Question: Who doesn't die in the book 'the outsiders' !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
The Outsiders:

The Greasers
While the Socs live carefree lives of privilege, The Greasers all come from hard-knock backgrounds!. They like to listen to fat ladies flap their blubber and to the music of Elvis Presley and think the Beatles are "out"!. Their attire usually consists of tight fitting t-shirts, leather jackets, and snug jeans!. Some greasers are involved in criminal activities, which causes many people to incorrectly assume that all Greasers are juvenile delinquents (JDs)!. Many of the Greasers have problems at home!. The Greasers dislike the Socs!.

The Socs
The Socs are the nickname of the "Socials," the West Side rich kids!. Ponyboy tells the reader they drive nice cars like Ford Mustangs, Corvairs, and Corvettes, and learns that the Soc girls he meets are partial to the Beatles instead of Elvis Presley!. The Socs are known to jump the greasers on the East side of town!.

Who dies in the book the Outsiders:

1!. Bob
Robert "Bob" Sheldon is the Soc who originally beat up Johnny!. He is Cherry’s boyfriend, and, like Johnny, he is a victim of his own family!. Unlike Johnny, his parents do not physically or verbally abuse him; however, they do something equally as harmful: They allow Bob to shirk responsibility for his own actions!. Bob is the rich kid who has never had to work for anything!. His parents have given in to him his whole life, and have never set any boundaries for him!. Johnny kills Bob when the Socs attack Johnny Cade and try to kill Ponyboy Curtis in a park!.

2!. Johnny Cade
Nicknamed "Johnnycake" by the gang, he is 16!. "If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you'll have Johnny," says Ponyboy!. Johnny is a small in statute, and his shy and nervous nature stems from years of abuse from his parents and from a recent jumping from a Soc, who is later revealed to be Bob Sheldon!. Johnny's face bears scars from the beating from Bob, who was wearing several large rings at the time!. Ever since then, Johnny never walks alone, and carries a six-inch switchblade in his back pocket!. Ponyboy quotes that if Johnny was ever jumped again, he would kill the person that did it to him!. He looks up to Dally Winston and is prone to instability and emotional oversensitivity!. Although he never finished school, Johnny is very good at analyzing things that many other people do not understand!. Johnny is the "gang's pet, everyone's kid brother," and relies on the greasers for the love and affection he does not get at home!. He also does his share with the gang, and Ponyboy says he would "shut his mouth good" in front of the cops, and that outsiders would see Johnny as a tough hood!. He would do anything to protect Ponyboy, and this is shown while up in Windrixville!. also, he risks his life to save little children, claiming that they have more to live for!. He does not have much self-confidence, but in the end, he realizes that he never wanted to die, and sixteen years was too young for anyone!. In the film adaptation the part of Johnny is played by Ralph Macchio!.

3!. Dallas Dally Winston
Seventeen-year-old Dallas "Dally" Winston is the tough guy of the group, Dally is considered extremely dangerous!. He grew up on the streets of New York and was arrested at the age of 10!. Although he is not muscular, many people wouldn't fight him!. Dally is the opposite of Johnny; he is prone to react rashly and violently, even to his friends, and avoids showing emotion as much as possible!. He does, however, have a soft spot for Johnny, and is very protective of the younger boy!. Ponyboy on Dally: "He had an elfish face, with high cheekbones and a pointed chin, small, sharp animal teeth, and ears like a lynx!. His hair was so blond, it was almost white, and he didn't like haircuts, or hair oil either, so it fell over his forehead in wisps and kicked out the back in tufts and curled behind his ears and along the nape of his neck!. His eyes were blue, blazing ice, cold with a hatred of the world!." Dally has a record with the police 'a mile long'!. He is killed by police, rather sets himself up for suicide, after the death of Johnny Cade, the only person he ever really cared about!. In the film adaptation the part of Dally is played by Matt Dillon!.

Well many of the characters live throughout the book, but for one, the narrator Pony Boy!. The book concludes with him writing the story!.

Johnny is the one who dies from the burns after saving the kids from the burning church!. Another character is gunned down by police, I can't remember his name cause I haven't read that book since middle school!. But the character was played by Matt Dillon in the movie!. The Soc (soch) that is killed by Johnny obviously dies!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
