GREAT JOB TODAY! For homework, complete one of the levels below.

Character Descriptions

Pony Boy

In case you didn't notice, Ponyboy is good at just about everything. We'd hate him... if we didn't love him so much:

I'm supposed to be smart; I make good grades and have a high IQ and everything, but I don't use my head. Besides, I like walking. (1.6)

He gets straight A's, excels at both sports and art, and is an ace writer. He can even turn a mean back flip in the air and can hold his own in a rumble. Pony's interested in everything from books and movies to the intricacies of nature. In the right situation, he can even recite you a poem from memory.

Pony's interests isolate him from his friends and family. Check out the number of times he tells us he's "different" and misunderstood? He also implies that Greasers are unfairly judged by teachers and other authority figures because of their financial status and their distinctive way of styling their hair, dressing, speaking, and acting. Pony is basically always trying to prove himself, but still maintain his uniqueness and express pride in who he is.

Johnny

Just before he dies, Johnny tells Pony to "Stay gold" (10.119). At the time, Pony has no idea what he's talking about. Astute readers will remember the Robert Frost poem, "Nothing Gold Can Stay," that Pony recited when he and Johnny watched the sun rise on top of Jay Mountain.

In the poem, the speaker suggests that the sunrise (gold) is the most innocent, pure part of the day. As the day goes on, it loses that innocence, just as human beings lose a lot of their innocence and purity when they grow up. Johnny explains that Pony's love of nature is part of his innocence, and that by holding on to this love, Pony can "stay gold."

Johnny wants to protect others (like Pony and the kids) not only from physical harm (like the fire) but from loosing their innocence (like Johnny has from his rough, violent life).

Dallas

Mr. Tough Guy

The rough, rugged and haunted Dallas fascinates Pony. Even before Pony becomes an ace storyteller, Dallas acts as his muse, or inspiration. Pony says,

More Than A Criminal

But Dallas is much more than his criminal face, and Pony does a good job of expressing his friend's complexity. Pony never condones the things Dallas does, but he shows us another side as well. Dally doesn't have any interest in saving the little kids from the fire—but he doesn't hesitate to try to save Johnny.

In fact, Johnny's life is so valuable to him that he doesn't think he can live without Johnny. Pony deals with his grief over Johnny's death by pretending Johnny isn't dead, but Dally goes on an all-out suicide mission (or at least this is how Pony sees it).
