They were the rich kids who had plenty of money and no boundaries set down by their parents. They also resorted to a life of crime and violence, mostly out of boredom, and few of them lived up to their societal expectations. Ponyboy was the outsider in this novel. Unlike the other Greasers, he didn't fight out of hatred, or pride, or for fun. He didn't believe in fighting unless it was self defense. Darry complains that he “doesn't use his head”, and didn't think of carrying a knife or other weapon around with him. Ponyboy watched the sunset. He read books and loved going to the movies by himself. The Greasers couldn't understand this. He was also very smart and kind. No Greasers were as dreamy, artistic or poetic as Ponyboy, and preferred to go wild, get drunk and get into fights instead. Ponyboy was still the outsiders at the end of the novel. He was still very kind and kept all of these things that he had. He never changed. The Greasers were still the outsiders because although they won the rumble between them and Socs, in society, they were still changed
