Ponyboy-Who is he?-Nerhu

Ponyboy is a 14 year old kid who is in the middle of a gang war. He lost his parents in an accident and he lives with his 2 brothers, Darry and Soda. Darry works at a roofing store while Soda works at a gas station to pay the house bills and such. Pony is very friendly but he likes being alone and can lose track of time which gets his brothers angry at him. He is very fit for a boy his age and made his track team. Pony likes to watch movies alone and he likes his long, greasy hair, which is a trademark of his gang. Pony is not like any of his brothers he is in the middle. His oldest brother Darry is very serious and angry all the time. Soda is very funny and he makes everyone laugh. He is the centre of attention every time. Pony has very good marks at his school. He thinks that he will join Soda and work after he finishes high school. Darry wants Pony to go to college. In the beginning Pony thinks that Darry wants to get rid of Pony. Near the end, Pony comes to know how much Darry cares about him.  Pony and Johnny are very good friends.  One day when Pony was being beaten by the Socs, Johnny stepped in and help Pony by accidently killing of one the Socs.  Afterwhich, Pony and Johnny run away and hide together for a week during which time their friendship grows even more. Pony and Two-bit are good friends and Pony likes Two-bit because he makes every normal thing seem funny. Pony does not like Steve much because he is under the impression that Steve doesn't like him hanging around Soda. Pony thinks that Dally is the only real gang member in their gang. He is very cold and does not have any compassion. Cherry is the only one who Pony could express his feeling as she understands him better and responds with true concern.  Ponyboy thought that it was weird when she said she might fall in love with Dally if she ever saw him again.   Pony did not think that the Socs had any problems until  Cherry clearly explained the issues they had and he realised that there were problems everywhere and that they were all the same. Pony heard Johnny say that he should stay gold so Pony would stay good and not become bad. Pony was able to look from the perspective of the Socs and that helped him realise that all of them were equal and that they all had problems.
