S.E Hinton has several characters in her book ‘The Outsiders’. I will discuss the following characters: Ponyboy, Dally and Darry.
Ponyboy Curtis is a young innocent boy. He is still naïve. This is because Pony boy does not understand why his brother is so hard on him and why Darry has to work so hard.Ponyboy is a dreamer. This illustrated at the beginning of chapter 1 where he wishes he were tough and handsome like Paul Newman. Ponyboy is a shy boy. He likes to keep quiet and he talks to his friends Jonny and Cherry. They usually talk about sunsets and poetry.
Dallas Winston (Dally) is a mean person. He is meaner than the other gang members are. He is a criminal who does not take the law seriously. He thinks that the law is a joke. Dally is usually angry at the world.
Darrel Curtis (Darry) is Ponyboy’s eldest brother. He is tough and wants Ponyboy to be tough too. This is illustrated in chapter one where he yells at pony for not fighting back. Darry works hard. This is because the book says that he overworks himself. Darry is also caring. Being the eldest among his siblings, he protects and takes care of them.
Yesterday a rival gang killed the gang leader of Socs at the Fountain. This was after a fight ensued between the two groups. The rival gang call themselves the ‘Greasers.’ Bob is the deceased gang leader. A gang member from the rival group stabbed the deceased with a knife. Johnny (a member of the Greasers) killed Bob after he threatened to drown Ponyboy (also a member of the Greasers).
Bob was from a wealthy family. Bob wore rings on his fingers. He was the gang leader of the Socs (Socials). Cherry was Bob’s boyfriend. The police have speculated that Cherry could be the cause of the fight. However, the police are still investigating the matter.
Ponyboy and Jonny were walking in the park.This is when a blue Mustang pulled up. The Socs were in the car. They jumped out and went straight for Ponboy and Jonny. The boys tried acting tough. One of the Socs pushed Ponyboy to the fountain. Ponyboy tried fighting back but Bob was too strong for him. Ponyboy was drowning. Jonny had to do something. Jonny pulled out Knife and stabbed Bob. Bob fell down with a thud. He was dead.
When Ponyboy woke up, he found Jonny staring at Knife.The knife had blood. Jonny told Ponyboy that he had killed Bob. They decided to go and look for Dally. He would know what to do. They knew where to find Dally. He was at the Buck Merrill’s place. On their way they got stopped by the police. Jonny still had the Knife. The police arrested Phonyboy and Jonny. The police arraigned them in court. Johnny stated that it was self-defense.
Cherry testified for Jonny. She stated that Jonny and Ponyboy were good persons. The judge acquitted them of the murder charges. However, the judge stated, that the Greasers and the Socs were going to do community service together. The judge further stated that, the two gangs should stop Fighting. This whole experience changed Dally. He vowed to stop his criminal activities. Dally was employed at a good factory. Pony boy became friends with Randy.

Interviewer: Welcome to our breakfast show.
Cherry: Thank you.
Interviewer: Tell us why kids in schools form gangs.
Cherry: I think the problem emanates from the society.
Interviewer: Tell us more on this.
Cherry: There is something called social segregation. It starts with our parents and the adults. The rich people only socialize with the rich. Rich people leave out the poor. This passes to us children.
Interviewer: I understand you are from a wealthy family. So why did you help the Greasers?
Cherry: I believe the Greasers are good people.
Interviewer: Are you trying to say that the Socs are bad people?
Cherry: No, The Socs are equally good people.
Interviewer: so why did you then Help the Greasers? Does it look like you betrayed the Socs? Besides that, the Greasers killed your boyfriend!
Cherry: The two groups tore me. However, I felt that the Socs had been doing a great injustice to the Greasers. That is the reason I helped them. Further, the Socs are the ones who started these fights
Interviewer: It was a pleasure having you here.
Cherry: Thank you.
