How Does Johnny Build Suspense In The Outsiders

Without Johnny there would be no suspense. In this essay I will prove to you why Johnny plays/ is the most important character in “The Outsiders,” Without Johnny there would be no climax because the climax was when the church caught caught on fire and the rising action was when Johnny killed Bob.
