Ponyboy and Greg essay.

Pony boy and Greg are two different people. Pony boy comes from a place where poverty and crime are very common. Greg comes from a cookie cutter family where his parents love him dearly. Greg and pony boy are the same in some ways. Pony boy and Greg both don’t have friends. Pony boy and Greg like to draw and read and they both have high I.Q. They are the same bye they are kids and they want to be cool like everyone else. They look up to people and want to be famous when they grow up. Greg and Pony boy are different people they share some similarities.
 Pony boy and Greg both will try anything to fit in.Pony boy becomes a greaser to try to fit in and Greg try’s to fit in by joining wrestling, safety patrol and he tries to dress nice to. That just shows how insecure they both are. They don’t use their head. Greg and pony boy always get in trouble or beat up because they don’t think. Greg thinks by joining all these groups he will be popular and everyone will like him. Pony boy wants to be a greaser so he thinks that his brothers are cool. He thinks that stealing is cool and fighting is cool to. Greg thinks that being known by people is cool. They both just want to be cool and know.
Greg and Pony boy are both bullied. Greg gets bullied and teased by everyone in his school. Pony boy gets bullied by the socs he gets teased and threatened by them to. Pony boy tries to be a greaser and Greg just wants to be in the year book. Greg and Pony boy want to fit in but they can’t. Both stories Greg and pony boy both get bullied by their brothers.                                                       
 They both don’t use their head. Greg broke Rowley’s arm and Greg didn’t feel sorry. Greg got Rowley in trouble by not telling the truth to him. A good example is when Greg throws all of Rowley’s clothes away and Rowley wanted them they were all gifts. Rowley had a different style then Greg so Rowley wears different clothes then Greg. Pony boy doesn’t use his head a good example he wants to be a greaser and he smokes and puts oil in his hair.

                Greg and ponyboy are very different but kind of the same in some ways. A good example of them being the same Greg gets bullied and so does Ponyboy. Greg has brothers that embarrass him and so does ponyboy they both just want to fit in.The conclusion is that some people are the same. All People got bullied or embarrassed some time in their life so this book and this movie is like real life. I share kind of the same similarities. Do you get bullied or teased at all because everyone does. So that means everyone in their life got bullied.
