Ponyboys Script

Please be careful, because I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you” (98). Pony realizes that his assumption was wrong and that Darry just wants the best for him. Since Ponyboy knows that Darry loves him, he stops telling himself that he hates Darry and starts opening up to him. He also stops making rude comments about Darry because he now knows none of it is true. Darry's love helps Pony grow as an individual, but so does the last thing Johnny says before he dies.

"Sodapop came loping back. By then I had figured that all the noise I had heard was the gang coming to rescue me" (7). The reason why Ponyboy and Sodapop are really close brothers is because they've been loyal to each other. And now, as they continue to show loyalty, the trust between them

Soda and I ran to Steve Randle’s house. Soda knocked on the front door. I heard loud footsteps running to open it. “Hey, Soda. Ponyboy. Whatcha doing here?”

Ponyboy’s perspective of Darry changed later in the novel when Ponyboy noticed one of Darry’s actions. When ponyboy walks out of the hospital room that Johnny is in, he spots Sodapop and goes over to hug him. Ponyboy

At the end of the book Ponyboy finally comes to terms with the deaths of Johnny and Dally, and he finally realizes that violence is not the answer when he makes up with Darry. Darry and Ponyboy are shouting at each other, and Ponyboy asks Sodapop to take his side. This causes Sodapop to rush out of the house, and Ponyboy and Darry chase after him. When they finally catch up Sodapop tells them he feels sick of being pulled apart by their fights. Ponyboy sympathizes with Sodapop as he says in the text: “Darry and I did play tug of war with him, with never a thought to how much it was hurting him.” Ponyboy suddenly understands what his fighting with Darry has done to Sodapop, and later in their conversation Ponyboy realizes why he never got along with Darry: “I saw that I had expected Darry to do all the understanding without even trying to

Overall, Soda is caring in the story. Ponyboy gives the reader a reason to believe that Sodapop cares about him when he says “I hated to worry Sodapop” (pg. 16). This is explaining how Sodapop worries about Ponyboy, which shows how much Soda cares. Another instance of Sodapop’s helpfulness is being seen when he nurtured Johnny. “Soda held him and pushed his hair back out of his eyes. “It’s okay, Johnnycake, they’re gone now. It's okay.”” (pg. 33). Sodapop could have walked away from Johnny. Instead, he held him and reassured him.

He thought to himself “How many times had Soda started to tell me something... He would always listen to me, no matter what he was doing.” (Page 124) This is the point where Ponyboy realized that he took Soda for granted, and never really listened to him, even though Soda would drop everything for him. We learn that Soda is a very gentle and thoughtful individual, who listens to people’s problems and would do anything to fix them. If it weren't for this trait, Soda would be a rude, hated person that no one can care for, and vice versa for Soda.

Two-Bit was really trying to go somewhere and Ponyboy realized then and there that none of them were greasers anymore. There was a line that greasers didn’t cross, but Darry, Sodapop, Ponyboy, and even Two-Bit had all crossed it. This line was the rule that everyone knew about, but never uttered a word about. This line was clearly embedded in the minds of all the

In this chapter, Ponyboy still in the hospital spending all his time reading and drawing pictures. Oneday he came across a picture of Bob in Soda’s old yearbooks. Then he keeps looking at it and thinking about him and how he had been killed.

“I bet he wishes he could stick me in a home somewhere and he’d do it too if Soda’d let him.” This quote proves that Ponyboy should be taken from Darry and be put in the system. He would be better off in the system because it would provide better influences on Ponyboy. Darry has shown that he is not a responsible guardian because he and his brothers participate in gang activities such as rumbles.

“Oh, damnit Johnny, don’t die, please don’t die…”” Ponyboy used to think of Dally of this strong guy, who didn’t care about anything or anyone, but after the scene, Ponyboy realizes that he has feelings, he has a soft spot and he cares about

It is apparent throughout the movie that Ponyboy struggles with his identity. After his parents had passed away, his older brother, Darrel, became the parental figure for Ponyboy and his other brother, Sodapop. Ponyboy had felt that Darrel didn’t like him anymore and feels that Darrel blames

They began arguments impulsively, and not always as part of their feud with the Socs. One example of this occurred when Dally robbed a grocery store in a period of despair after a Greaser named Johnny died. Dally notified his fellow Greasers after the crime and they responded in panic, feeling that they “gotta hide him” (page 153). The other Greasers encouraged Dally’s evasion of the cops, becoming accomplices to the crime. The cops pursued and shot Dally, fatally, when he acted as if he was about to shoot them. This part of the downward spiral of events in the book began with Dally’s impulsiveness in the grocery store, not with the feud or with fury. Ponyboy even admitted that Dally was an unstable person, saying, “he died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he’d die someday” (page 154). This proves that even the Greasers see that they are liable to cause turmoil in any
