I think the best way to summarize Ponyboy's personality is to say that he is very loyal to his friends. He is quite supportive of them. We can see this especially in how he deals with Johnny. He helps him deal with his unhappy home life, for example, and he tolerates Johnny's fears that come from being beaten.
With regard to his life, he is not pleased with how his life is at the moment but he is, especially at the end of the book, hopeful that he will be able to change things and get a better life. This is symbolized by his writing assignment -- he stops being hopeless and gets started on writing his theme.
