Everyone is present. Johnny calls Ponyboy and whispers something in his ear. Then he takes his last breath and dies. As reality hits home, we all leave the hospital. Not much later we receive a call from Dally, saying he robbed a grocery store and that we should meet him at the park.
Darry slaps Ponyboy, and after soon regrets it because Pony runs out and tells Johnny that they’re running away. Once they get to where they want to go the same Socs that tried to jump them earlier go at them again, and Johnny kills one, Pony and
Putting his dangerous actions aside, Cherry distinguished him as one with a good nature, but inferior persona as well, that was seen by Curtis. The adolescent viewed people in ways others did not consider, despite mistakes they made along the way. Moreover Valance descried the “. . . same things in Dallas. That was why she was afraid to see him, afraid of loving him, I knew what she meant all right.
As Ponyboy mindlessly runs away, “I turned and ran out the door as fast as I could.(50)” because he’s completely outraged that Darry slapped him, he rushes to Johnny. They arrive at the park at around 2:30 am. The boys start talking when suddenly 5 Socs jump out of a
It is understandable that sending Ponyboy and Sodapop to a Boys Home might be beneficial. Everyday is a struggle for the brothers, and the world is, indeed, dangerous. But, on the other hand, Darry is perfectly capable of providing a
“Don’t worry, Ponyboy, we’ll be able to survive,” he said. “It’ll be hard, but we can do it.” Right now, I don’t know what to do, I thought to myself.
And Dally walks off. I think this destroyed their friendship because Johnny took the girls side, not his friends side, which can really mess up the relationship.
“We’re all we’ve got left. We ought to be able to stick together against everything. If we don’t have eachother, we don’t have anything.” The quote is significant by connecting to an Essential question because Ponyboy and Darry’s relationship has been strained since their partners died and Darry became responsible for his little
Then he went to talk with Cherry and he ask her If she already went to see Johnny but she said that “she couldn’t never see the person who killed her boyfriend”. Ponyboy got mad and told her “you’re a traitor to your own kind and not loyal to fus. Do you think your spying for us makes up the fact that you are sitting there in a Corvette while your brother drops out of school to get a job”.
Darry didn 't care about Ponyboy before he ran away. After he comes back, Darry tries to be a caring brother for Ponyboy which is a fine thing to
(Hinton 174) Here, Pony realizes that their relationship isn't all that good. He thought about the fact that he “never had paid much attention to Soda’s problems.” Darry too was surprised to hear this and goes on to ask Pony why Soda didn’t tell him, because he thought Soda told Pony everything. Pony notices the fact that he might’ve tried to.
Pony struggled to understand why Darry was so mean to him but, it was mostly because Darry saw potential in him. When Pony realizes Darry’s love for him Darry begins to soften up. Darry gave his brothers a good life. Darry is a little more hero than anyone else in The
Maybe it is rough all over, but it really was better off that way. In addition to that Pony says "So Cherry Valance, the cheerleader, Bob's girl, the Soc, was trying to help us. No, it wasn't Cherry the Soc who was helping us, it was Cherry the dreamer who watched sunsets and couldn't stand fights." (86) This shows that Ponyboy is starting to realize that there is no difference between the two groups.
you don't look that well¨ ¨Yeah, Darry I’m fine, why wouldn't I be okay, just that I have a very small headache, nothing to worry about ¨ Well to be honest I look at Ponyboy and well I did not think he was okay, but when he said he had a headache, to be sincere I did not want to take him to the rumble with us, but I did not want to make him feel bad, so I went to the store and bought some aspirins for his headache. I got back from the store and handed Pony the aspirins and got him some water. We were in our way to the rumble, and when we got there I was just
