Cherry

2 Bit

Even though they’re being pleasant to Ponyboy and Johnny, they would probably never become friends with or date a greaser because of their differences in social status.

It serves as a setting for the characters to interact and highlights the social divide between the greasers and the Socs.

Johnny is portrayed as sensitive and fearful, especially after being attacked by the Socs.

Cherry represents the complexities of social class and the possibility of understanding between different groups.

Ponyboy has mixed feelings; he is curious about them but also aware of the social divide.

Dally is a tough character who often gets into trouble, representing the rebellious spirit of the greasers.
