is ponyboy like the rest of the gang, the greasers? how are ponyboy's goals different from those of the rest of the gang? should ponyboy really be a soc

I don't know.

no, he has a chance of becoming a soc, because of his intellagence and good grades, ponyboy goals are to read and stay out of fights with bottle and kives and will only attend rumbles when its a clean fight, no i couldnt imagen ponyboy being a spoiled greedy brat, with the personality he has.

Ponyboy is different from most of the other greasers he doesn't rob convenience stores and he doesn't carry weapons or get drunk he is an innocent child and that's only because he had parents who cared and a older brother who is stern and strict.
