Ponyboy and his brothers, Darry and Sodapop, represent a blend of typical greaser traits but also show deeper complexity. While they fit the greaser stereotype with their rough backgrounds and social struggles, they also exhibit strong family bonds, ambition, and sensitivity, particularly in Ponyboy’s introspective nature. Unlike some greasers, they prioritize education and personal growth, challenging the notion that all greasers are defined solely by their tough exteriors. This complexity makes them relatable and nuanced characters within the narrative.

What change in Ponyboy shows the greatest maturity?

Pony boy is scared when the soc approaches him because the soc is armed and Pony knows that he will not win the fight and not only that but Pony knows he could end up dead. To answer the second part of your question (I am guessing you are talking about the change Pony went through after he ran away). Pony realizes he has to toughen up to survive. He sees himself as a greaser and greasers are not wimps. Pony wants to be like his brothers and his friends, who are tough.
