One thing that is important that you need to know about Ponyboy Curtis is that he very serious. His parents died when he was 14-years old, eight months before the book was made. So he lives with his brothers Dary who is 20 and sodapop who is 16 years old.
My first piece of evidence is that, Ponyboy and Johnny, a greaser that is Ponyboy’s friend, escaped on a train to texas to escape from the fuzz, because they killed a soc, a soc is very rich and snotty club of teens. Anyways, Johnny was the one that killed the soc because, the soc was drowning Ponyboy in a fountain. Then they hopped on a train going to Texas so that they would not go to jail. This shows how Ponyboy is very serious, and in this situation, about the police.
