    The “Outsider” I am most like is Ponyboy Curtis because we both have many things in common, including being accused of lacking common sense, our school smarts, our physical age, fitness, and love of reading. For example, my mom often humorously quips about my lack of common sense, which I somewhat agree with, which is mirrored in the book when Ponyboy describes what people think of him on page 4. Also on page 4, it states Pony’s age to be 14, the same as my own. Ponyboy also does very well in school because of his brains and has a distinct fondness for reading, like me. Another trait we share is a knack for physical aerobic capacity, or the ability to run for a long time.…
