Explanation:

In "The Outsiders", Ponyboy is a Greaser. Greasers are from a lower - class background. He has a complex relationship with his brothers (Darry and Sodapop) and is trying to make sense of his life within the Greaser gang and the broader social context. He is constantly grappling with his identity, his place in the family (especially with Darry's strictness which he misinterprets as lack of love at first), and his role in the Greaser sub - culture.

Answer:

Struggling to understand his place in the world and his family.
