Of the greaser gang, I relate most to Ponyboy Curtis. I relate to Ponyboy the most, because he is very smart. In the book, he tells the reader about how he brings home good grades, and has a very high IQ. I can relate to this, because I also am a good student; I bring home good grades, I try my hardest, and I never give up. Another reason as to why I am most like Ponyboy Curtis is because he is very laid back and home oriented. He loves spending time with Darry and Sodapop doing leisure activities, like going to the movies, and hanging out with the gang. I am also very family anchored, and believe that it is important to spend time doing the things you love with those you appreciate. I know from the book that Ponyboy isn’t very bold, and stand-offish, like Dallas Winston, as he prefers to think things through, before acting on them.I am also like this, in the sense that I like to devise a plan before I decide what I want to do to take action. That is why I am most like Ponyboy Curtis out of the all the members of the greaser gang.

In the whole greaser gang I think I relate to Ponyboy the most because like him I am intelligent, not scared of big bully Socs and stick up for my friends. In The Outsiders Pony is the only one in the gang that goes to school and he also gets good grades, Darry acts like Pony’s father just like my father would be on top of me if I didn’t get my homework done. Also he walks home by himself which is a risk because the Socs are always around ready to pounce on some greaser. He also sticks up for his friends like with Johnny when at the end he said I killed Bob not Johnny, I killed Bob not Johnny. I am like Pony with the bullying part because I am not scared if some 10th grader or a kid bigger than me comes up and tries to pick a fight with me, I always wait until he throws the first punch then I attack (not saying I have ever got into a fight because I haven’t). I am also like Pony about the sticking up for my friends because if someone ever picked on my friend or a little kid I would stick up for him even if I didn’t know him because that is the right thing to do.

From the novel The Outsiders, I think I am a mix of Ponyboy and Sodapop. I am like Pony because I am sensitive like he is and I like to write creatively. I am a thinker and I HATE violence! Like Pony says when he had the broken bottle from Two-Bit, Ponyboy told Cherry that he couldn’t cut anyone. I think because I sometimes come up with random questions when I think for a while and it helps me remember things. I am like Sodapop because I really like to goof around. ALOT! Any chance I can get, I will fool around with my friends, wisecrack my dad, or make inside jokes with my sister. I wouldn’t be like Dally because I don’t want to break laws or anything like that. I won’t be like Darry because I’m anything but strict and I can’t be Two-Bit because I can be quiet when I want to, unlike how he talks his mouth off the the cops. Finally, I can’t be Johnny because I’m not scared of things like he is. That is why I am a mix of Ponyboy and Sodapop.

I think that I am most like Two-Bit.He's loud and makes a lot of jokes and I do the same. I asked my friend and she said I was the most like Two-Bit and I agreed. Two-Bit is also sometimes serious but not so serious and he jokes around a lot. He also likes Mickey and I love Mickey and Minnie! Overall, if I was in "The Outsiders" movie I would be most like Two-Bit.

The character that I can relate to the most is Ponyboy. I can relate to Ponyboy the most because he enjoys to watching movies and reading books. Even though my family enjoys watching movies, I’m the one who watches the most because most of the book I read have movies to them. I am the only one that enjoys reading on paper book in my family like Ponyboy does. Most of my family likes to read off of their phones. I can relate to Ponyboy also because he has 2 older siblings like I do. Even though my sisters and I fight sometimes we always love each other and have eachothers back. Like Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry have eachothers back. I can also relate to Ponyboy because he likes/does well in school, like I do. This is why I thought I relate to Ponyboy the most out of the gang members.

In the book the Outsiders I most relate to the character Ponyboy. The reason I say this is because he runs track and also gets pretty good grades in school. I also will do track and I get pretty good grades. In the book, Ponyboy had to chase Sodapop because Sodapop ran off when Ponyboy and Darry were fighting. This connects to me because if I was placed in the same situation I would chase after the person that is hurt and try to calm them down. Another example of how me and Ponyboy connect is how he saved 3 kids when a church was burning down. Ponyboy ran into the church willing to risk his life for the three kids. This relates to me because I would also run into a burning church and try to save the kids. In my life I do things that help people all the time. For example, I always hold the door for people and when someone in class gets stuck on a problem I help them.These are some of the reasons why I most relate to the character Ponyboy. We both do things that help other people.

