Two Bit Ponyboys Monologue
Two-Bit: You feel okay? You're awful hot.
Ponyboy: I'm all right. Don't tell Darry, okay? Come on, Two-Bit, be a buddy. I'll be well by tonight. I'll take a bunch of aspirins.
Two-Bit: All right. But Darry'll kill me if you're really sick and go ahead and fight anyway.
Ponyboy: I'm okay, and if you keep your mouth shut, Darry won't know a thing.
Two-Bit: You know somethin'? You'd think you could get away with murder, living with your big brother and all, but Darry's stricter with you than your folks were, ain't he?
Ponyboy: Yeah, but they'd raised two boys before me. Darry hasn't.
Two-Bit: You know, the only thing that keeps Darry from bein' a Soc is us.
Ponyboy: I know… Tonight I don't like it one bit.
Two-Bit: I never knew you to play chicken in a rumble before. Not even when you was a little kid.

    He was a Greaser but has been frightened by the Socs. He has been stereotyped as a juvenile delinquent by and has always been made fun of. Ever since Ponyboy has been brought into this gang life he fails to see the good side in any Soc and is to stick together with the Greasers believing that each one of them lives up to their name as being the jet set rich kids. However, there is one input from a Soc that makes Ponyboy realize that the Socs and Greasers both go through the same struggles, Cherry. She opened up Pony’s eyes to believe that there is only one difference between the Socs and Greasers. “You Greaser have a different set of values. You’re more emotional. We’re more sophisticated--cool to the point of not feeling anything. Nothing is real with us.” (Hinton 33) From this Ponyboy learned that you can’t just judge someone from what people tell you or how you have been taught to know them as growing up. Each and every Soc has their own problems that their going though, just like the Greasers and Pony also believed that maybe their worlds weren't so different because they both watched the same sunset, which was a big part of Pony’s life. Pony had to step into the Soc’s shoes to realize that things are rough all over, no matter a Soc or…
