Ponyboy believes that being tough allows him to protect himself and stand up to bullies. He sees it as a way to assert his independence and strength in a challenging environment.
Ponyboy is attracted to Cherry physically and Cherry likes Ponyboy because he isn't rude like the other boys. Even though she is a Soc, she doesn't care about Ponyboy being a greaser, she cares more about him as a person.
Good looking, smaller for his age(14), long greasy hair, tough
Ponyboy is unlike most greasers. He likes to read, watch movies and he has never got into trouble by the Police. He has good grades and is the youngest of all greasers.
I think that Darry likes Ponyboy in some ways. He kinda thinks that Ponyboy is a good kid.

Ponyboy liked Two-Bits' (Keith) mother because she had the same good, humor and easygoing ways that he did.
A good award for Ponyboy is most likely to leave the Greasers
On his deathbed, Johnny tells Ponyboy to "stay gold."
He is usually being a good student at school, and is usually being a greaser at home with some of his other friends in his gang, causing trouble here, and there.
