The Character I am Least Like?
The character I am least like would be Dallas Winston. Dallas is someone who does not care about anyone else but himself, he gets into a lot of trouble with the law, and he depends on no one but himself. I am someone who is still dependent on my parents for some things and he was someone who was completely on his own and that is the way he liked it.
Main Character's Most Pressing Problem
Ponyboy's most pressing problem at this time is, he is losing one of his best friends. Johnny was the one of the only greasers around his age and they were very close. Pony and Johnny ran into a burning church to save four students and as Johnny was jumping out, a piece of the roof came down on his back. Johnny was in critical condition and was in intensive care at the hospital where he later passed away.
Most Interesting Qoute?
The most interesting quote from The Outsiders, is "Stay Gold Ponyboy." I think this quote has a lot of meaning behind it because is came from Johnny who was about to die. Johnny was the person in the group that kept everyone sane and helped everyone get along. Him and Ponyboy were very good friends and this quote was one of the last things he said before her passed.
Would I Choose the Character to be my Friend?
In the book, The Outsiders, Ponyboy is the main character and I do not know if I could be close with him, but I could be acquaintances with him. The groups of guys he is friends with gets into trouble with the law and I don't think I would want to be apart of that.
What Character Would I Want With me is I was Stranded on an Island?
The character I would want with me if I was stranded on an idea would be Amy from Gone Girl. I would want Amy with me because she obviously knows how to maneuver her way around tough situations. She planned a whole disappearance without getting caught so I think she would be one that I would want with me. Somehow, Amy would find some way to make a living on very little supplies and because of that she would be the character I would want with me if I was stranded on an island.
How Would I solve the Problem in this Book?
In the book, A Child Called Its, the problem is Dave's mother beats on him constantly. The teachers ask Dave about his bruises, scars, and burn marks; however, Dave's mother brainwashed him into saying things that weren't true. To solve this problem I would tell my teachers what is really going on and hope they could help me if I was put in Dave's position.

Qualities a Character Shares with a Person I Know
In the book, The Outsiders, I personally think Ponyboy shares some qualities with my cousin, Haris. At Hoffman family gatherings, he is one of the youngest boys, but he is almost old enough to run with the older boys. Along with Ponyboy, Haris is a very athletic kid and excels in sports. Haris also gets pushed around a little bit by the older boys at family gatherings like Ponyboy does by the older greasers.
