He is miserable because he is very silent and time since the socs hit him.
He is sensible and delicate because the socs hit him and he couldn’t do anything about it.
He’s capable because when he saw that Dally was being rude with Marcia and Cherry he told him to stop.

Marcia is decent because she’s kind with the greasers even though she is a soc.
And she’s enjoyable because she is funny and has fun in general.

He’s irritable because every time that Ponyboy hangs out with him and Soda he gets a little mad and irritated.

Soda is truant because he’s a dropout (dropped out of school because he didn’t want school).
And he’s considerate because he understands everyone and especially Ponyboy when their going to places because he invites him.

The soca are terrible and horrible because they are really bad with greasers and they do terrible things, but not all of them and some of them are decent like Cherry and Marcia.

Considerate

The greasers are miserable in their life conditions. Many of them have problems at home, like Johnny who was beat up by his dad, or doesn't have parents at all, like Ponyboy, Darry and soda, who's parents died and now Darry has to work to maintain the three of them and has to be the head of the family at only 20. The also live in constant danger, they can't walk alone and have to be very attentive because at any moment they can be jumped by the docs. They also live in poverty, in neighborhoods with houses very near each other and very tiny and a lot of the kids have to work since they are very little

Greasers are very loyal to each other and very considerate to each other. In their gangs, they form bonds that ties them like family. The help each other, they are concerned about each other and they have each others back. Just like when Ponyboy was jumped and Johnny was beaten up badly. The came and rested Ponyboy and scared away the sons and they were very concerned about Johnny when he was jumped and they found him lying on the floor nearly unconscious.

Darry is very considerate, he only wants what's best for Ponyboy and wants the best future and opportunities for him. He cares a lot and really love Ponyboy, even if he doesn't show it. He is very concerned about his future and pushes him and helps him gives his very best, so that he can have the very best future Darry can be able to give him

After loosing their parents, Darry being the oldest had to "grow up" and be the head of the family. He had to abandon his life and studies to work all days all the time to be able to support his family. He is very responsible and puts his responsibilities before his life, like when all of his friends were going out Friday and he had to work instead.

He can be a little irritable and tired but its mostly because of his big responsibilities and how he had to grow up so fast. He is also very hard on Ponyboy and can get mad with him for not having good grades, or going out alone, but he only wants to keep him safe and want what's best fro him, he want better opportunities for Ponyboy and a brighter future.

Ponyboy is a decent guy. He is respectful and kind. Like for example, he knows Steve doesn't like him and thinks about him as Sodas little brother, as someone to young to be hanging with them, and Ponyboy knows this, but he doesn't go and start a fight with him, or tell him mean things, he even have his back if it came to it. He is a decent guy, he will respect his opinion and leave him alone.

Ponyboy is very obedient. He stays out of trouble as Darry told him to. He comes home on time and he doesn't get involved in fights. Even when he doesn't use his head to go out with someone, he is very obedient overall.

Ponyboy is sensible, he got really scared when he was jumped by the socs and has a sensible side. He connects with the movies, showing this side of him, his raw emotions, just like when he was scared.

He is a funny guy to be around. He has a strange sense of humor, but he can easy the air around. He is someone cheerful and light to be around, he demonstrated it when he arrived to the cinema and joined them.

Two-Bit is a decent guy. He is respectful, not like Dally. He is nice and polite.

Dally's behavior and manners show how horrible and terrible he is. He likes to go in the opposite of ale, he had been arrested several times, he goes slashing tires of people and then have to fight them, and I'm sure he's the type of person who takes out blades and knifes in fights. He is also horrible and terrible in his actions. He is very rude and talks very badly, like when he was talking to Cherry and Marcia, he was discussing. He made them feel uncomfortable and scared and for what, to humiliate them.

Dally is very confident. He shows his confidence his actions when he goes against the law, or when he talks, like about his punishments, he does it so lightly, like its nothing. He also shows confidence talking to people, mostly to girls. He goes there, talking trash and very badly so confident, he goes and makes people feel bad, feel uncomfortable and scared and still he continues amused and with even more confidence.

His actions shows how desperate he is. Im not sure about what he's desperate to, I think its just to gain attention. He is so desperate to go against the law, and to accomplish what he wants that they catch him in the process. Like when he was spotted slashing the tires of a car. Or when the girls where getting mad, so he when away, let them "cool of" a bit and brought cokes, as if that could please them and continue their little "game".

Cherry is really confident, she stood up to Dally and told him to shut up and to go, she even threw the coke he bought her. That takes a lot of confident, and being scared. Her way of act show confidence too, how she talks and doesn't care if she's spotted hanging with greasers.

As her confidence showed, she is very capable. She stood up to him, told him repeatedly to go, to stop, to shut up and even threw a coke to him. If she wants to, she is very capable. She also invited Johnny and Ponyboy to sit with her and wasn't bothered to be hanging out with greasers and younger people.

Cherry is also considerate. She noticed the boys and Johnnys actions and thanked him and even invited them to sit with her and Marcia. She is also very attentive, she saw that Johnny was hurt because she was attentive to his actions. She may not have seem that considerate when she threw that coke on Dally, but she was really scared and uncomfortable.