The Outsider that relates most to me is probably Ponyboy. Although mostly I don't have things in common with the others. I don't plan on dropping out like Soda, I am not anything like Darry, unlike Johnny my parents aren't mean, I have no interest in cars like Steve, I don't have a past like Dally's. Two-Bit doesn't fit the picture. Pony is the only character I sort of have something. I don't feel like I am similar to any character, but Ponyboy is closest. I don't like to fight, and I like to read and watch movies. That is all the similarities I can think of. I don’t ever go out at night unlike everyone in the book. I haven’t lost anyone, ever. I am never bullied or jumped. I have never seen a real fight, (only in the movies). More differences pop up than similarities. I am not an Outsider.

I feel like the character from the greaser gang I can relate most to is Two-bit. Like Two-bit I love to joke around, make situations lighter, and I’m always up to make a joke. I’m described as fun and playful just like Two-bit is. Another thing I can relate to with Two-bit is my love for Mickey Mouse, but, I just love anything Disney in general, but still. Two-bit is considered a little lazy to his friends especially because he doesn’t have a job. I could also be considered a little lazy, I’m not proud of it, but I’ve been told by more than a few people that I am lazy, oops. Two-bit is a little mischievous with his shoplifting and all. I’ve never done something like that but I definitely mischievous. For those reasons I believe I relate to Two-bit Matthews the most in the greaser gang from The Outsiders.

When it comes to what Outsider I am I think I can most relate to Sodapop. In the book Soda is mostly relaxed and just hanging in the back round and I feel like I am like that a lot. When something is going on I’m not one to get involved. At the end of the book when Soda tells Darry and Ponyboy that he feels like it is just tug of war, sometimes school will feel like that for me. At school there is so much drama that is going on. People around you will tell rumors and the tug of war there is people saying everything to you. You either not believing them agreeing or spreading it, sometimes we have to be the bigger person and not spread stupid rumors about people that you know aren’t true. All the other Outside characters are all different and relate to a different person that is not me.

The greaser I think that I relate to the most is Ponyboy. Sometimes, I feel pressured to get good grades, like Darry pressures Ponyboy to do well in school sometimes. Also, I feel like I can relate to when Ponyboy has his hair cut because when I was younger, I had super long hair, like Ponyboy, and I had it chopped up to my chin, and it felt like a part of me was missing, like Ponyboy feels when Johnny forces him to cut his hair. Eventually, I got used to it and liked it. Another example is that like my friends, the greasers are there for Ponyboy when he needs them, and will fight for them. Also, Ponyboy loves to read and so do I, I could get lost in a book and not notice anyone else for hours. In conclusion, even though we are two very different people, Ponyboy is the greaser I can relate the most to, and was one of my favorite characters in the Outsiders.

In the realistic fiction novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I most relate to Dally Winston. Dally is “cocky” and doesn't know when to stop. Dally and I both like to have a ton of fun our own way and hate to be told what to do. We both grew up in “New York”. We can both be helpful too, like when Johnny killed Bob and Dally gave him fifty dollars and a fully loaded gun. Plus he literally gave Ponyboy “ the coat of his back”. Dally and I always have a some spare change “to help a little buddy out”. We both like tuff cars, sports, fights, and girls, and we both have a point where we “explode”. Dally’s breaking point was the minute Johnny Cade died, he decided that he had had enough and robbed a convenience store the pulled out an empty gun so that the cops would shoot him. Those are a few reasons why dally and I are the most alike.

