=**Sodapop Curtis**=


 * Sodapop Curtis, the funny, ignorant, yet the most persistent character you will hear of.**
 * With Soda's great traits he is a very exquisite example for a greaser.**


 * As I said before, Soda is very humorous. A good example for that is he loves to mess with the gang. In fact, at one point in the book he did a cartwheel off the porch and yelled, "I'm a Greaser... I like to mug people, and do stupid things!" He brings many different meanings to the word "funny." Another example is when he is trying to be funny he brings silliness into it. An even better word is clumsy. He tries to show off and messes up and it is funny.**


 * Although Soda can be funny at times, he is also very ignorant. What I mean by that is he dropped out of school. He said it himself in fact, in these exact words, " Pony... I'm dumb, I couldn't finish school so I dropped out." Even though the boy dropped out, he got a job as a mechanic, and he is very skilled at it too. If he actually tried in school he probably would have passed.**


 * Lastly Soda is very persistent. What I mean by that is he is at a very young age and is set on marrying Sandy. Even though later in the story he probably wants to move to Florida where she moved to. That is not the only thing he is persistent about. He is also very persistent about protecting Pony.**


 * Even though Soda can have some very bad and good traits... he is still my favorite character.**
