Readers are introduced to ____ as the first-person narrator. Ponyboy is an introspective ____ with some typical greaser characteristics—namely the long ____, the struggles with ____, and the feeling of being alienated from his peers. "I usually lone it anyway," he explains. Ponyboy is the ____ in his family and contrasts his two older brothers: "____ ... grown up too fast. ____ never grow up at all." Before the story begins, their parents have ____ in a car accident, leaving Darry in charge of his two younger brothers. Readers also learn the dynamics between the three brothers and their relationships to one another. Ponyboy doesn't get along with Darry because he feels Darry is ____ on him. But Soda always ____ for Ponyboy with Darry. Readers learn about the ____ between the greasers and the Socials (the ____), who are "the jet set, the West-side ____ kids." That rivalry often escalates to ____. Ponyboy matter-of-factly states, "We get ____ by the Socs." This is life as Ponyboy knows it, and he knows the dangers can be life threatening, as in the case of fellow greaser ____, who was beaten so badly four months previously that he cried, "half-conscious, in the corner lot." On his way walking home alone from the ____, Ponyboy is surrounded by a gang of five unnamed Socs. They punch him a few times and pull a ____ on him before he screams and both his brothers come to ____ him. In fact, his whole gang rushes to his aid. There are four other greaser gang members who are all like his extended ____: Steve Randle, the 17-year-old car genius; 16-year-old Johnny Cade, the lost puppy who "has been kicked too many times"; Two-Bit Mathews, the wise-cracking 18-year-old; and ____ (Dallas) Winston, the 17-year-old who is the angriest, toughest greaser.
