Sometimes Ponyboy doesn't think that Darry loves him at all because he is so hard on him. It's almost as if he thinks that Darry thinks Ponyboy is just a disgrace to the family. If you are a disgrace, you are.....

The most intelligent person in the world

In the exposition, Ponyboy tells us repeatedly, "I don't use my head." What can we infer that Pony knows?

Ponyboy knows that he shouldn't be walking alone because he could easily get jumped by the Socs.

Pony knows that he is smart, but he doesn't want the other members of the gang to know.

Ponyboy knows that he should listen to Darry about coming home on time, but he wants to enjoy his alone time.

Ponyboy knows that he is careless and reckless in the way that he is currently living his life with his brothers.

"So I stood there like a bump on a log while they surrounded me."--Ponyboy What is the purpose of the simile in the above quote?

the author compares Ponyboy to a bump on a log that doesn't move to show that he was frozen in fear

the author uses the simile to exaggerate the situation between Ponyboy and the Socs

the author directly compares Ponyboy to his surroundings to show that Ponyboy is fearless

the author uses the simile to prove that Ponyboy should not have been walking alone

"They walked around slowly, silently, smiling." What effect does the alliteration in the above sentence have in Chapter 1?

the same sound emphasizes the dramatic entrance of the Socs as they surround Ponyboy almost making the reader slow down and feel them circling around Pony

the comparison shows the Socs as being dangerous because they come quietly with smiles on their faces ready to hurt the Greasers

the same sound adds a dramatic effect that speeds up the action in the story and makes the reader wonder what is going to happen next

the alliteration exaggerates the situation with Ponyboy making it seem larger than life so the reader is just as afraid as he is

How are Steve and Soda's points of view different with regards to Ponyboy going out with them?

Steve sees Ponyboy has a tagalong/nuisance because the boys are older than he is, but Soda really loves Pony and doesn't see him as a kid, but more like a friend.

Steve and Soda both enjoy spending time with Pony, but Steve prefers that Pony hangs out with them all of the time. Soda, on the other hand, only likes to hang out with Ponyboy when he is with the gang.

Steve and Soda's points of view are not different. They both think that Ponyboy is too young to be hanging out with them.

Steve tries to encourage Ponyboy to go out with them when they can because Ponyboy is smart, but Soda thinks that Pony steals girls away from them so he prefers that he just stay at home.

Darry tells Ponyboy. "You don't ever think...not at home or anywhere when it counts." What can we infer about Darry from these words?

Darry is critical of Pony and strict because he feels pressured to make sure that he is okay, but Ponyboy doesn't make it easy sometimes

Darry is really mean and doesn't care about anyone but himself

Darry is very gentle and loving; he wants the best for both Soda and Ponyboy

Darry is incredibly intelligent and wishes that Ponyboy could be smart like him

"Need a haircut greaser?" Which sentence would NOT be part of a summary of the events surrounding this quote?

Ponyboy thought about he really liked movies, but nobody in the gang likes books and movies the way he does.

Ponyboy is walking home from the movie alone when a red Corvair approaches.

A group of Socs jumps out and attacks Ponyboy.

One of the Socs pulls out a knife, but Ponyboys greaser friends show up and rescue him.

To Darry, it is unfathomable why Ponyboy would be walking alone when he knows that the Socs are looking for Greasers to jump. Using context clues, what does the word unfathomable mean?

impossible to understand or comprehend

As the Socs surrounded Ponyboy, he winced in fear imagining the beating he was about to receive. Using context clues, what does the word winced most likely mean?

to tense up from pain or flinch
