The Outsiders Characterization Project
Johnny:
"He is the youngest, next to Ponyboy, smaller than the rest, with a slight build. He has big black eyes, and a dark tanned face. He's hair is black, greasy and combed to the side, but because it was so long it fell in shaggy bang across his forehead." Johnny is a 16 year old boy and he’s like the centre
of affection. He’s the one that get's picked at the most, and has family problems.
He’s a very unstable person, always very shy and nervous.
“You can picture Johnny as a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers.” pg.11
“He was nervous, though, Johnny was always nervous around strangers.”
Sodapop:
He’s the handsomer than anyone else, more like a movie-star character. He always looks stunning and gorgeous, the type of boy all girls drawl over him. He has dark-gold hair and dark brown eyes.
Soda is very understanding and trustful, he doesn’t like to drink alcohol and that’s what makes him look cool I must say. He’s always very lively and reckless.
“He can get drunk in a drag race or dancing without even getting near alcohol. In our neighbourhood its rare to find a kid who doesn’t drink once a while. But Soda never touches a drop- he doesn’t need to. He gets drunk on just plain living” pg.8
Dallas:
"Dallas had high cheek bones, small sharp animal teeth, his eyes were blue, blazing ice and his hair fell over his forehead and kicked out in the back in tufts and curled behind his ears."
He is the real character of the gang, the strongest and toughest out of all of them, mean and colder. He had quite a reputation, had a file at the police station for doing tons of crimes, like cheating, stealing, jumping small kids, riding in rodeos, lying all that kind of stuff. But they had to respect him.
“I didn’t like him, but he was smart and you had to respect him”. pg.11
“He was tougher than the rest of us- tougher, colder, meaner” . pg.10
Darrel:
"He’s has dark-brown hair, he’s six-feet-two and muscular. He has pale blue-green ice eyes, his tough, cool, and smart. He looks a lot like his father."
Darrel is a smart guy, even though he doesn’t understand anything or anyone. He’s tough from the outside but very sensitive from the inside. He went through a lot of drama after he's parents died, taking charge of he's two little brothers while he was himself a young kid. He love's he's brother's!
“Darry is hard and firm and rarely grins at all. But then, Darry’s gone though a lot in his twenty years, grownup too fast”.
Ponyboy:
"He has greenish-gray eyes, and long, light brown greasy hair."
Ponyboy is a smart kid, cares about others and his an individual. He does things other would never do.
“If I brought home B’s, he wanted A’s and I got A’s, he wanted to make sure they stayed A’s. If I was playing football, I should be in studying. And if I was reading, I should be out playing football”. pg.13 So basically the quote is saying that everybody care's for him, and want him to succeed in he's life.

Greaser or Socs?
You have to be a socs, that’s where you belong! If you haven’t noticed,
socials are not just random people, they’re special, and different from everyone else. We are rich, which that means we can go to school and get educated, we normally drive around with expensive cars and wear expensive cloths, we’re much more civilized, and basically we have got a better life style, and we’re simply the best! You would be much happier if you come with us.
One of the most important reasons why you should come with us, we’re civilized. Who would want to hang out with friends which are violent and always get into fights, like greasers? They have no respect for anyone or anything. They go around stealing and killing people, and they think that this, makes them look cool. Sometimes though socials get into fights, but that’s because greasers have probably asked for it. You will feel more safe being around socials.
Another good reason about the socs, is that we come from really good and rich families. This way we can go to school and get educated, and once we grow up, to succeed. Also being rich is basically a much easier life for you. You don’t have to work to gain money, because of you’re economically wealthy. Unlike greasers, they’re poor and stinky, most of them don’t even go to school, so that means they don’t get educated and more likely to have a harder life, full of failures.
Do you like taking care of your self, and always look pretty? Am sure you do, and that’s was every other socs likes to do sometimes! Looking like a piece of trash, is not where you belong, that’s the Greasers, smelly and ugly.. I would not want to have a friend that smells, and am sure you don’t either. We’re rich kids!
I hope what I have mentioned about the socs will make you understand who
we really are as people, and how much fun you will be having if you come with us! Remember, greasers is not where you belong, you deserve a lot better than those smelly rats!
