1. On the bottom of p.133, when Pony asks what kind of a world it is, what comment is he making about how society judges people?
Ponyboy realizes that people stereotyoe him just because of the way he dresses or by how much hair oil he uses.
2. Why do the boys fight? Why is Pony different?
Soda for fun, Steve for hatred, Darry for pride, and Two-Bit for conformity. Pony saw no point in fighting except for self defense.
3. What is the difference between Tim Sheppard's gang and Ponyboy's? Explain how Pony feels this difference might give his group the upper hand?
Tim's gang was organized and had a leader while Pony's was just a bunch of friends who were all their own leaders. Pony sees this as a strength because everyone in his gang thinks for themselves.
4. What do you think Johnny's last words to Pony mean?
I think Johnny was telling Pony to live beyond his hood-like status and keep trying to fulfill his full potential.
