A hero is someone who has pride and is committed to putting others before themselves. Heroes risk their own lives to save others. In the book The Outsiders, the greasers are not considered heroes. All three of the boys; Dally, Johnny and Ponyboy are heroes by my definition. I believe that Johnny Cade is a hero because he went into the burning church and he died saving those kids. He had no fear going into the church, he was only thinking about saving the kids. Johnny suffered from severe burns and

I think what made the movie very effective was that it was based on real people who do not necessarily fit into the stereotype of being smart in math.
