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.
