2. Darry

3. Soda

4. Dallas

5. Johnny

A. “I have light-brown, almost red hair and greenish-gray eyes….my hair is longer than a lot of boys wear theirs, squared off in the back and long at the front and sides…”

B. “Soda is handsomer than anyone I know. Not like Darry-Soda is movie-star kind of handsome. He’s not as tall as Darry, and he’s a little slimmer, but he has a finely drawn sensitive face that somehow manages to be reckless and thoughtful at the same time. He’s got dark-gold hair that he combs back-long and silky and straight-and in the summer the sun bleaches it to a shining wheat-gold. His eyes are dark brown-lively, dancing…”

C. “Darry is six-feet-two, and broad shouldered and muscular. He has dark brown hair that kicks out in front and a slight cowlick in the back…He’s got eyes that are like two pieces of pale blue-green ice. They’ve got a determined set to them...”

D. “He had an elfish face, with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, small sharp animal teeth, and ears like a lynx. His hair was almost white is was so blond, and he didn’t like haircuts or hair oil either, so it fell over his forehead in wisps and kicked out in the back in tufts and curled behind his ears and along the nape of his neck. His eyes were blues, blazing ice, cold with a hatred of the whole world.”

E. “If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny. He was the youngest, smaller than the rest, with a slight build. He had big black eyes in a dark tanned face; his hair was jet black and heavily greased and combed to the side, but it was so long that it fell in shaggy bangs across his forehead. He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes…”
