Sodapop Curtis

Sodapop Patrick Curtis is a supporting protagonist of S.E. Hinton's 1967 book The Outsiders, its 1983 film adaptation and its 1990 TV series. He is the brother of Ponyboy and Darry Curtis.

==Biography==
Sodapop is a sixteen-year old Greaser who lives with his two brothers, Ponyboy and Darry on the lower-class east side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is the middle child of the family. His parents were killed in an automobile accident just eight months before The Outsiders story takes place. Sodapop, like Ponyboy, is under Darry's legal custody and must stay out of trouble in order to remain with him.
==Appearance==
In the novel, Sodapop is said to be "movie star handsome", and has silky, dark gold hair that he combs back. He has dark brown eyes and a goofy grin that "you can't help but love".
==Personality==
Sodapop is fun-loving and caring, especially to Ponyboy, who idolizes him. He has a good relationship with both of his brothers, and cannot stand seeing them fight, as he feels like he would be forced to pick sides. He is attractive to girls, who go to the gas station just to stare at him. Unlike others in their neighborhood, he does not drink alcohol; instead, Ponyboy describes that he "gets drunk on just plain living". 
In the beginning of the book, he is dating a girl named Sandy. He is heartbroken when he finds that she cheated on him and was moving to Florida.
When he was twelve, Sodapop worked in a stable, where he befriended a horse named Mickey Mouse. He cried all night long after Mickey Mouse was sold, and thinks about him regularly.
