Modified and Improved Resilience by ponyboy and Jay tea for writing this

In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton the main character Ponyboy Curtis does not crumble to the ground after being jumped by a rival gang. Unlike another gang member, Jonathan, he does not come out with bewildering trauma and manages not to cry. Proving a huge surprise to Darry and all the other greasers who thought he was going to die. For example, on page 8 the text shows, “Soda just put his hand on my shoulder. ‘Easy, Ponyboy. They ain’t gonna hurt you no more.’” This quote demonstrates Ponyboy needed minimal comfort and only his biological brother, Sodapop. It can be greatly noticed, when Johnny got beat up everyone was getting involved to help. Although despite those efforts Ponyboy put on a stern look making them realize he was fine. Further ensuring that Ponyboy shows ultimate resilience against being beat up. In contrast to Johnny, Ponyboy loses none of his confidence to speak or voice his opinions while talking. Henceforth, Ponyboy knows how to stand his ground, proving resilience. A separate example is one shortly after the quote above on page 9, “Soda doesn’t think I’m a kid.” This shows, Ponyboy’s resilience catches on to Sodapop. This is because Sodapop believes that Ponyboy can hold his own and some against their rival gang. Instilling this trust and belief is very important for Ponyboy since he needs the gang to believe he can take care of himself. Improving freedom away from Darry, Sodapop, and the other gang members alike in their neighborhood. This shows, if Sodapop trusts Ponyboy pretty soon everyone will start trusting him. Thus, spreading his moment of resilience into greaser history. In conclusion, Ponyboy has shown he will never bow down to the spoiled Socs giving them the benefit of being their victim. Ponyboy will be resilient. Ponyboy will be strong!