I am most like Ponyboy from The Outsiders. One example of how we’re similar is that, like how Ponyboy doesn’t really like fights even though everyone around him does, I usually don’t like competitions, unlike most of my peers. Another similarity we have is that we both enjoy reading. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy finds happiness in reading Gone With the Wind, even when he is hiding out in the church on Jay Mountain. Also, when he is imagining what would make him truly happy, he thinks of himself in the country, reading a book. I also find that even when my life is hard, a book can help me feel better. In addition to just liking novels, we both take great pleasure in reading poetry. Ponyboy remembers the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” when he is watching the sunset, which makes me infer that he has read and enjoyed poetry enough to remember a poem like that. I also love to read poetry, including a book of poems called Ode to Common Things, and have memorized two poems: “Hope is the Thing With Feathers” and “Nothing Gold Can Stay”. We also both love nature and all of its beauties. Pony enjoys watching the sunset from the top of Jay Mountain, as I have done many times from the top of my street. I can relate to Ponyboy from The Outsiders more than any other character.

The member of the greaser gang I feel that I am most like is Sodapop Curtis. One example of this is that we can both be serious at times but still have fun too. In the book, Ponyboy stated that Soda could have fun anywhere he went. Also, in the movie, Soda had lots of fun with Steve and the other guys, but showed that he could be thoughtful of other things, especially at the end of the movie. I can relate to this because I know when I need to get something done, such as homework, but I still make time to do other things like hanging out with friends. Another way that we are alike is that we are both hard working. Sodapop dropped out of school to work at the gas station just to help his family. I also set aside some things I want to do, like playing video games, to do my homework and get good grades. Those are some of the reasons why I am most like Sodapop.

The member of the Greaser Gang that I relate to the most would have to be Dally Winston. Personally I’m not as ruthless of rebellious as him but, a big thing we have in common is that we keep a facade of our true selves. Dally is a tough and reckless kid but when you see how he reacted to Johnny’s death it becomes clear that he really does have a heart and can be “soft” when necessary. The same goes for me. I’m usually quiet in class and during school when someone hurts me I try and keep it to myself. I don’t react the way I’d want to. But, in reality I always find a way to straighten things over which is a gift and a punishment. Another thing me and Dally have in common is that even though we might not always show it often, living without the ones we care about would be unbearable. Now don’t get my wrong, it’s not like I’d get myself killed just because I’m upset but, having gone through certain experiences everytime I lose someone I seem to change. I have similar character traits to other members of the greaser gang but, the character that stands out to me the most would be good old Dally Winston.

I think that in the realistic fiction book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton I think I am most like Ponyboy. One way I am similar to Ponyboy family wise. Ponyboy is the the youngest and he has two older siblings, Darry and Sodapop. I am also the youngest of 2 siblings, the oldest one is Hannah and the second oldest is Chloe. Chloe and I are very close just like Ponyboy and Soda. Chloe is very funny and easy going like Soda and we get along very well. Hannah and I really aren’t that similar. Hannah is very serious most of the time and is a very hard worker just like Darry. Hannah and I usually don’t get along well and argue a lot, like Ponyboy and Darry. But as we have gotten older we have become closer and we don’t fight as much. Near the middle and the end of the book Pony and Darry become closer too. There are many other ways Ponyboy and I are relatable, I decided to just say this one.

In The Outsiders, I relate to Sodapop the most. Sodapop is the live-in-the-moment, amusing kind of guy, and I am like that too. I also am very protective and caring towards my family, and Sodapop is like that with Ponyboy. In the movie and the book, Soda and Ponyboy have a special relationship and lean on each other when they need help or advice. In the book, Ponyboy says that Sodapop is always there for him and never judges him. I am also like that with my friends, I feel there is no good reason to judge someone on what they tell you because they are choosing to trust you with that. For instance, Ponyboy tells Soda that he loves to read, write, and look at the sunsets. But when he tells Darry, Darry isn’t really supportive of him and doesn’t except it. I think I relate most to Sodapop for many different reasons.

In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I personally relate to Sodapop the most. I have two brothers, and I could have picked Darry or Pony because they also have to brothers but Sodapop is almost exactly like me, just ask my family. I love both my brothers so much and would do anything to make them happy or keep them safe just like Soda would for Darry or Pony. When my brothers get into quarles I absolutely hate it and I always stick up for both of them and always try to make them forgive each other, exactly like Soda does. However, one thing that is different about Soda and I is that I am not the charming handsome child that would be my brother, but I do remind myself a lot of him also because Soda had a breaking point in the book and movie, and I do too. If something really bothers me I hold it in till I explode, as did Soda. Soda also didn’t tell his brothers his problems because they were going through a hard time. Even though I tell my brothers almost everything, when it comes to friends I am usually the listener. I like to help with problems not throw mine on others. So out of all the characters from The Outsiders I can relate to Sodapop Curtis the most.

