Tyranny In The Outsiders

A boy with no parents and in a bad neighborhood with bad influences as friends and is a minor that smokes and his older brother lets him do that and have those friends , which also doesn’t give him a curfew and lets him go to places alone , should be in the system.
Ponyboy has an older brother Darry, but Darry doesn’t really take care of ponyboy like he should or gives him as much as attention as he should get for a teenager.
Ponyboy should be in the system because he is a young boy that has bad influences around him,and has no parents to take care of him. If he goes into the system Ponyboy would have more attention and would be kept out of trouble and be safe . “I went on walking home, thinking about the movie, and then suddenly wishing
“Let me fight, Darry…” “Well”-Darry gave in-”I guess you can.” ( Hinton. 135) This quote is showing Darry is letting Ponyboy be involved in things that can get him hurt or even killed, Darry is not thinking of the consequences of how Ponyboy can get hurt in that Rumble . Darry wasn’t so convinced of letting him go , yes that’s good, but Darry still let him go fight in this big rumble , if he were a better guardian he would’ve left him at home. Knowing that Ponyboy could get hurt Darry still let him fight and if he really did care about him he would’ve not let him go. A good guardian thinks if he will get hurt and the consequences first, instead of just letting a kid go to a big fight where he could get hurt. “Darry’s hard and firm and rarely grins at all.” this quote shows how Darry doesn’t show any emotion and isn’t really happy , Ponyboy shouldn’t be with someone that is serious all the time and shows no feelings , because he can become like that too . Ponyboy might not tell Darry things because he probably thinks Darry doesn’t care because he never shows emotions, and Ponyboy should be with someone that is a least a bit happy and boost Ponyboy’s emotions . In the system Ponyboy will be
“I don’t know if you ought to be in this rumble, Ponyboy”… “You fight real good for a kid your size. But you were in shape before. You’ve lost weight and you don’t look so great, kid. You’re tensed up to much.” Yes at first Darry didn’t want Ponyboy to go to the rumble at first , but that was because Ponyboy wasn’t in shape , if he were in shape Darry would’ve quickly said yes. Darry still let Ponyboy go to the fight though good shape or not or good fighter , a teenager shouldn’t be in a big fight where he could get hurt. A rumble is no place for a young teenager because their is a lot of people hurting each other and that was very irresponsible of Darry for letting Ponyboy go to the rumble knowing he was weak and it was too dangerous for him.

In conclusion Ponyboy should be in the system because a boy with parents and a irresponsible guardian, with bad influences all around him should be in a good home. Ponyboy would focus more in school and won’t have to worry about getting hurt by someone because he’s alone, he would also be in a better neighborhood. Pony would do much better in the system because they would take care of him and have him in good conditions, with good grades , also with no risk of death every minute. The system would take much better care of Ponyboy than his
