Ponyboy doesn’t think darry likes him at all, “if he wanted to pretend I didn’t exist, that would be fine”

Cherry told him to not talk to her about school, “it’s not personal” I think it has to do with her reputation

“I was wishing I looked like Paul Newman—he looks tough and I don’t—” here he is looking down on his self image

A ponyboy vs greasers moment, would be when he said, “it’s not fair, the socs have everything” saying that being a greaser wasn’t exactly enough for ponyboy

Darry works to hard and long to be interested in a story or drawing a picture, so I’m not like him. Page 2.

Darry is or, treating me like I’m six rather than fourteen. Page 4

It drives my brother darry nuts when I do stuff like that because I’m supposed to be smart. Page 6

“I’m kind of small for fourteen even though I have a good build.” This shows how PonyBoy knows that he’s not the tallest and just accepting it at this point.

a. Darry is always hard on Pony and is always wants more from him. He is also rough with him and yells at him, sometimes not intentionally.

B. Pony and Darry do not enjoy being Greasers and cherish their friendships more than they do their unfavorable reputations.

C.Darry works hard roofing houses, but he often came home feeling sore. Ponyboy contemplates that "Darry didn't deserve to work like an old man when he was only twenty

“We couldn’t let our parents see us with you all. You’re a nice boy and everything…” (paragraph 64) I think this was an important part of the story because cherry cheered ponyboy up by saying he’s nice and all especially since earlier his best mate Johnny was injured by the socs jumping him which made him sad.

Pony boy and Darry do not have good relation ship because Ponyboy thinks Darry doesn't love him and “can't stand him”

Ponyboy vs. johnny on paragraph 42 Ponyboy made fun of Johnny and took it to far. Then Johnny gets mad at ponyboy.

# data[].attributes.body
“I have quite a rep for being quiet, almost as quiet as Johnny.”
This makes me think that Johnny and ponyboy have many similarities such as they are both quiet and they’re both the youngest of their gang.

1. “You just don’t cry in front of darry” shows that he will probably be disrespectful if ponyboy cries.

2. “Darry looked as if he wanted to knock our two heads together” shows that he is totally done with soda pop and ponyboy.

3. Darry said impatiently, “When I want my kid brother to tell me what to do with my other kid-brother
, I’ll ask you kid-brother.”

I had nearly forgotten that cherry was listening to me. But when I cam back to reality and looked at her, I was startled to find her as white as a sheet

“All Socs aren’t like that,” she said. “You have to believe me, ponyboy. Not all of us are like that

“Sure,” I said

“That’s like saying all you greasers are like Dallas winston. I’ll bet he’s jumped a few people.”

I digested that. It was true. Dally had jumped people. He had told us stories about muggings in New York that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. But not all of us were that bad.

Cherry no longer looked sick, only sad. “I’ll bet you think Socs have it made. The rich kids the west-side Socs. I’ll tell you something, ponyboy, and it many come as surprise. We have troubles you’ve never heard of. You want to know something?”
She looked me straight in the eye. “Things are rough all over.”

In chapter 3 Cherry and Ponyboy have a conversation saying that Cherry can’t be seen with Ponyboy because of how they are from different groups. And she said that he is great and all but they would get in trouble if they get caught seen with eachother.

“I turned and ran out the door and down the street as fast as I could. Darry screamed “pony, I didn’t mean to!” I think this one scene ruined their friendship because now ponyboy is scared of Darry.

“Soda was glaring at him. “Leave my kid brother alone, you hear? It ain’t his fault he likes to go to the movies, and it ain’t his fault the Socs like to jump us, and if he had been carrying a blade it would have been a good excuse to cut him to ribbons.” Soda always takes up for me.” (62-63) The relationship between Soda and Ponyboy includes Soda defending Ponyboy because he loves Ponyboy and the other greasers can be tough on him because he’s a kid.
