The point of view of The Outsiders

Ponyboy reflects on the tension between the Socials and the Greasers. He writes his English theme about his experiences in the gang.

The character who acts as a spy for the Greasers

While trying to protect Ponyboy from the Socials, Johnny stabs Bob and kills him. With Dally’s help, Johnny and Ponyboy run away to a church to hide out.

Ponyboy is THIS type of character because he undergoes an internal change throughout the novel.