I can relate most to Ponyboy. For example, we both love to read and watch movies. In the beginning of the book, Ponyboy was coming out of the movie theater and telling the readers that he's the only one in the gang that enjoys movies. Also he always wanted the book Gone with the Wind in the novel. Another example is, we both have two older sisters that show their love in different ways. In the book, Sodapop shows his love to Ponyboy by fooling around with him and sharing a bed because of his night terrors. This is the same way my sister shows here love for me. Darry shows his love to Ponyboy in a more tough loving way by making sure he does his homework and making sure he's home in a reasonable time. My other sister shows her love to me in a similar way. These are just a few reasons why I can relate to Ponyboy from The Outsiders.

The person in the Greaser gang I can most relate to is Ponyboy because he enjoys school and is pretty good at it, sort of like me. Before the incident happened he was making pretty good grades and right now I’m making decent grades too. Another reason why I can relate to him is because sometimes I can feel unmotivated to do things for school such as homework but I do them eventually either because of a burst of inspiration or just knowing I have to. In The Outsiders, because of a burst of inspiration, Ponyboy does his theme at the end of the book. Another example of how I can relate to Ponyboy is how I have a name that people ask if it’s my real name just like Ponyboy’s name. People think my name is short for Madeline and other names and for Ponyboy they just think it’s a nickname. One final reason why I am like Ponyboy is that I have two brothers. They’re not exactly like Sodapop and Darry but they do have a few similarities. Like Sodapop, my brothers are people I can talk to and have fun with. Like Darry, my brothers want the best for me even if they don’t say it very often (at least I hope they do).

I think that out of the greaser gang, I relate to Ponyboy the most. I think this because Ponyboy is somewhat selfless. He cares very deeply his Friends, family, and other people. For example Ponyboy runs into the burning church to save some kids. That example also shows how brave he is for doing this. I would say that I also care about people and how they are feeling. Also I think that I am somewhat brave because of the sport I do, gymnastics. Ponyboy is intelligent and enjoys school most of the time. Also I would say school is fun most of the time. Ponyboy also sometimes sees thing differently than the other members of the group. For example, he loves sunsets and sees sunsets for something else than what they are. Also, sometimes I see something differently than my friends or family. It might mean something more to me then to them.

Out of all of the Outsider greasers, I think I relate most to Sodapop. I think this because in the story Soda was the fun, but serious when it matters. He is always getting stuck in the middle of things, just like me since I am the middle child just like him. In the book he has a great big charming smile, I am the same, people say that when I walk into a room with a smile it brightens there day. I’ve always used my smile to cheer people up and that’s what Soda does in the story. He is the person in the gang who cheers everyone up, just like me. I truly believe that I relate to Sodapop the most.

I can most relate to Sodapop from The Outsiders because, I am always happy, smiling, and I love to laugh. Like soda i like to find the best things in like and make the most of them, and i keep my head up through the bad. In the novel sods remains upbeat and positive despite his brothers constant quarrels and finds it difficult to take sides, I usually do the same when my friends or siblings are in a fight. I can definitely most relate to Soda from The Outsiders.

I think I am most like Sodapop and Darry combined because I love life, i’m always smiling and making jokes. I’m like Darry because I’m very overprotective of my close friends. For example, most of them call me Mom. You can ask any of them. Darry is very protective of Ponyboy and is always making sure he is safe. If anything happens to my friends or one of them isn’t at school I am always the first one to text them and ask what is going. I am like Sodapop because I am very understanding and I love life and enjoy it to the fullest. In the book it says Soda gets drunk on just plain living. That is why I am like Sodapop and Darry.

