The Outsiders Trial
Hi, I am Sodapop Curtis. I am 16 and I am Pony's brother. I am a high school drop out, I dropped out mostly because I was failing at the classes also because I needed to work to keep my family going. I have a ex-girlfriend named Sandy, her dad refuse to let her marry me so they moved. I am very positive and Pony idolizes me. He loves me the most, also I am very nice.
I wasn't there at the time of the murder but here is how I understand it. That night my brother and his best friend Johnny were hanging out with those soc girls, Cherry and Marcia. Then the victim, Bob, and his gang just came out of nowhere and jumped my brother and Johnny. They had no chance to defend themselves. After, that guy David pushed my brother's head into the fountain and claimed to want to give him a bath. However, David refused to let Ponyboy breath and Pony was drowning. Also, Bob had jumped Johnny before and beat him up really bad. I have never seen Johnny cry before but after that Johnny was never the same since, now he is all jumpy and scared. So all Johnny did was to defend himself and Pony. The Socs have been beating the Greasers up forever, they should be punish. That is why I think that Johnny and Pony are innocent.
