Summary

In my book, there's is a kind name Pony Boy. He wants to look like Paul Newman because he looks tough. He has a second oldest brother name Soda, who is 16 going on 17. He has a oldest brother name Darrel. Pony Boy likes Soda more because he understand him better then Darrel. They get jumped by the Socs, they are the West-side rich kids. Soda, Darrel and Pony Boy are Greaser. That mains they are like hoods, they steal things, and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations, and have fight ice in a while.

His dad is alway beating him up and hid mom ignored him. Soda dropped out of school. Soda had a girlfriend, he want to marry her after Pony Boy is finish with school

Character Analysis 

Boy’s brother, Soda is not a bad kid. He sticks up for you younger brother Pony Boy. He does not want nothing to go wrong with him. Pony Boy really likes Soda because he have his back for everything. I know this because In the book on page 8 it states “Easy, Pony Boy, They ain’t gonna hurt you no more.” This proves that Soda haves Pony Boy’s back through thick and thin. Pony Boy does not really like his older brother Darrel because he is not a good brother to him. He does not support him. I know this because, on page 13 it says “If I brought home B’s he want A’s and if I got  A’s, he wanted to be sure they stayed A’s”. This proves that he does not support him. Darrel wants a lot from Pony Boy, but he does not deserve it.