I feel like I am most like Darry. Darry is not only me but he is my favorite character in The Outsiders. He is my favorite character because I can relate to him more than any other character in the book. In the book, Darry has to take the roll of his parents because they died in a crash. He now has to take care of his brothers Ponyboy and Sodapop. He is very protective and works very hard for his family. This relates to me because I am very protective of my siblings, especially my younger brother Braeden. I just want to be a role model for him and make sure that he feels protective and safe. As you can see, I am most like Darry from The Outsiders.

The greaser I relate to most is Steve Randle. I relate to him the most because he loves to work with cars and creating things and I like to build things with my grandpa. Steve is tall and lean kind of like me. He likes his hair long but not to long and doesn’t like getting it cut. I hate it when I have to get a haircut. Some of my friends have siblings that get annoying so I can relate to why Steve doesn't like Ponyboy tagging along. I think Steve is smart. Some people don't think Steve is because he’s a greaser and you can’t tell because they don't feature him too much. All in all I relate to Steve Randle the most, and he is also pretty cool because Tom Cruise plays him in the movie but that’s a different story.

I relate to Ponyboy the most out of the whole gang. Just like Ponyboy I feel things more than my friends. For example when something dramatic happens I feel more anger or sadness then my friends. At least I show it more. Also he remembers the little things about a lot of different events that maybe Johnny or Darry wouldn’t remember. For example he remembered the sweet smell of the country and I remember things like the way the water looked at our cape cod house and the way the air smelled. I also have a hard time fitting in sometimes and Ponyboy says he’s not like the rest of the gang and he will never be as strong or tuff as Dally or Darry. Lastly he can make people laugh at the saddest times like me. I live for people I can make smile or laugh it’s the energy I run on and it makes me very happy.

The Outsider that I can relate the most to would be Ponyboy Curtis. I can relate to Ponyboy because he overthinks everything he does, but at the same time, doesn’t think at all. He also appreciates the small things in life, such as the sunsets, and also pays attention to detail, much like me, but only sometimes. Another way I can relate to Ponyboy is that he reacts to change in some cases very well, such as the move to Jay Mountain, and in some other cases, not so well, such as the time Darry slapped him. An example of me reacting well to change was in 5th grade when I had to assimilate into the school and its system. An example of me reacting badly to change was when I received a B+ in math in 5th grade, because I always thought that I was exceptionally good at math. In conclusion, I can relate to Ponyboy in a number of ways not limited to the ones listed here.

In the realistic fiction novel The Outsiders, by S.E. hinton the person from the Greaser Gang that I can relate to most is Darry. I can relate to Darry the most because both of us are the eldest child in our families, and try hard to protect our younger siblings. For example, in The Outsiders Darry is always hard on Ponyboy because he wants Ponyboy to graduate from high school, and be a successful person. Ponyboy often misinterprets Darry’s hardness as Darry hating Ponyboy, even though Darry is just trying to help. I can relate to this because I too, have younger siblings like Ponyboy who I’m also tough on, and they too, sometimes misinterpret my toughness, which ultimately leads to conflict, like when Ponyboy ran away from home. In conclusion, the person from the Greaser Gang that I can relate to the most, is Darry because we both try to protect our younger siblings.

Out of all of the greasers in the gang I think I’m most like Darry because I might come off as a little mean to my siblings but that’s just because I love them and want the best and don’t want them to end up living in our parents basement. At times I also like to think I’m tough because I try not to have a lot of things get to me and my parent s are a lot harder on more than any other of my siblings cause they know I can handle it and won’t crumble. Also I kinda keep the younger kids in check.

I can most relate to Sodapop because he is a hardworking, athletic, happy go lucky guy who wants to make everyone around him smile. He is also very sensitive and listens to Ponyboy talk about sunsets and poetry. Like me Sodapop has a very interchanging personality. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy says that Sodapop understands everybody and can get drunk on plain living. His personality can change in an instant from happy go lucky to serious and sensative. For example on page 176, it says "We're all we got left now. If we don't have each other, then we ain't got nothing. My personality is also very flexible like Soda's and can changge in an instant wether it be to happiness, anger, sadness,or understanding.

