The Outsiders

  Something that I learned from my character Ponyboy is he cares about other people in certain times.  Another thing that I learned from Ponyboy is at times he feels guilty for things he knows he didn't do.  How Ponyboy changed was before Johnny died he was regular he didn't have problems. But after Johhny died Ponyboy was no longer scared of things he was before. He also didn't care anymore about certain things but he still cared about being separated from Dary and Soda. After Dally died Ponyboy was shocked and didn't expect that to happen to a person like Dally. Something that I liked about my character is he when someone is going through a bad time Ponyboy tries to give them advice. When Ponyboy was talking to Cherry about Bobs death Ponyboy made her look at the situation In a positive way. Another thing that I like about Ponyboy is he is sort of the middle guy in the group. He has some traits from some people in the group for example at sometimes he can be serious like Darry and sometimes cool like two-bit.  


 A poem that I found that kinda relates to Ponyboy is called "Change" by Salini Nair

Change is a challenge
Change is a fear
Change is the change of mind
Change is a of attitude
Change is a way of life
Change is the change of recognized
Change is the change of mysterious
Change is the change to solitude

Change is the change to perfection
Change is the change to unknown ethics
Change is the change to supremacy
Change is the change of divinity
A change to know the real self
  

 This relates to Ponyboy because in the first couple of stanzas it says change is a challenge when Johnny dies  Ponyboy could not accept that it really happened. Change is mysterious that relates because when Johnny and Ponyboy were in the church they didn't know what was going to happen next so it was mysterious. In the 3rd line of the first stanza relates to Ponyboy because he realizes why Dary is so strict because he wants to keep the brothers together and not separated. Finally in the very last line in poem Ponyboy connects with himself and his three brothers that they aren't going to fight anymore with each other.
