made me feel for him. As a low school bully I had never felt this, but I heard of the feeling called empathy I was experiencing now. I realized that I have never had any real friends or family the cared for me. Thinking back on everything I had done to Piddy I am appalled it was me who did those acts. As Ponyboy was trying not to cry every time he spoke to Johnny on his hospital bed I flinched. Watching what I thought to be one of their last encounters before he died. Johnny said, “I’m pretty bad off, ain't I, Pony?” and I lost it, I’ve never

How would you feel if your family and you were in a fight? Darry and Ponyboy got into a fight and started a lot of drama in the family and many bad things happened in conclusion to those events. Dalleys choices affected ponyboy by ponyboy staying out late and making Dalley mad, making him run away from home and saving kids in a burning church.
