He is sensitive because of the abuse that he gets from his parents at home. We also know this because of when he cries in the church. He is uptight when he kills bob. Also when two-bit matthews made the illusion of being an angry soc because pony boy and him "picked up" cherry and Marcia. He is also brave for killing bob and risking his life and also for gong into the burning church and saving the helpless kids.
