Sodapop The Outsiders

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.

Friends and enemies can be made anywhere, including from literature. In the novel, The Outsiders, there is a plethora of diverse characters that can be found. Every character could be someone that plays a role in your life, whether it be as a friend, a frenemy, or someone that you despise enough to want to kill them. Sodapop is a stellar example of someone who you could become lifelong friends with, Two-Bit is someone who could be your frenemy, and one of the people that you might want to exterminate is Darry. These three characters have varying personalities that make you want to get along, or not get along, with them.

In the novel Sodapop likes Mikey Mouse not Two-Bit.Sodapop named a horse after Mickey Mouse because,he likes him very much.Sodapop always liked

He explains that he can’t choose since he could easily go either way. Soda says that it troubling to see the two fight like that. People just assume that the “happy-go-lucky” Soda has no issues, since he’s not really forward with it. Ponyboy says to himself,“Neither of us had realized what it was doing to soda to hear us fight” ( 175) This shows that even though Pony and Darry just took for granted that their kid brother didn’t have problems, he always feels an internal battle all the time at home with his brothers making him choose sides. Plus his girlfriend just admitted to being pregnant with the child of the person who she cheated on him with. This connects to the theme since Sodapopsince Sodapop never necessarily show his internal pain unlike Johnny but that doesn’t mean the pain’s not

After the tragic death of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darrel Curtis “Darry” parents, Darry takes their role and starts being responsible for them. In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Darry plays the role of the older brother of Sodapop and Ponyboy. In this book Darry can be described as very hardworking, loyal, and muscular/strong.

The book by S.E. HInton differs from the movie version because of appearances of the characters, ending being longer, and the introduction. First, in The Outsiders, it states Soda

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

The characters in The Outsiders are vivid figures, that all have distinct ways of thinking, speaking, and acting. Sodapop Curtis, Dallas (Dally) Winston, and Ponyboy Curtis were three characters that fit different descriptions. An example of a BFF would be Sodapop because he is a comforting, friendly, and calm. Dally is a perfect example for being someone’s frenemy because he is a infamous troublemaker but is good when it comes to a situation where you have to lie your way out or if you have to escape. Ponyboy could be exterminated from the Greasers because he does not help when it comes to fighting situations, and he acts cowardly and does not try to fight back much.

In The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton, the book as well the movie differ due in many ways. Certain characters are neglected in the movie and specific plot points are removed entirely. The first reason the book is different is that Sodapop is overlooked as a character. In this part of the story, Ponyboy (hereby referred to as PB) is describing how his brother Sodapop acts (hereby referred to as Soda). The book states, “He can get drunk in a drag race or dancing without ever getting near alcohol” (p.8).

The character Sodapop is caring because when Ponyboy had nightmares of his parents, Soda slept with him so he would stop having nightmares. Also, Soda asked Pony if he was cold after he was jumped by socs (the rich kids), and last Soda is going to wait to ask Sandy to marry him, so he can help take care of Pony and take care of bills and stuff with Darry.

Ponyboy Curtis lives with his two older brothers, Darry Curtis, and Sodapop Curtis, since his parents died in an auto wreck. Sodapop quit school to earn money at their local gas station and Darry watches over Ponyboy to make sure his grades are good, and that he finishes his homework. ” But we just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won. And now he didn't have time between jobs to even think about college.” 9 Hinton 81)

The valued devotion one of the main characters, Sodapop, conveys, bring the characters together as the novel reveals him as someone who is unfailingly caring while keeping a happy-go-lucky

For Sodapop family is the ideal illustration that makes others feel loved and he always tries to ensure that. In The Outsiders, Sodapop is characterized as happy-go-lucky, very caring and a peacekeeper between his loved
