Ponyboy is very caring and generous and loves his brother Soda "I kept saving my money for a year, thinking that someday I could by Mickey Mouse back for Soda."
Ponyboy is very book smart by lacks common sense "...But I don't use my head."
Ponyboy is also very different from the rest of the Outsiders, he is not a violent kid. "Why do I fight? I thought, and I couldn't think of any real good reasons."
(hope this helps, The Outsiders was one of my favorite set books for English)
It played prologue and epilogue also giving background info.
Whats the phrase? I cant answer it if you don't say the quote lol
