The Outsiders Essay

In the thrill riding book “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton Ponyboy learns how the “Soc’s” really are; or at least some of them. Ponyboy in the story is a dynamic character.
Later in the book Randy talks to Ponyboy about how nothing will change if either of the groups win the rumble. You can tell that Ponyboy is a dynamic character from this because after he talks to Randy he tells Two-Bit that Randy isn’t a Soc he’s just a guy. Ponyboy realizes that the only thing different from Greaser’s and Soc’s is hair gel and thousands of dollars.
Another reason that Ponyboy is a dynamic character is because he changes his thoughts and feelings about Darry. In the beginning of the book Ponyboy explodes at Johnny saying how much Darry hates him. Later that night Pony and Darry get in a fight and Darry hits Pony because he stayed out to late. But later in the book he realizes that the only reason Darry hit him was because he was worrying about him and that he loves him.
I think it is a great thing that Ponyboy became a dynamic character because he changed in a good way.
