Describe each of the characters and their relationship with one another.only the characters introduced from the first chapter

PONYBOY CURTIS. The youngest of the Curtis brothers, Pony is an avid reader, writer and movie goer. He worships Soda but fights constantly with Darry. Johnny is his best pal, and he is fairly close with Two-Bit.


DARRY CURTIS.  The eldest Curtis brother, he is a roofer who works two jobs to support his other brothers. Tall and muscular, he is a former football star who gave up college ambitions to work instead.


SODAPOP CURTIS.  Handsome Soda is a high school dropout who works in a gas station. He gets along well with everyone, though his best friend is Steve Randle.


JOHNNY CADE.  Quiet and introspective, Johnny was beaten by Socs and is wary of strangers. He is the "mascot" of the gang, liked by all. He is closest with Pony and Dallas.


DALLAS WINSTON.  A tough New York native, Dallas is proud of his street savvy and past criminal record. He is closest to Johnny, who he treats like a kid brother.


STEVE RANDLE.  A minor character, Steve is best friends with Soda; they work together at the same gas station. His specialty is cars--working on them and stealing parts from them.


TWO-BIT MATHEWS.  Two-Bit is close friends with Pony and Johnny and is the second oldest (next to Darry). Likable and talkative, Two-Bit shoplifts regularly and always carries a switchblade.