I am most similar to Two-Bit Matthews, because I always make lots of jokes, especially in school with my friends. At lunch, I always sit with the same group of friends, and Ryan and I usually make the most jokes, because it’s funny. Like Two-Bit, I also enjoy pranks and practical jokes. Once, in one of my YouTube VLOGS, I pranked my mom by filling about 10 Oreos with toothpaste and taking out the cream, and then I gave her one, and she ate it. She wasn’t very mad though, because she is fun. I also make lots of jokes on the bus with one of my friends named Aiden, and I also show him funny memes. I think that if the story took place in 2018, Two-Bit would’ve also liked memes, and other funny things on the internet. I also like to watch pranks on YouTube, and I enjoy seeing reactions to them. If I could only pick one Outsider to be most alike, I’d say I’m most similar to Two-Bit.

Out of the plethora of characters in The Outsiders, I feel like I relate to Two-Bit the most. I think this because in my family I'm the funniest and can’t be taken seriously. Two-Bit is also like me because he can’t be taken seriously and is the funniest of the greaser gang. One thing that shows this is whenever I get in trouble, I can be funny and make that person laugh and I get in less trouble (it’s very complicated). In the book Two-Bit also can’t be taken seriously because he watches Mickey Mouse and always is making stupid jokes. All my family members that live in my house would say I’m the funniest and most irresponsible and the gang said Two-Bit was the jokester and comedian of the gang. Overall I feel that I relate to Two-Bit the most and we share the same type of humorous personality.

If I had to say that I was like one of the characters from outsiders, I would say Two-Bit Mathews for various reasons.Reason number one would be that I am a big talker.I like to talk and I do it a lot,especially during times im not supposed to but i’m working on it.Reason number two is I am a jokester.I’m always cracking jokes.I like to make people laugh but sometimes people have a different reaction.Two-Bit has this unique feature that makes him,him.He might seem like a jerk but he’s actually caring.He makes the gang feel like his family and he’s the dad, considering he’s the oldest one at eighteen years of age.Me and Two-Bit have some similarities in a physical features too.I lately have been growing sideburns due to the occurrence of puberty.I have long slicked back hair like him too.If had to be any of the characters, there would be no doubt i’d be Two-Bit.

I am most like the Outsiders gang character Sodapop. I am most like him for various different reasons. One of those reasons is because I am always smiling or joking around. In Sodapops’ life he is also always smiling. He also never takes like seriously which I don’t either (which I serious;y should start soon, it would be helpful in some situations). Sodapop also helps out his friends a lot. He is the one they go to if they need to get something of their chest. Some of my friends also do this with me if they got in a fight or something like that situation. I could also be like Two-Bit sometimes. This is because I am always laughing and making jokes of things, or making other people laugh. I may not have a switchblade like them, but I can act like them sometimes because of how wild i can be sometimes. So in the end I act most like Sodapop or Two-Bit.

The character that I am most like in The Outsiders is Ponyboy. One way Ponyboy and I are alike is because we are both empathic. In the book, Ponyboy is empathic for talking to Cherry. Although Cherry is a Soc and Pony is a greaser, Pony spends his evening talking with Cherry. He is able to listen to her instead of pushing it aside and not caring at all. He starts to understand that her problems are as real and as painful as his problems. This is like me because I am also empathetic. I am able to understand other people's feelings even when I am the complete opposite of them. For example, when someone I know is excited I am able to easily share that excitement with them. Another way Ponyboy and I are alike is that we are both Passive. Pony is the most Passive of the Greasers, preferring to talk about life and dreams rather fighting or showing off. I am also passive like Ponyboy liking fighting for only self defense.

The person I most relate to is Ponyboy because he likes to read. also I can connect because he has a person in his life who is like a father to him, but for me its my dad not my brother. Anther thing is that we both lost someone close to us. we are both kids around the same age. we both have hair, eyes, and stomach. some things we do that are similar are hanging out with friends,going to school, walking, do running sports like track and cross country. These are some of the reasons I think i'm like Ponyboy.

