7. I think the point of view for this story is in Pony Boy's point of view and it helps the reader understand the story because pony boy saw most of what happened in the story.I think the story would be different if it was from someone else's point of view because that person probably didn’t see most of what happened in the story. Point of View

8. Mostly all of the socs drive blue mustangs and the story would be much different if they all drove different cars because the greasers wouldn’t know if the car driving up to them would be a regular person or a gang of socs. Symbolism

9. I think young people should read this book because it’s a really good book and it has most of the things that a young person would probably be able to understand. Recommendation
