They have their troubles through out the way but they help each other and have each others back no matter what. They need to in the book because the socs pic on them and beat them up and if they were not there for each other later in the book pony boy would died drowned and died. This book is very good it has a lot of action and fights which i like the most even if the greasers don't always win. In the end the Outsiders ends up begging a good book and I would encourage anyone who likes action to read
