This fight resulted in Ponyboy and Johnny killing a Soc, runnning away, going missing for five days, and getting Ponyboy injured and Johnny dead.

He gets himself into a position where he is charged with murder. He also drinks, smokes, and gets into fights regularly. His parents died so his brothers are now his parents. If someone's parents died, their older brothers should not become their parents. Where he lives there are two groups, the Greaser, the poorer group, and the Socs, the richer group. He is part of Grasers where he gets jumped and beaten up. This is why Ponyboy should not be living with Darry and Sodapop.

At the beginning, Ponyboy doesn’t understand the concerns of Darry, but towards the end, he understands that Darry is overprotective for him. For example, when Ponyboy came late home from the lot and Darry hit him and he ran away with Johnny. He said to Johnny, “He didn't use to be like that... we used to get along okay... before Mom and Dad died. Now he just can't stand

“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.” Ponyboy thought. (page 1), Sodapop Curtis, from the book, The Outsiders, is caring, because he dropped out of school for Ponyboy, worries about Pony, and helps Darry and Pony stop fighting/arguing. The Outsiders was a book written by S.E. Hinton. The Outsiders explains how social classes matter in this town. There are two groups, the Greasers and the Socs.

“Gee,’ Johnny said softly, ‘I thought you and Darry and Soda got along real well…’” (Hinton,p.42).Darry is a role model for Ponyboy even though they didn’t get along very well in the beginning. Ponyboy still looks up to Darry because of how he is able to have two jobs to support him and his brothers, and how he is able to keep up with the things that go on in their lives even though he is busy. Even though Ponyboy and Darry don’t get along very well they still love each other and truly care about on

Like he’s never hollering at me all the time the way Darry is, or threatening me as if I was six instead of fourteen”, Darry still loves and protects Ponboy in all situations.

When Ponyboy and Johnny had ran away because of the murder Johnny had committed, Darry didn’t have the slightest bit of anger and didn’t turn them in which is unlikely for Darry because he usually likes to obey the law and stays out of trouble. The lack of anger from Darry is evident through the letter that Soda pop had written to Pony boy, addressing how Darry was worried sick. “Darry hasn’t got the slightest notation where you are and it’s nearly killing him” page 70.
