About Me
How does the relationship of Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry change over the course of the novel?
ReplyDeleteDiscuss the role of the novel's physical setting. How does the division between the East Side and the West Side represent the conflict within the novel itself?
The relationship of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry change over the course of the novel because in the beginning, Ponyboy thinks that Soda has no problems and that Darry hates him. Towards the end, he comes to realize that Darry doesn't hate him, but just loves him so much that he worries all the time. He realizes that Sodapop has problems too like how he is always in between the fights of Dally and Pony and his old girlfriend Sandy. I think the trauma in their lives made them a closer family.
ReplyDeleteCiao,

The relationship of the gang falls apart at the end of the book because all of the members are dieing and they learned there lesson now.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship between them changes by they all know what it would have been like if one of them died. Mostly because in the beginning Ponyboy thinks Darry hates him! And Sodapop has a carefree life. But in the end Ponyboy learns that Darry loves him and that Sodapop actually has a rough life. They lived happily ever after! The end!

ReplyDeleteI disagree with you that the gang falls apart. l actually think that they become closer

I think that Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry's realationship becomes more of a family of the couse of the novel. I think this because in the beginning Ponyboy doesn't understand why Darry is so strict on him put in the end he realizes that he doesn't want to lose Ponyboy. Darry and Sodapop also stayed and waited by Ponyboy's hospital bed waiting for him to wake up. Sodapop and Ponyboy were already pretty close it was just Darry and Ponyboy that needed to realize that they needed eachother. Ponyboy needed to notice how much everyone in his family was giving up in order for him to go to school and not be sent to an Orphanage.

Dear Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI will be responding to question number one. Ponybpy, Darry, ans Soda's relationship has changed through the course of the book is in the beginning of the book Soda was always stuck in the middle of Darry and Pony's fights! He was the one ending the fights. Now that Soda has spoke his feelings the two other boys never put him in the middle of fights. In the beginning of the book Pony had no respect for Darry because he thought he didn't care about him when he really did! Also the three boys have grown tighter and became more open to eachothers feelings and opinions. They have taught one another through their kind actions. They were always as tight has could be, but now they are even more close because they have learned new things about eachother! Text to self- Samatha and I will be like them when we both become a little more mature!
Yours Truly,

Or1020,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you because Ponyboy thinks Darry hates him. He thought that he liked Soda better and treated him better! Everyone liked Sodapop a lot so that is why he thought Darry liked Soda better! The only reason Darry was so hard on Ponyboy because he thought he could bring his intelligients and brillant ideas to the world! Pony was an A plus student and he worked hard to keep hi grades up, but he did! he always was reading too!
Sincerely,
m0618
Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteThe relationship of Pony Boy, Soda, and Darry in this novel was and is okay. Soda was the fluky in drop out of high school. Darry is kind of the parents of Soda and Pony. He is a lot more tough on Pony because he cares. Not that he did not care about Soda it just he wanted Pony to be successful. As the book moves on Pony realizes that Darry does really love him. Pony starts to feel bad for what he said to Darry and how he treated them.Talk to you later. From, mm0104
Dear Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI will be responding to question number two! The Phisical setting caused division between the west side and the east side because the east side is the greasers side and that side is called the "hood". This place is a very dumpy place in the socs eyes. It is where all the poor people live and this can create conflict because people jump them and they are weird greasers( in the eyes of the socs)! The west side is the Socs side where all the rich, preppy, and snotty kids live( in the eyes of the greasers). They have good houses and good friends, but have to put on an act when they are around their friends! This creates problems because they are the people that have all the stuff that some greasers may want and they jump greasers! Well that all for now!
Sincerely,
ms0618
Well the relationship between Ponyboy, Darry, and Soda change during the course of the novel by the beginning of the novel Darry and Pony didn't get along very well and Pony always thought that Darry favored Soda mostly but that kind of changed when Pony saved the children in the church and when he kept getting hurt. The relationship between Soda and Pony are tight. They are like ketchup and mustard on a hot dog because they understand each other and they get along with each other very well. Still Darry gets mad at Ponyboy, but that's because Pony's hurt and Darry wants him to be a good kid. Which don't all guardians want that?
ReplyDeleteI agree with OR you are totally right on how Pony thought Soda was like the coolest ever and in Darry was a hot head. Great point! Keep up the great bloggin'!
ReplyDeleteHello Bloggers,
ReplyDeletePonyboy, Soda and Darry's relationship changed over the course of this novel because in the beginning of the novel Ponyboy thought that Darry didn't like/love him but as the book went on Ponyboy learned that Darry does love him and he's just hard on him because he want Pony to succeed and have a good education. Soda and Pony are really tight. Soda listens to each of his brothers problems but sometimes he feels unappreciative because he listens to them but they don't listen to him. But nevertheless they still love each other.

