---- [ Aaah. The love of English literature..] ---- It is traumatic for Ponyboy to cut his hair because his hair is part of his identity. Unlike the Socs who have madras shirts, mustangs and money, the only valuable thing the Greasers have is their hair. Ponyboy's hair is his trademark, his signature. It makes him feel that he belongs. Another reason he dislikes to cut it is because it look similar to Sodapop's long silky hair which in his opinion looks attractive. On page 87 of the book, "The Outsiders", Ponyboy states, "Our hair labled us Greasers. The one thing we were proud of. Maybe we couldn't have corvairs or madras shirts, but we could have our hair". Ponyboy is distraught when he has to cut his hair because it is the only thing he has that is valuable to him. ----

∙ 13y agoI believe it was because seeing that the greasers didn't have much in life, being quite poor, their hair was their trademark and something they had to be proud of.
It was more emotional for Ponyboy because he wanted to look more like his older brother Sodapop, who he sees as an idol, he believed his hair made him look more like him

What were some major events in ponyboy curtis life?
Here are some event. Major ones are in bold;-His mother and father died.-When Darry Curtis, his brother, slapped him so hard he crashed down on the floor. This happened because Ponyboy came home late after falling asleep in the lot after talking to Johnny. Sodapop tried to stand up for Ponyboy, but Darry yelled at him. After this, Ponyboy yelled "Don't you yell at him!" then yeah...Darry slapped him hard. Ponyboy then ran out of the house and told Johnny, who was sleeping, "Come on Johnny, we are running away!" Johnny was not reluctant to run away.-When the Socs (the drunk ones; a.k.a. Cherry's ex-boyfriend, Bob) tried to drown Ponyboy.-(very major) When Johnny killed the Soc that was drowning Ponyboy, and was going to beat Johnny up, Ponyboy was so sickened by the dead body of Bob, he threw up. This resulted in Johnny and Ponyboy going to where Dally was, and ask him for advice. Dally gave Johnny a gun, which was loaded, and gave Ponyboy a new, dry, but huge, shirt.-The church fire (the place where Ponyboy and Johnny were hiding) when both Johnny and Ponyboy almost died. Johnny was the one that was injured so badly; his back was broken. Ponyboy knew that if he survived, he wouldn't be able to do anything really.-When Johnny died. It was so sad in the movie when Johnny died after telling Ponyboy to 'Stay Gold, Ponyboy. Stay Gold." I felt so bad for Ponyboy, so that was a big major event in Ponyboy's life.I might've missed some major events. That's all I can think of now. Oh, also when Cherry Valance told Ponyboy she didn't want to see Johnny before he died, that was a major event. I bet Ponyboy was thinking; it was all your boyfriend Bob's fault. ALSO, when Dally died as well. This is my favorite book of all time. I could read it 3 times if I had to it's so good. Stay Gold. :)~KatieHope this helped, and I hope it's not too much info.

Johnny and Ponyboy hide out in chapter five because Johnny killed Bob Sheldon in self-defense during a fight. They knew that the police would be looking for them, so they needed to lay low until things quieted down.

While Johnny and Ponyboy were hiding out in the church they played Poker and read from the book Gone with the Wind. When Johnny had to leave to get supplies Ponyboy was sleeping so he wrote a note in the dust on the church floor.
