One such moment occurs when Cherry Valance, a Soc girl, asks Ponyboy Curtis, a greaser, to give her a ride on his horse — a pony named “Ponyboy” (the boy’s nickname for the animal). While brief, the image of a girl riding Ponyboy’s pony serves as a poignant symbol of temporary unity across social lines, childhood innocence, and the desire to escape the rigid violence of gang life.
