Discuss the emotions in "The Outsiders."

When I think of the characters in the book "The Outsiders" I am able to relate different emotions with different characters.  Johnny has feelings of loneliness and abandonment.  He has low self-esteem.  He is also timid.


Dallas Winston, Dally, is angry.  He has lost the ability to cope with life in any other manner than anger.


Darry, the oldest brother, is frustrated and angry.  He has had to accept the responsibility of getting his brother through school and keeping the family together.


Two-Bit has the emotion of joy and laughter.  He is a wise cracker but he enjoys being happy and making others happy.


Soda Pop is sensitive and in love with a girl.  He worries bout his family and friends and tries to play mediator.


Bob, the Soc, is angry and spiteful. 


Pony Boy has a need or desire to be something better than his circumstances.  He loves the people he is around but he is more aware of the life beyond his upbringing.  He is confused.
