Description: Curly is part of the Shepard gang, being the younger brother of Tim Shepard, leader of the group. He's only mentioned once in the book, when Pony recalls a previous event with him, where they played chicken. The aim of the game was to see who was tougher by holding a lit cigarette against their skin.

During the novel, it is said that he is currently in the reformatory for trying to break into a liquor store. Curly is not a main character in the story and has no effect on the main plot what so ever. He is simply there to give the story some realism as well as showing the nature and environment of the Greasers life (chicken game, reformatory).

As he is the brother of Tim Shepard he may look like this brother physically. His brother is described to be a 'lean, catlike, eighteen year old who looked like the model JD you seen in movies and magazines'. Tim has curly black hair and dark blue eyes and a 'grim and bitter' smile like Dally's, as well as being constantly restless.

Quotations:

This character is only a backgroud character in the book and does not have any dialogue.

he is the oldest of the gang, besides darry,and he is the jokester of the group.  He is always saying something smart and no one can shut him up. His name is Keith, although everyone calls him Two-Bit because he always has to get his two bits worth in. he is about six feet tall with rusty coloured sideburns and grey eyes. He was famous for his shoplifting and his switchblade and he was always smarting out at the cops. Everything he was so irresistibly funny and he just had to let the police  inon it to brighten up there dull lives.

Quotes: "Glory, Two-Bit, scare us to death!" - Johnnyc                                                                                                   This shows that he jokes around alot and although he is the oldest he is not the most mature

Randy Adderson in this story is known as Marcia boyfriend and Bob's best friend. Randy is a good looking Soc who later in the story finds out the pointlessness of fighting and violence due to the loss of his friend. He also helps Ponyboy realise that Socs are as vulnerable to pain as anyone else would be. He tries to make up with Ponyboy after Ponyboy saves the children from the fire and refuses to fight in the Greasers v.s. Socs Rumble.

Quotations from Randy include:

"Greasers will be Greasers and Socs will be Socs. Sometimes i think that the ones in the middle that are really the lucky stiff."

"We couldnt get along without him. We needed Johny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason."

"It's okay.... We aren't the same class. Just don't forget some of us watch the sunset too."

We think that Randy is a Sidekick to Bob in the novel.

Marcia, Cherry's friend and Randy's girlfriend is who Ponyboy and Two-Bit find with Sherry Valance at the drive in. She takes a liking in Two-Bit and gives him her number but Two-Bit thinks it was fake and tore it up. They shared a humour and a tast of irrational reflections.

We think that Marcia is an emotional character in the novel.
