Ponyboy is naive. He doesn't always know how to act and is very quiet and shy because of it. He believes that it's important to be tough, especially the face that he's a Greasers .He tries to be tough to keep up the Greaser act. Ponyboy is amazing in school and is very intelligent, yet he's not that very smart in life. An example would be when he went to the movies alone and didn't call Darry or anyone from the gang to pick him up.This resulted in him getting beat up by the Socs.(pg.4-6).

This resulted to a big argument with him and Darry and he(Darry) had slapped Ponyboy across the face.
