Two examples of Ponnyboy's thoughts can be seen in the excerpts:

- "I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me."
Explanation:
"The Outsiders" is a book that portrays the lives of young people involved in street gangs, showing the violent and inhospitable environment in which they live, as well as portraying the problems of social inequality.
Ponnyboy is the protagonist and narrator of the book and for this reason, we have access to many of his thoughts, about the situations in which he is living and about the doubts he has about this kind of life. Ponnyboy can't recognize himself within the environment he lives in, he finds himself out of place in this world and without personality, we can see this through the excerpt "I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me," where he is confused about yourself.
In another moment, we can see Ponnyboy reflecting on the death of two of his friends, Dally and Jhonny. For Ponnyboy, Dally's death was insignificant, reckless and without reason, but Jhonny's death made him great, since he died to save children, he died a hero. These thoughts can be seen in the excerpt: "Dally didn't die a hero. He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday…But Johnny was right. He died gallant."
