Ponyboy Curtis

I thought that for my next few blogs, I would introduce you guys to the boys, so that the people who have never read The Outsiders could get a better gist of the book. This week, I'm going to introduce you to Ponyboy Curtis,who is 14 and the youngest of the Curtis brothers. Even though Pony does exceptionally well in school, he lacks street smart, which gets him into trouble that could have well been avoided. Leading towards the end of the book, Pony matures with dealing with the death of two of his closest friends and getting enough experience so that he could take care of himself in the streets all alone. He's not necessarily like the other boys in the gang. Ponyboy is more of a dreamer that focuses more on movies,books,and sunsets rather than beating other people up. Ponyboy Curtis has long and greased brown, almost red hair (which becomes blonde at the end of the book), and "greenish-grey eyes." That's it for this week.
