In "The Outsiders," Ponyboy often exhibits denial about the realities of his situation. He struggles to accept the harshness of his life as a Greaser and frequently insists that things aren't as bad as they seem. For example, he downplays the violence between the Greasers and the Socs, believing that they can coexist peacefully. His denial is further revealed when he clings to the hope that his brothers will always be there for him, despite the mounting pressures and dangers they face.
