Who is the novel's narrator and the youngest Curtis boy?

• A. Darry
• B. Ponyboy
• C. Sodapop
• D. Two-Bit

Answer: (B)

Ponyboy is the narrator because the story is told from his first-person perspective, with him narrating the events and sharing his thoughts and feelings as they unfold. He describes life with his two older brothers, Darry and Sodapop, which makes him the youngest Curtis boy. Darry is the oldest, Sodapop the middle, and Ponyboy is fourteen at the start, confirming his place as the youngest. Two-Bit is a friend, not a Curtis brother, so he isn’t the narrator.
