Choose and sketch a symbol that represents ponyboy, sodapop, darry, johnny, cherry, two-bit, dallas (dally) and randy

Ponyboy - book

He is the thinker and dreamer of the group. A book would be the perfect symbol for him as he values his education and loves to read. He chose to write a book for his English theme.

Sodapop - rope for tug of war

Soda says he constantly feels as though he is being pulled in two different directions when Darry and Ponyboy fight. He does not like to be the man in the middle.

Darry - Atlas holding the rock

This would be a good symbol for Darry as he feels that he is responsible for anything that happens to the family and in part also anything that happens with the rest of the Greasers. He gave up what could've been a college education when his parents died to stay home and keep the family together. This responsibility weighs on him just like Atlas's rock.

Johnny - puppy

Johnny is a scared puppy. Ponyboy calls him the "pet" of the gang. They are always looking out for him. He is not wanted at home and is frequently abused when he is home.

Cherry - two different colored cherries, black and white

This would be a good symbol for cherry, because her name is Cherry. They should be different colors: black and white. On the one hand she is a Soc and seen as pure and good by society. However, she also supports the Greasers by spying for them and testifying on behalf of Ponyboy.

Two-Bit - Mickey Mouse or Chocolate Cake

Two-Bit is still a child. Even though he's an older member of the group, he is resistant to growing up. He would choose to eat dessert for every meal and loves watching Mickey Mouse cartoons. One of these symbols would be best because it represents his childlike behaviors.

Dallas - fist

Dally is always looking for a fight. He is constantly antagonizing people. Cherry sees through his bravado and sees that he is just sad and lonely. However, his constant aggression gets him into all kinds of trouble.

Randy - football letter jacket

This represents Randy's jock and Soc status. It shows his socio-economic standing as well as the possibility for him to attend college as a jock. At the end of the novel, he tries to shed this label.
