ESSAY

Ponyboy and Greg live in a place where crime and poverty are very common.  Ponyboy is trying to get into a gang that his older brothers are in.  Greg has an ideal family nice house a full family.  Greg has a normal life so he thinks.   Even though Ponyboy and Greg are two different people they are very alike.

The first similarity I see between Ponyboy and Greg is that they both get bullied by their older brother Darry and Rodrick.  The only reason darry is mean to Ponyboy is because Darry loves him too much.  Darry is scared that if Ponyboy and Sodapop get into trouble they might go to jail then the family will be spilt up.  Rodrick is mean to Greg because is a slacker and low achiever and doesn’t won’t Greg to be successful in life and he’s just a jerk to Greg.

    Ponyboy and Greg both try to fit in with their pears.  Ponyboy is trying to fit into the gang greasers.  Ponyboy is the youngest in the gang so he gets treated like a kid.  Ponyboy dresses like a greasers and talks like a greaser.  Greg will try anything to join the cool kids.  Greg is trying so to be cool hard he doesn't care who he hurts along the way.  Greg even tried to change his friend into a cool kid.

    An other similarity i found that Ponyboy and Greg do things without thinking.  Ponyboy walked home from the movies with no protection and got beat up by the socs.  Greg was wearing his friends jacket and put kids in a hole and got his friend in trouble.  Ponyboy and Greg are two very different people and life's.  Ponyboy is from a When Greg was throwing  that football at his friend and his arm.  And when Greg and his friend went in to Greg's older brothers room

    Their and three good simulates that Ponyboy and Greg have.  So Ponyboy and Greg have allot of similarity's.  I think Ponyboy and Greg should  be themselves and then they will be popular.  Even though Ponyboy and Greg are different people they are very a like
