answer:
Ponyboy really likes Cherry, and she too likes Ponyboy, and finds him a nice unexpected friend. Cherry tells Ponyboy she liked him from the start because of the way he talked and because he is a nice kid, which is a rarity, and she wanted to help him and the other greasers. Ponyboy asks her if she could see the sunset well from the West Side, and she confirms this as true.
Cherry and Ponyboy are essentially "soul-mates" throughout the novel. Although the two characters never become romantically involved, Ponyboy and Cherry share a close understanding of one another and see eye-to-eye on numerous topics.
explanation:
i remember reading the outsiders in 8th grade
btw the movie is so so different then the book
context:
Ponyboy his friends, Dally and Johnny meet Cherry and Marcia, a pair of Soc girls, at a drive-in movie theater. Ponyboy starts talking with Cherry, "emotionally connecting with a Soc for the first time in his life."
Ponyboy, Johnny, and Two-Bit walk Cherry and Marcia home, and they are stopped by Cherry's boyfriend Bob who badly beat up Johnny a few months back. Cherry prevents a fight happening by willingly leaving with Bob...
then yk Ponyboy gets beat up cause Dally hit him and he ran away in the middle of the night...
Cherry out of guilt acts as a spy for the greasers...
"Ponyboy visits Johnny at the hospital, where he is in critical condition. On their way home, Pony spots Cherry and they talk. Cherry says she is unwilling to visit Johnny in the hospital because he killed her boyfriend. Pony calls her a traitor, but after she explains herself they end on good terms. "
