Decent Essays

Everyone knows the character Ponyboy, but have you ever stopped and thought of the kind of person he is? Well I’ll tell you he’s brave, lucky, kind, and caring. Some traits you don’t really see in the other characters in the book, maybe that’s what makes him special. Maybe that’s why there is no other character like him. Ponyboy is the bravest character in book. One reason is that Ponyboy didn’t run away from johnny when he killed Bobby. Also another reason is that Ponyboy never left Jonny. Ponyboy was with until the end. Lastly in the book it says “I wasn’t about to go through that flaming door, so I slammed a big rock through a window and pulled myself in”.Ponyboy broke the window and though himself in to save the kids from the burning …show more content…

Just like Johnny had. He is also lucky because when ponyboy and Johnny came back to town Ponyboy wasn't sentenced to jail. When they came home Ponyboy wasn’t just lucky because he wasn’t sent to jail he is lucky because he and Sodapop weren’t taken away from Darry and put into a boys home. Maybe he wasn’t just lucky because he ‘get hurt maybe he’s lucky because he still has a family. I wish that some of the characters from the outsiders were as kind as Ponyboy. When randy wanted to talk to Ponyboy, Ponyboy decided to talk to him instead of fighting him. Another reason that he is kind is that when the church was burning down instead of just standing there Ponyboy took action and saved those kids. Also when Johnny killed Bobby Ponyboy didn’t freak out on Johnny, he cooled down and tried to think this through with Johnny.

Ponyboy is Brave, lucky, kind, and funny. But that's not just what makes him special it's that he's considerate too. When ponyboy, Johnny and Dally were all in separate ambulances Ponyboy wasn't worried about himself and if he was going to be ok. He kept asking if Johnny was going to be ok. Also when Johnny and ponyboy first got to the church he wasn’t nervous at what might happen to him or Johnny he was worried at what will happen to Sodapop and Darry, and how they were going to cope. After the rumble when Dally brought Ponyboy to the hospital to see Johnny, Ponyboy was scared that Johnny might die from his injuries. Ponyboy was scared for Johnny and his health even though Ponyboy was hurt too. I believe that the author did a phenomenal job on creating the character ponyboy. When she wrote that Johnny's last words were “Stay Gold Ponyboy” she meant that Johnny didn’t want Ponyboy to lose his golden side after he died. This would never happen. I thought that it was interesting when the author made Ponyboy have all of these great traits because he made Ponyboy be a street kid, sort of poor, no parent, and he was a greaser. When the author describes ponyboy you would expect him to be almost rich live in a nice neighborhood, have parents, and definitely not be a greaser. So she shows the reader that even though he’s a greaser he can still be an astonishing kid
