They are bombarded with reporters, and Darry finally gets them to be left alone because Pony wasn 't’ feeling well. Pony takes a nap on Darry’s lap, and then the doctor finally came with news of Johnny and Dally. Dally would be good to go in a few days after his burns are taken care of, meanwhile Johnny is in critical condition, with not a great chance of making it out of there.

Pony sees the article about him in the paper, and realizes he needs to be present at court for his actions.This risks the chance of the three brothers being allowed to continue living together.

Soda tells Pony that they are going to have a party after the rumble where the greasers get rid of the Socs for good, after this everyone leaves and Two-bit is left to babysit Pony. While out with Two-bit, Pony spots a few Socs, Randy (Marcia’s boyfriend) being one of them. Randy asks …show more content…
He asks for a copy of “Gone With the Wind”, which Pony makes Dally go get for him. Soon, they had to leave, and Johnny’s mother was there to see him. Though, Johnny was reluctant about seeing her. Then, Two-bit and Pony went to see Dally who is doing better, and he even asks Two-bit for his switchblade because he plans on escaping the hospital in order to attend the rumble. Pony isn’t feeling well, and begs Two-bit not to say anything so that he can still go to the rumble. On their way back, they see Cherry who tells them the Socs are willing to fight fairly, without weapons, and that Randy will not be at the rumble. Pony and Cherry get into a misunderstanding because Cherry says she is unable to visit Johnny because he is Bob’s
Johnny took action by stabbing the soc and killing him. So johnny and ponyboy started panicking and they went to visit dally. Dally gave them a safehouse money and a gun to keep them safe. The boys migrate to that safe house and stayed there untill dally
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”.
Pony made it clear since the beginning of the story that he did not really like or trust Dally. He believed that Dally was never up to any good and always caused trouble no matter what he did. However, Johnny and Pony both knew that Dally was a hardened criminal and has most likely dealt with a situation like this before. It turns out they were right and Dally knew exactly what to do. Dally instructed them to go to a nearby town by the name of Windrixville and hide there for a week to wait for the whole situation to die down.
Many think Pony boy has a rough life. He even has his brothers with him at tough times. Just like the rumble how two bit 's, Darry and Pony boy fought the Socs. Then, the greasers win the rumble against the Socs. Therefore, Pony boy will be better with his brothers than foster care.

Darry has given up his college education and is now giving that chance to Ponyboy. Now thanks to Darry, Pony, Soda and himself can stay together since they are all that they have left family
The biggest influence in shaping Ponyboy’s identity was his loyalty to his gang as throughout the book the author shows just how loyal Ponyboy is. To begin with, in the story, Darry did not want Ponyboy to go to the rumble because he was quite beat up. However, Ponyboy really believed he should go because they were down in numbers and he wanted to fight for his gang anyway. In the text it said, “Oh, no, I thought in mortal fear, I’ve got to be in it. Right then the most important thing in my life was helping us whip the Socs.”
In the past, as the story begins, Darry hurts Ponyboy by his words and actions. But when he comes back home, Darry shows his love and care for his brother. Darry always was a strict and rude brother to Ponyboy. But after he realizes the stress Ponyboy has been going through because of him, he decided to make it up to him. He decided to be a kind and loving brother like Soda.
When Darry and Soda find out that Ponyboy has ran away soda writes Ponyboy a letter. In the letter Soda show he cares about Ponyboy by saying " Darry and me nearly went nuts when you ran out like that". That statement indicates that Darry and Soda were worried about Ponyboy. When Ponyboy comes back home after being in the hospital Soda starts to become more cautious about
A coming of age novel is not like an ordinary story. A coming of age story is about a child/teen transitioning from being small and naive, to becoming a mature, wise adult. There are many hardships during this process. Usually a large event will greatly impact the way that a person sees the world and others around him. In the novel “The Outsiders”, the main character, Ponyboy, goes from being a punk in the gang “the Greasers”, to being a wiser and more sophisticated young man.
This is when Ponyboy begins to trust Cherry when he realizes she is not like all the other socs. He realizes that socs are not just rich kids, but they also have tough lives. When Cherry and Ponyboy realize that they both enjoy watching sunsets, he realizes that they have more in common than he thought. Another example of when Ponyboy begins to change his opinion of the Socs is on page 118. Right before the Rumble, Randy talks to Ponyboy.
Dally helped Ponyboy out by knocking the fire off of him so he does not get burned. He saved Johnny from the burning church. But it was not enough to make it out alive. Dally always wanted to protect Johnny and Pony so he made sure that no one laid a finger on them. When they ran off.
He realizes that there is more in life than just the Socs and greasers. Johnny shows that to pony when he says, “ I don’t mind dying now… It’s worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more mine…” (pg.178)
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.
“Since Mom and Dad were killed in an auto wreck, the three of us only get to stay together only as long as we behave. So Soda and I stay out of trouble as much as we can" (3). This is important because it shows how close Ponyboy and Soda are to getting separated and how hard they have to work to stay together although they are family they are friends too. This is also important because if Ponyboy and Soda were taken from their home then it would not only affect Darry, but Dally, Two-Bit and
