Contrast Dally's approach to Cherry and Marcia with Pony's in The Outsiders, and contrast Cherrys response to Darry with her response to Darry's?

I believe you have confused Dally with Darry in the second part
of your post, but here goes.


Dally comes on to Cherry the only way
he knows how--tough, crude and sarcastic. He talks dirty to her, and Cherry eventually throws a
soda in his face. However, we find out later that Cherry is actually taken with Dallas Winston,
and she says that she could fall in love with him if she saw him again. She likes dangerous
types, since her boyfriend is the violent yet handsome Soc, Bob Sheldon. So, though the two never
get together, Dally's approach works on Cherry. Needless to say, Dally likes Cherry's spirit and
good looks, but he knows better about mixing with a Soc.


Ponyboy is
younger and shyer, so he talks to both girls as he would schoolmates. He never forgets that he's
a greaser, but he feels important when the girls tell him they feel safe around him. The girls
think Pony is cute--and his brother, Sodapop, even cuter--and Cherry decides that she can talk to
him about anything. Pony feels the same way about Cherry, and she stands up for Ponyboy later in
court. He considers her a friend, though they go back to their own greaser and Soc worlds at the
end of the novel.
