<span>Soda is the middle child, and as the most amiable of the three, he often gets caught in-between Ponyboy and Darry when they clash. Ponyboy and Darry often argue, and when they do, they both want Soda to be on their side, forgetting that he has his own problems too. In Chapter 12, this is clearly illustrated when Darry confronts Ponyboy about his behavior since the deaths of their friends. Ponyboy retorts, "You'd like that, wouldn't you" You'd like me just to get out. Well, it's not that easy, is it, Soda?"

The answer is an appositive phrase. An appositive is an extra piece of detail or information describing in this case "lemon cake" and which the sentence still makes sense without. It still makes sense to say "<span>For my birthday, we baked a lemon cake." The "special treat" adds additional information about the "lemon cake."</span>
