First person point of view enables the author to convey an intimate point of view to the reader. The reader gets to know the narrator very well. The reader can become emotionally invested in a single character. Ponyboy turns out to be a reliable and sympathetic narrator. People are drawn to ponyboy's sensitive nature.
