If they had stopped to listen to Ponyboy’s personality and manner of speech, they would have judged him much differently.
Even when he is around cops, he stands up for the gang of boys and does not turn the boys in. He makes sure that the boys are safe from the cops and trouble, and he remains a good example for the boys. Another reason that shows why Johnny is a hero is the letter he writes before he dies. In the letter he says that “ ‘It’s worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more than mine, they have more to live for’ ”

In page 56 it states “ I’m drowning, I thought, they’ve gone too far …” and “ I killed him,” he said slowly. “I killed that boy.” This shows where Johnny saved Ponyboy from drowning.

In the text it states “ He looked over his shoulder and saw that the door was blocked by the flames, then pushed open the window and tossed out the nearest kid.”

Throughout the book, Ponyboy comes to understand that people are more complex than their superficial appearance or economic status might suggest. He learns to attempt to understand where others are coming from and to look beyond all the stereotypes and prejudices he had grown up with.
