Question 31

Why doesn't Ponyboy feel scared when the socs approach him and he threatens them with a broken bottle? How is this a dramatic change from the ponyboy we have seen up until this point?

Pony boy does not feel scared when the Socs come to him in the car because he has been through much more than a couple of Socs can do to him. He has lost two good friends and has been to a court trial because he had a suspected murder. He is failing in school. All of these things have "toughened him".

Ponyboy doesnt feel scared because hes been through alot and hes getting toffer trying to hold in the pain. He thretens them with a bottle because they were goin to beat him up, and he didnt want that to happen. I think he would of used it, if he had to.

ponyboy doesn’t feel scared when the socs come at him in their car because he has been through a lot in the past few weeks and he doesn't feel anything after he lost his two friends. This is a dramatic change from the ponyboy in the first of the book because if this was earlier in the book Pony would have ran away or got help from Two-bit and Steve. If it was earlier in the book he never would have used the bottle.

Ponyboy doesn't feel scared because to Ponyboy, there nothing else to live for , because Johnny and Dally was dead and they weren't ever coming home again, and hes never going to be able to tlak to Johnny again , and tell him everything on his mind, and to Ponyboy, the socs are jsut a big joke in life, hes not afraid to kill someone anymore , and hes not afriad of deadth, hes not afriad to die anymore, because he knows his best friend that was like a brother to him, is dead, and to Ponyboy, he wants Johnny back and he just wants everything back to normal.

I think pony boy didnt feel scared when the socs came to him in the car because hes been through alot with the socs and they were going to beat him up again so he stood up for himself and told them to leave or something bad was going to happen. He had a bottle with him and he would of used it if he had to.

Ponyboy wasn’t scared when the socs approach him because he had lost two good buddies, and he was tired of the socs coming after him for revenge for killing bob, and he wasn’t scared of them because he is more tougher then he was before.

Ponyboy does not feel scared when the socs pull up in there car because he has gone through so much and he really doesnt care anymore for the socs now that Dally and Johnny are dead. This is a diffrence between the ponyboy we saw at the beging of the story is that at the beging pony is very afraid of the socs andnow he isnt affraid of them anymore.

Ponyboy doesnt feel scared when the socs approch him and threatens him with a broken bottle because he has been throught a lot of things. And that he ca handel pain, because there was many other socs that beat him before. But Ponyboy isnt scared because it has happened to him before. Also ponyboy has lost Johnny and Dallas.

This is a dramatic change from Ponyby when we had seen him up to this point because he would just run away from them, and go get help from Two-Bit or Steve or someone.

Pony boy does not fell scared because he was through to much all ready with the socs ans so that is why he is not scared of them, also that two of his good friends was at court and he is suspected of murder and failing on school now.

Ponyboy don't feel scared because other people has done a lot more then him that would make him scared of the socs. Worse has been done to him. He has been gone to court for what he and johnny done. He lost Johnny he and Dally are always getting into fights. He has been through a ot, so he probably don't care anymore.

Pony doesn't feel scared hen the socs approcah him this time because he has been through so much. He wasen't scared of a tustle because that was a minor thing. Him and Johnny ran away because they murdered someone, fighting isn't really a big deal now. This is a dramatic change from the psat because before Pony would be involved in fights and stuff but he didn't really to go or fight, he just would because his brothers went. Pony would have really used that bottle on the socs because he knew that he wasen't afraid of the socs and they wouldn't take advantage of him anymore.

Pony dosen't feel scared and threatens the socs with a broken bottle when they approach him because he has seen two of his friends die and has been through so many things he doesn't care anymore.

Pony boy does not feel scared when the Socs come to him in the car because he has been through a lot by loosing two of his best friends. He threatened them with broken bottle because he didn't want to get hurt like Johnny did. The dramatic change from Ponyboy we have seen up until this point was that he was afraid of the socs and think of Johnny a lot and he could end up like that. He used to go away form them and run to get help from his gang members. Pony used to never use a bottle or any dangerous wepon.
