In The Outsiders, Ponyboy Curtis is the characters real name. His father gave him the name along with his brothers Sodapop and Darryl.
Yes it is their real names in the book and movie. who named them and why: their father. He wanted their names to be unique. Ponyboy Curtis and Sodapop Curtis. However Ponyboys actual name is: C. Thomas Howell and Sodapop's actual name is: Rob Lowe
The father is never specified, but it is NOT Soda's. Sandy cheated on him, and she was sent to live with her Grandparents because her parents were disappointed in their teenage daughter being pregnant. Although Soda said he would marry her, her parents wouldn't let her.
Mostly to describe them at the begining, but some he mentions them later on, like when he tells the relationship Darry had with his father.
pony is really close to his older brother soda then he is to his oldest brother darry. He feels he can talk to soda about anything and not get a harsh or mean comment thrown back at him. At the beginning of the book Darry and Pony were not at all close, but by the end of the book they get kind of close, but not to close like what pony is with soda.

S.E. Hinton's father had complications from diabetes, which eventually led to his death.