MS,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you included how both the Greasers and Socs see each other.

They're relationship changes because Johny and Dally died, and they were very important in their gang. Johny basicly united everyone together, and Dally watched out over everyone, except for Darry.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, mm

ReplyDeleteHello peoples!
ReplyDeleteHow their relationships changed is that Darry used to always yell at Ponyboy, but at the end of the book they promise that they won't fight anymore. But overall they are a good little family to live with. Soda is just the one in the middle all of the time, like he is just there, and Darry is the boss of the house, and Pony is the little baby of the family.

Hey KK,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. Great comment. Good Job!

ReplyDeleteThe relationship of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry changes over the course of the novel because Pony and Darry get closer, emotionally. They also stop fitting because Soda asks them to. I think that that within itself changes their relationship because with them not using Soda as the rope in a tug-a-war game, they can be better friends and more loyal brothers. If Soda doesn't feel like he needs to pick sides, then he'll be able to be closer to each brother rather than feeling like he needs to give them each the same amount of time.

The relationship of Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry change over time is that they grow closer together. They started out hating and fearing each other never really knowing what they thought about each other. When they do find out what they think about each other they grow together and helped each other through their own problems.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship of Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry changed over the course of the novel because Soda was always caught in the middle of when Darry was being tough on Ponyboy. Now it seems like through the course of this novel's events and realistic storyline, they all became closer in the end.
ReplyDeleteAB I agree with you that Soda has to listen to Darry and Ponyboy fight and they make him choose a side. Even if he doesn't want to.
ReplyDeleteThe Curtis family gets closer and more loving. Actually, the whole greaser gang does. Johnny and Dally's death really make a huge impact on their relationships. Darry, the hard tough guy would now do anything for Pony or Soda. Soda was always loving and now Pony knows that Darry would die for him.

ReplyDeleteso true buddy. Dally's and JOhnny's death really impacted the whole gang's lives. Wouldn't yours?
ZW
Bloggers!!!
ReplyDeleteDarry, Soda, and Ponyboys relationship has changed since the beginning because Ponyboy always thought that Darry hated him because he was so strict and always worried about him. Ponyboy loved Soda and he still does but Soda tells Pony that he is tired of being in between Ponyboys and Darrys fights all of the time! I think that towards the end they became a closer family!!

ZW and AB,
ReplyDeleteThat is really really true!!! The deaths really impacted the whole gang!!!!

