Ponyboy is experiencing an

between
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the
darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my
mind: Paul Newman and a ride home. I was wishing I
looked like Paul Newman - he looks tough and I don't -
but I guess my own looks aren't so bad. I have light
brown, almost-red hair and greenish-gray eyes. I wish
they were more gray, because I hate most guys that have
green eyes, but I have to be content with what I have. My
hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs, squared off in
back and long at the front and sides, but I am a greaser
and most of my neighborhood rarely bothers to get a
haircut. Besides, I look better with long hair.
