Similarities Between Johnny And Ponyboy

Fast forwarding to the part in the church, Johnny had run into the church for two reasons. One is that he wanted to help and the other is that he was going to keep Ponyboy safe no matter what happened and he did a great job of it.

While at a movie theater, Dally is antagonizing and annoying several Soc girls. Johnny stands up to Dally, his hero, and states, “‘Leave her alone, Dally.’ ‘Huh?’ Dally was taken off guard. He stared at Johnny in disbelief. Johnny couldn't say ‘Boo’ to a goose. Johnny gulped and got a little pale, but he said, ‘You heard me. Leave her alone’” (24). It took all of Johnny’s bravery to stand up to his absolute idol. He was willing to stand up to a dangerous boy that could easily defeat him in a fight, to save others. Not only this, but when a church is burning down with children inside, Ponyboy states, ”Johnny wasn't behaving at all like his old self. ... he grinned at me. He wasn't scared either. That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes” (92). Johnny gives his own life for kids who have futures. He charges into the church at full speed when necessary. Johnny becomes brave in the middle of the

Johnny would do anything to save his friends. After Dally drove Pony and Johnny to eat some much- needed food. They came back to see the church that Johnny and Pony were hiding out in on fire. There was a school having a picnic there. Some of the kids trapped inside the church. Without saying anything, Pony jumped out of the car and ran into the burning church with Johnny behind him. Right after saving the kids, Pony described, ‘‘Johnny shoved me out the window. ‘Get out!’ I leaped out the window and I heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me” (Hinton 97). Instead of saving himself, Johnny pushed Pony out the window and saved him. Johnny puts others before himself and is willing to risk his life for others. This act is truly heroic.

After running for a while they stopped in another parking lot with a fountain in the middle. While in the parking lot a blue mustang that belonged to the Socs that beat up Johnny a long time ago pulled up. They stepped out and started to insult Johnny and Ponyboy, Ponyboy snapped back and they grabbed him and shoved his head in the found as stated, “They grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back, and shoved my face into the fountain. I fought, but the hand at the back of my neck was strong and I had to hold my breath. I’m dying, I thought, and wondered what was happening to Johnny.” This showed that those Socs were even going to kill them just because they talked back, but they were also drunk which also shows how dangerous drunk Socs are. To save Ponyboy Johnny had to kill the Soc and afterwards they both had to run out of town to avoid being arrested. This changed Ponyboys identity into a outlaw.

I hadn’t realized Johnny had been right behind me all the way.”(91) Ponyboy realizes when they are running into the church to save the schoolchildren that Johnny is right behind him. I think what motivated Johnny to come in inside the church was not only because he felt guilty, just like Ponyboy, but he felt something inside of him that said he had to clean up the mess he made by just going into the church and try to save as many lives as possible. Also, Johnny didn’t want Ponyboy to go in alone, because Johnny was responsible for the fire as well. Adding on to this, Johnny doesn’t run into the church to get a title of a “hero,” he does it because he doesn’t want to get into a bigger mess, so he feels like he should risk his own life and save the children because he started this in the first

Then Ponyboy runs out the door, finds Johnny, and goes to the park. There, however, the two young greasers run into randy and bob, with a huge group of their Socs friends. One of the Socs friends hold pony boy’s head under a cold water fountain, and Ponyboy blacks out. When he comes to, he is lying on the ground next to Johnny. The bloody corps of bob is next to them. To save Ponyboy, Johnny had to kill bob.

To begin, Johnny is innocent for the murder of Bob concidering that Bob was killing Johnny’s third party Ponyboy, leaving Johnny to use self defence. “ ‘I had

Doe Zantamata once says, “Differences and similarities are equally as easy to see, it mostly depends on which ones you are seeking to find.” In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton two of the main characters, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston or Dally, have many similarities and many differences. Johnny and Dally both have bad and abusive parents, and they think of the gang like their family. The differences are, Johnny is not a fighter and does not enjoy fighting like Dally does. Johnny dies a hero and Dally dies a violent hoodlum. If Johnny and Dally are exactly the same or very different, the story would be very different and a lot of key parts in the story would not be the same and as meaningful.

He sacrifices himself to save his friends and innocent children, and also shows no regret for it, despite losing his own life, shown in his dialogue ‘It’s worth saving those kids, their lives are worth more than ours’ (page 216) This demonstrates that he no longer fears death and that he feels that his life was not wasted because he saved the children. Johnny also ran into the church with Ponyboy, demonstrating that he would do anything at the side of his friends. This helps the reader to understand many of the key themes in the novels, as it shows that the bond that the gang shares is stronger than any other bond they

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

In the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, one of the characters Johnny winds up in the hospital and the other character Ponyboy, is frightened that he’s gonna die. Ponyboy and Johnny have a relationship with each other. One that lasted for an endless path. Ponyboy knew if Johnny would die, he would probably have to face the Socs himself, when they came by.

We see the true extent of Johnnyś loyalty when the group of socs attack Pony and Johnny in the empty lot, as one the of the the boys is drowning Pony in the well Johnny stabbed Bob (the leader of the socs) to death in order to save Ponyboyś life.

Towards the middle of the story, a boy named Johnny had killed a Soc that was drowning Ponyboy. He and Ponyboy fled the city to another town, and hid in an abandon church there for a week. When they were going to leave, they realized the church was on fire and there was kids trapped inside. Johnny and Pony were good friends and they decided to go help the children. After they rescued the children, they had to escape the burning, ravaged building. A flaming, steaming hot beam from the ceiling fell on Johnny. After this happened, Pony passed out, “ I leaped out the window and heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me. I staggered, almost

Jonny, as Ponyboy, is a legend in his own particular one of a kind way. Johnny is an awesome case of chivalry since he demonstrates that everyone has gallant characteristics of valiance boldness and support within them and all it takes is an occasion to bring the qualities out. One critical illustration is that amid the section when the congregation is ablaze Johnny spares school youngsters as well as spares Ponyboy by driving Ponyboy out of the congregation abandoning him self in awesome threat of being smashed by the building's falling timbers. Ponyboy depicts it like this; "Johnny pushed me in reverse towards the window… [and screamed] get out." This demonstrates Johnny's dauntlessness and bravery on the grounds that the building was caving in and going to pulverize him. Another demonstration of chivalry that Johnny submits is that he stays standing for two young ladies

The boys were returning from lunch out when they saw that the church was aflame. They went to talk to a school teacher and he explained that they were having a school picnic when they saw the church. Everyone around heard screaming inside so Ponyboy and Johnny gallantly ran inside to save whoever it was. They found where the screaming came from and threw the unharmed kids out of the window, but got into some trouble themselves. Ponyboy made it out with a concussion and a couple burns. Johnny, however, had a burning timber fall on his back, paralyzing him and many 3rd-degree burns which unfortunately killed him. He died a hero,
