"So even Dally has a breaking point!."

3) Ponyboy believes that other Greasers will end up like Dally because of how they look at life, and how they take it: violent and desperate!.

4) Ponyboy ended up in the hospital because he and Dally went to see Johnny there!.

5) Ponyboy's first tought after waking up was that his house was very quiet!. Then he remembered that something had happened, but he couldn't remember what exactly!.

1) Ponyboy realized that he'd never known Bob, and that he hadn't even known what color his eyes were!.

2) Randy wanted to see Ponyboy to see if Pony was all right, and also to talk about the hearing!.

3) Ponyboy kept saying that he killed Bob because he was messed up mentally and emotionally, and he was confused about what had happened that night!.

4) The judge's questions surprised Ponyboy because the judge asked him about school and his grades instead of Bob dying, which is what Ponyboy thought they were going to ask him about since that's what the hearing was about!.

5) Darry yelled at Ponyboy because Pony fell asleep in the lot and he didn't get home till late!. Sodapop got upset because Darry and Ponyboy were both trying to get Sodapop on their side, and Soda felt like they were trying to pull him into two pieces!. also, Soda was already upset because his girlfriend broke up with him after cheating on him with another guy!.

6) Johnny told Ponyboy that it was worth dying to help people, and that Ponyboy should never get used to life, and take it for granted!. Johnny also wanted Ponyboy to show Dally that life isn't all bad, and that there is a lot of good in the world!. He just has to look for it himself!.

7) Ponyboy decided to make his English theme a tribute to his two friends!. His English theme is the whole book!. The last line of the book is the same as the first: "Whenn I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
