Comparing Ponyboy and Greg hefly

Ponyboy and Greg Hefley are two different people.  Ponyboy comes from a place where poverty and crime are common. Greg comes from a ‘’ideal’’ family with parents that love him dearly.  Even though there different they share the same simulations.  Pony boy has 3 older brothers and Greg has one older brother and one younger.

  Pony boy tries to fit in even though he likes books and he has high IQ. Steve thinks pony boy is a little kid. Greg Hefley does anything to fit in. He is mean to his best friend. If he wants to fit in he needs to act like himself and not join something that he can’t do. His older brother thinks his a little kid. His brother always gets him in trouble and Greg gets him in trouble before. They both try hard in school to get to the top of the popularity group.

 Pony boy gets bullied by his older siblings. Darry doesn’t think pony boy fits in. Darry is jealous of high IQ. Pony boy isn’t bad and his siblings are bad. Greg gets bullied by his older brother. He doesn’t want him to succeed in school because his older brother doesn’t. He gets beat up by this girl at his middle school.  

 Pony boy doesn’t fit in because he is smart and their not and he reads books. Greg pushed some kids in a hole and didn’t even care. He let his best friend get the blame. So his best friend becomes popular and he doesn’t. He broke his friends arm by and accident and he became popular.

As you can see ponyboy and Greg share the same similarities.  They both get beat up by their family members and other people. They both do not use their heads and I think ponyboy’s experience is worse than Greg’s.  I think even I share a lot of these characteristics that ponyboy and Greg share do you?
