Characters:
The main character in the story is Ponyboy Curtis, who’s fourteen. He has brown, almost red hair and greenish eyes. He’s smart and is always getting good grades. However, he never uses his head outside school that’s why he keeps getting in trouble.

Point of view:

He tells the story in a way that makes the reader able to see the changes that Ponyboy is going through, and how the things that are happening around him is helping him become more mature. But the most important lesson that we learn from reading this novel from Pony’s perspective is that life is not fair. From witnessing the death of his friends, to losing his parents, and the economic conditions that cast them as greasers, life is not fair to Ponyboy
