"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." Fi dom. Artistic, soft, and unique, Ponyboy has only a small group of people whom he trusts and (though he doesn’t support their morality) he adores them deeply. He doesn’t readily understand others, and as a result, can sometimes be a bit judgmental towards them. Even so, his opinions change over time, as he’s able to recognize the good in others. Though he initially despises the Socs, he eventually realizes that being wealthy doesn’t actually leave them exempt from everyday problems—they just have different problems than greasers do, they're still human. It takes him a lengthy amount of time to acknowledge that his older brother Darry actually loves him. He’s frequently redefining his ideas about right and wrong, and doesn’t rely on others for his moral compass. He rushes into a burning church to save others not because it is socially expected of him, but because he personally believes that it is the gallant, correct thing to do. Ponyboy feels alienated from the rest of the gang due to how unalike he is in comparison to them.
