Paraphrase:
What Ponyboy really meant by this quote is that Dally and him are from the same group, the greasers. Greasers stand up for each other and even though Dallas can be rough and mean, the gang always sticks together.
Inference:

Paraphrase:
What Cherry means when she says "all Socs aren't like that," is that just because a few of them beat up a guy, it doesn't make the rest of them bad like that. She explains that everyone has his or her own personality and you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Inference:
What this quote tells us about Cherry is that she is protective of what she has. She sees some things in a different way than others do and she is defending her thoughts. She is caring and she would like others to see things from her point of view.

Paraphrase:
What Ponyboy really meant by this quote is that even if you should be different and you think that you different from another group, it doesn't mean that you have completely different thoughts and interests.
Inference:
This quote tells us that Ponyboy is starting to become open-minded and is seeing things from a different perspective. Hanging out with these girl Socs, he is realizing that people can be the same, even though they might look and seem different, not every Soc is as bad as you may think. People can have the same thoughts no matter who it might be.
