Ponyboy was offended by being called "white-trash" because it struck at his identity and social status. The term dehumanizes and marginalizes him, reinforcing societal stereotypes about class and worth. His long hair symbolizes his individuality and rebellion against societal norms, making the insult feel even more personal. Ultimately, it highlights Ponyboy's struggle with his self-image and the judgment he faces from others.

Ponyboy believes that being tough allows him to protect himself and stand up to bullies. He sees it as a way to assert his independence and strength in a challenging environment.
Ponyboy is attracted to Cherry physically and Cherry likes Ponyboy because he isn't rude like the other boys. Even though she is a Soc, she doesn't care about Ponyboy being a greaser, she cares more about him as a person.
