Heroes are strong and brave like Ponyboy (in the “Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton). Heroes are someone that puts their life in danger for another to save them. Such as Ponyboy who is a hero because he saved all the children in the burning church. Also with Johnny he kills someone, but it is done in heroism to save his friend from being drowned. Other People, like Bob, are not a hero but a villain because he just does mean things to people for entertainment for himself. This is why to me Ponyboy is a hero in the story.

Pony is a naturally nice person that likes to help. Ponyboy is nice because he cares of others and not just himself. As showed here After Ponyboy scares off the Soc’s while at the front of the store he picks up the glass he broke
