In the story Outsiders a boy named Ponyboy is either going to stay with his brothers or go into a boys home. Did you know 10% of foster kids are abused by their foster parents or they run away. I think that this is why Ponyboy should stay with Darry because he have good grades,he is there for Ponyboy and he does not get in trouble with Darry. Ponyboy says through the hole book that he don't want to go to a boys home that he wants to stay with Darry and Sodapop. Ponyboy should stay with Darry because he wants to and he keeps him safe. Ponyboy is better off with Darry because children are better off with their real family and love and affection.
Ponyboy is better off with Darry because kids are better off with family. on pg 166 say Ponyboy Curtis

    Ponyboy Research Paper

    Ponyboy is at the risk of getting killed, arrested, and hurt while he is with Darry. Ponyboy should be put in the system because there he would have a less risk of getting jailed, lung cancer, fighting, and so much more. With Ponyboy going to the system he will have better health and he will have a lower chance of getting lung cancer. People would stay with Darry but that is not such a great idea. If he stays with him Ponyboy will be at bigger risk of getting jailed, getting in fights, and he won’t have as big of a chance of getting brain damage.…

    How Is Ponyboy Similar To The Outsiders

    I have read from page 1-66 of “The Secret Life of Bees” by Sue Monk Kidd. As I was reading, I was stunned about the similarity I found connecting this novel to “The Outsiders” by S.E Hinton. In “The Outsiders”, Ponyboy was having trouble at home with his older brother (who is basically his father since both of his parents died) Darry. After Darry slapped Ponyboy, Ponyboy had enough of the fighting between the two of them, so he decided to run away. He decided to take Johnny with him.…

    Why Do You Think Ponyboy Should Go To A Foster Home

    Even though most will disagree, Ponyboy belongs in a foster home. If he were to go to his previous home, he would return to being in a gang, smoking an unhealthy portion of cigarettes, and he would not have much of a chance at a good life. Living in a foster home would give him a chance to grow, and he can discover new things about himself. He will be in an environment void of most bad influences. Ponyboy belongs somewhere he can be influenced for the better.…

    Life Experiences In The Outsiders, By S. E. Hinton

    At first Ponyboy thinks the Socs have it made, but by the end of the novel, he too realizes that "things are rough all over". Not only does he find that different people have different problems, but little experiences can be the same for any other, such as the sunset. Once he views Cherri's and Randy's perspective without his own ideals clouding his judgment he is able to understand that the sides make no difference unless they are perceived that way. Ponyboy realizes Darry really did love and care for him and just yelled at him at times and nagged him because he didn't want him to get hurt. His fear of "losing another person he loved" (p.98) is what makes him so protective, and it's not that he has no feelings as Ponyboy originally believes, but too many.…
