It can be very hard to change people's opinion after they think they know your personalities. "I mean my second oldest brother Soda, who is sixteen, never cracks a books at all, and my oldest brother, Darrel, who we call Darry works to long and hard to be interested in a story or drawing a picture, so I'm not like them." This quote shows that unlike Ponyboy, nobody in his family wants or is interested in the things Ponyboy is. Ponyboy doesn't like to fight, in fact he wishes that people didn't even fight at all. This shows how Ponyboy isn't like his friends, he doesn't really want to fight people to prove himself. On page 69 of the Outsiders Randy (a Soc), calls Ponyboy, Greaser, right after he corrects himself and calls Ponyboy kid. This shows how people (in this case Randy), automatically thinks of Ponyboy as a Greaser, but then corrects himself saying kid instead. People are thought to be just like the group of people, but each person is individually different, and it is hard to think
