The real main character of The outsiders is still Ponyboy. After all it seems like he wrote the book because of one full circle quote. “ When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home…” (Pg 1 and 180). In addition to having him write the book he is ultimately the main character because it is written from his point of view. For example, almost every line in the book has him thinking in it or describing something through his eyes. “I had walked down…” (Pg 31) or “...this church gave me a creepy feeling.” (Pg 67). All in all Ponyboy has changed as a character through the book and is indeed the main character.…

“Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold,” Those are the words that Johnny wrote to Ponyboy before his tragic death. Johnny wanted to let Ponyboy and his best friends know that life goes on and just because there is hardships, there still is happiness in the world and that the grass is always greener on the other side. I believe that if Dally had not been killed then all of the gang’s lives would go on living the motto of Johnny. Dally would be alive and still heartbroken from Johnny’s death but he would know that it would be okay because of Johnny’s letter that he wrote. I believe that Ponyboy would have shown Dally the note, and Dally would be reassured that even without Johnny everything would better than alright. The book would have ended with only one of their best friends dead and as tragic as it was things wouldn’t get worse but better.…
