Describe Ponyboy's tone as he was getting jumped, how do you think he felt?

Ponyboy's tone is apprehensive and anxious. He is nervous that he's walking alone, since Greasers often get jumped by Socs, "the jet set, the West-side rich kids."As soon as he has this thought, a red Corvair starts following him, and he starts sweating and getting scared. Soon he is surrounded by Socs. One of them flips out a knife and asks if Ponyboy needs a haircut; he is overpowered by them, with the knife to his throat, and starts screaming. A scuffle ensues, and Ponyboy is helped to his feet by Darry, his oldest brother. The Greaser gang has chased away the Socs.
