Ponyboy Curtis

Ponyboy: He's a greaser. That means he belongs to the lower social class. He lives with his two brothers, Sodapop (Soda) and Darrel (Darry). Their parents died years ago. The three of them belong to their gang. Sodapop: the middle brother (17). He's incredibly handsome, like a movie star. He has a mischievous smile and is very funny. He gets along well with everyone in the gang. He always stands up for Pony and defends him against Darry when he yells at Pony. Darrel: He is the oldest brother (21). He took over responsibility for his brothers when their parents died. He is rather cold and doesn't often show real emotions. He is very strict with Pony, mainly because he is incredibly afraid of losing more people. He often yells at Pony when he is late, but he doesn't actually mean any harm. Johnny: a member of the gang, everyone kind of likes him. He's very quiet, similar to Ponyboy. His parents don't care what he does; he'd rather sleep outside or on Pony's sofa than go home. The story: (as in the book "The Outsider") Ponyboy was outside with Johnny in the evening; they talked and fell asleep. At 1:30 in the morning, Johnny woke Pony, and Pony went home. Darry and Soda were worried sick. Darry angrily demanded to know where Pony had been and yelled at him, telling him to think for once. Soda tried to defend Pony, but Darry yelled at Soda to be quiet. Pony became angry because no one was allowed to yell at Soda. Darry hit Pony hard. He had never hit him before...