I am most like Dally because i am reckless and brave. I am not afraid to get into a little bit of trouble. At the same time as Dally I don’t show my emotions. In the book Dally shows his emotions at the end when Johnny dies. He also shows his emotions at the end when he leaves the hospital. Another similarity that me and dally have is our personality Dally is known for his tough background. In the book the author brings up how dally visited new york city, and how he enjoyed the rumbles and fights. I am known for my sarcastic tone and how many people I loathe. People tell me that I speak my mind and that I act like Dally.

I believe that I am most like Soda or Ponyboy because I also have two brothers and we are always fighting but deep down we all love each other. I used to think when I was younger that My older brother was so mean and didn’t care about me but now I know that he really loves me and my little brother.My older brother is also always being a role model for my little brother Josh. While on the topic of Josh I, like Soda I am always trying to encourage him with studying and school work. I also am like Soda because I am always being positive an I am always laughing.I always try to make the best out a situation.

If I had to be one of the character in the greaser gang that most relates to me is Ponyboy, because just like him he has different feeling than everyone else and his brother Darry. Which happen in the book when Darry is mad and worried at ponyboy for being out late wondering where he was all night. Also me and ponyboy both know a basic explanation of what is good and what is bad even if we know it in are heart that it is. This happen in the book when Ponyboy and Johnny are on the run and decide to go back and tell the police and find there are kids missing from the group of kids screaming in the burning vacant church.Trying to save to lost kids stuck in a room in a fire ready to clapes right on them.So they end up saving all the kids knowing they might not make it out alive or getting hurt.But sadly Johnny know he going to get hurt and make out the fire but deadly injured.But Johhny know he saved the kids and Ponyboy alive and safe.

I would say I’m the most like Ponyboy. I have a habit of letting my imagination run wild and I really tend to overthink everything. I love to read, write, watch movies and listen to music just like Pony. Sometimes, I begin to let myself think that I annoy some of my friends and maybe they just don’t care about me like I care about them. But at the end of the day, everyone can just get a bit stressed out sometimes. I know that my friends care about me, like Darrel cares about Pony. I can also relate to him because I’m a girl and I have two older sisters. Ponyboy is a boy and has two older brothers. We’re both much closer to the middle child, and the oldest is closer to them as well, although sometimes we have to hang up on them for being too uptight. My parents haven’t passed away, but they’re almost never home so we take care of ourselves for the most part. I can really see myself having many similarities with Ponyboy.

I think the outsider that I relate the most to is Ponyboy Curtis. Both him and I like to spend long hours reading and/or watching movies. I have never read Gone With the Wind and don’t usually read poetry, I tend to lean towards Stephen King and in some instances sci-fi stories like Legend and/or The Hunger Games but still reading nonetheless. I also like running and am decently good at it whereas Ponyboy like running but is quite good it. In the spring I will try out for the track team like Ponyboy who already is on a track team. Lastly I like my hair long like Ponyboy and hate getting it cut, while I don’t like putting grease (or anything else really) in my hair I still like wearing it long and wouldn’t bleach it if it would save my life. In conclusion I feel like I relate best to Ponyboy Curtis for all the reasons above.

I am most like Sodapop because I am usually always upbeat and happy(except for books). Soda is always cheering people up, so am I. Sodapop is caring and I am too (according to Grace Lore) Soda tries to cheer Pony up when he is sad or when he gets nightmares instead of saying he could do it on his own. If I am doing homework and one of my friends needs help, I will put down what I'm doing and help them. Also one time one of my friends was feeling light headed and dizzy. They didn't know what to do so I told them to get water and some fresh air. She said she felt better after that and thanked me for helping her. Soda is also caught in bad situations. He is caught in the middle of Darry and ponyboy’s fight. I sometimes get caught in the middle of my friends fighting and they try to make me chose.

In the realistic fiction book by S.E Hinton, I believe I fit the role of Johnny Cade. I believe I fit the role of Johnny Cade because I have done many “heroic” things in my life such as taking the blame for something that my friends did so they wouldn’t get in trouble. Johnny and I also have some similarities like having somewhat long hair (as a boy) and we both help our friends out whenever they need it… Johnny Cade is a very brave kid and I am too, if one of my friends was getting hurt or in danger i will do whatever i need to do get them out.