To everyone who will listen,
ReplyDeleteThe Curtis family's relationship changed a lot. In the beginning it was Pony against Darry. Pony couldn't tell that Darry loved him so much, and Pony wouldn't listen to anyone who said Darry loved him. Soda loved Pony and he protected Pony, and he kept his problems to himself to save Pony from his worries.
In the middle of the book it was (as Pony thought) him against the world, he ran away and was unaware of how much his brothers worried about him. When his brothers saw him after he ran away you could tell how much Darry cared because he was crying and said, "Pony, I thought we'd lost you...like we did Mom and Dad..."(page 98) If someone loves you as much as your parents they love you a lot. When Soda saw Pony he told him "Pony, you've scared me to death." That shows a lot of love.
At the end Pony finally figured out how much his brothers cared for him because they stayed by him in the hospital and took care of him. Pony also figured out how he hasn't been paying any attention to Soda's problems. In the end after they got it all out they could see all the love.
You friend and blogger,
LS
I think the relationship between the brothers change over the coarse of the book change because in the begining Ponyboy think that Darry doesn't love him and Sodapop is the only one who understands him. But towards the end of the book Ponyboy finally notices that Darry does really love him but he just doesn't know how to show it, and they all get closer.
ReplyDeleteZW,
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya there girly, i think the deaths really did impact the whole gang and that everyone gets closer.
hi
ReplyDeletepony boy darry and soda pop grow a better relationship as their troubles keep coming.
LS-
ReplyDeleteDo you think that if Pony had payed more attention to Soda's problems that some of the things in the book would have changed?
-ck
The relationship. Ah it is so sweet. Well nothing really changes so far between him and soda. Yet darry it changes a lot. Now ponyboy and him didn't really get a long. Now soda couldn't take it anymore. Now him and darry get a long fine.
ReplyDeleteDear People,
ReplyDeleteI think the relationship between Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry changed from the beginning of the book to the end almost. At the beginning Ponyboy thought that Sodapop was the greatest person in the world but he actually always tries to get in fights and jumps people. Ponyboy though Darry hated him. Darry only yelled at him and made his life tough because he loved him. Ponyboy's relationship with Darry had gotten a lot stronger as the book went on. Usually when you start growing up your relationship with your siblings get a lot stronger.
Dear Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI am answering to the first question. I think they relationship between Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry changed is by how they all grew apart from each other in the beginning but then they get closer in the end. I thought they were apart in the beginning because how Ponbody describes Darry. I thought they grew together in the end by how the problem grew and how there friends died. I thought it got out of hand too.

Hola friends,
ReplyDeleteThe physical setting plays a big roll in the book because it shows how the town is beat up and it can represent the people also. The East Side and the West Side are very different. The East Side is all beat up and kind of old and broken. The West Side is the rich people side so it is a little bit more industrialized and newer. This effects the story because the Greasers think that the rich kids think they are better than them so that's what started all of the fighting.
yo,
ReplyDeletei'm talkin' about the relationship between darry, soda and pony. It changes over the span of the book because it's bad then ok then really bad then good! Wo! that is a lot of shaky! shaky! i thin im going to be sick!

ReplyDeleteI do think that some things in the book would have changed. Maybe even the fact that Darry and Pony fight.
LS
Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you ms0618! You were very detailed too! I think the east side is a dumpy place too! Except, it just sounds like it though. I wouldn't want to actually say it is because I never really seen it.

Dear Fellow Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI am responding to question number one. Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy's relationship has changed over the course of the novel because in the beginning Darry liked Sodapop but it seemed like he didn't like Ponyboy. But he really does care about Ponyboy, he just is very strict with him because he wants him to be a good kid. Sodapop always sticks up for Ponyboy when Darry yells at him. As the novel progresses Ponyboy realizes that Darry really does love him and just acts like he does because he cares. At the end of the novel the three brothers are very close and all love each other.

Bloggers,
ReplyDeleteI am answering to the second question. The novel's physical setting is that there are two sides. The east side and the west side. Even though the movie has north and south, the book has east and west. There are two major groups and they are the Socs and the Greasers. They always jump each other and they enjoy doing it to each other. That's what it was like back then though. They beat up each other for fun and think it's funny. The divison between the East side and the West side represent the novel itself by how it actually happened when the author wrote it and how the West side is really rich (which is the Socs)and the East side is the Greasers and how they were really poor. This effects the story because of how the Greasers thought that since they were rich that they can't fight but, it turns out that they can and so they have this big rumble. They had it just to see who is tougher or stronger than the other. Wich turned out the Greasers won. I liked this novel!

Dear buds,
ReplyDeleteI agree with or1020. Ponyboy thinks Darry hates him, but Darry actually loves him. I just think it's hard for Darry to show his emotions because he is the man of the family. He actually really cares about Soda and Pony. It's great how they're finally getting along
