Ponyboy describes them as Young hoods who enjoyed being a hood. He says that they would grow up to become old hoods. He thinks that they will only become worse when they get older. This is different than how he views the members of his gang. He uses Dally for contrast saying that Darry wouldn't grow up to be a hood - he wanted to get away. He stereotypes the Brumly boys as being illiterate. He says, "I doubt if half of them can read a newspaper."
