Reflect on our reading about the two main character groups from the “The Outsiders.” Complete one of the levels below.
Ponyboy
Ponyboy is fourteen, is our narrator, and has a
ton to say about himself and his world. Writing his story becomes a
way for Pony to deal with the generous portions of grief that keep coming his
way.
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 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
Poor Johnny has a really rough life.
According to Pony, sixteen-year-old Johnny looks like "a little dark puppy
that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers".
His parents are ignoring him. Johnny
can stay away from home for long periods of time and nobody seems to care or
notice, in sharp contrast to Pony's situation.
He doesn't quite get enough to eat,
and he often sleeps outdoors. The greasers makes up Johnny's entire support
system, but since they're struggling kids themselves, this support is far from
sufficient.
Even though Johnny has had crummy role models, he's tries to stand up and be a good person. We never see him being mean or mistreating others. He even challenges his idol, Dallas, when he sees how uncomfortable Dallas is making Cherry and Marcia at the movies.
