Ponyboy-- "The Outsiders"

Author's Note: The purpose of this piece is to summarize the character Ponyboy in the book "The Outsiders" but also show my opinion. I would like feedback on if I showed enough opinion or if I didn't!

In the book "The Outsiders" Ponyboy is a 14 year old boy who lives with is two older brothers Darry and Sodapop because his parents died in an accident. He is very poor and is called a greaser because of it. He is very smart and stays in school unlike everyone else in his gang that dropped out including his brothers. After Darry hits Ponyboy and Johnny kills a soc Ponyboy realizes that Darry is so strict because he wants him to be successful unlike him and Sodapop. In my opinion Ponyboy is misjudged because he is poor and doesn't live on the West side by the smart people. Everyone thinks that because he is a greaser which I don't think it true because he is very smart and nice and never likes to get into fights or steal anything. He is a good kid and no one knows he is except for his gang!
