# data[].attributes.body
Character:
The three brothers, Ponyboy, Soda pop, and Darry have different relationships with each other. Ponyboy and Sodapop have a very close bond between them. However, Ponyboy and Darry have the relationship of the oldest and youngest sibling. Darry doesn't take Ponyboy seriously and treats him like a toddler. The middle sibling is the peacemaker in the and is able to talk to both siblings easily.

# data[].attributes.body
Ponyboy has a dilemma on if he should have someone come with him to the movie theaters or not. If he doesn't bring a friend, he could get mugged for being a greaser. If he brought someone along, he would probably be fine but they wouldn't really be interested in the movie and it would make the movie less fun.
When Ponyboy gets mugged by Socs, at first he isn't too scared but once he realizes that they could actually kill him, he gets very scares and remembers his friend lying on the side walk and very bruised up. Lucky for him, his screaming attracted his gang to come and the Socs ran away.

Darry is quite strict on Ponyboy and Ponyboy never feels like what he is doing is enough for Darry. Sodapop is a lot nicer to Ponyboy and they are closer in age.

Ponyboy is very close to all of the gang members and while they might not like him as much, they all know each other very well.

It was easier for kids to get into trouble during this time, making it more dangerous to be alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Plot
Ponyboy is nervous about walking around his neighborhood alone.

# data[].attributes.body
Conflict:
On page five when he gets mugged by a stronger, and more powerful group of people, or gang, it is an example of the social hierarchy during the 1960s. Greasers, like him, were often look down apon by the higher class Socs. Greasers would often be beat/mugged if found alone in the street.

Character:
Ponyboy is thinks that his older brother Darry doesn't care for him. He lies to himself and pretends that he doesn't care for Darry either, to help take the pain away.

Character:
Ponyboy and the gang he is in is alike a family. I mean this by everyone caring for each other.

# data[].attributes.body
Conflict:
When everyone is together in the gang it is like a family. But when they are by themselves they are outsiders. You can see this when Ponyboy is walking by himself and the Socs came, he was them beaten up. But when the rest of the gang came he was safe and protected.

# data[].attributes.body
Ponyboy can get along with his gang well because they all have shared experiences. Each of them are looked at as outsiders, and they can relate and connect with each other over that.
