QuestionAnswer
What were the boys’ reasons for fighting (Darry, Steve, Soda, and Two-Bit) Darry: Pride, Soda: Fun, Two-Bit: Conformity, Steve: Hatred
Identify Paul Holden by giving at least three descriptions. Former co-captain of the football team with Darry, they used to be best friends but due to their social class differences, now hate each other.
Why did Randy want to talk to Pony? He couldn’t believe a Greaser would risk his life like that, he would not have gone into the fire to rescue the kids, Bob was his best friend and a really great guy, despite what he had done to the Greasers, and he would not be participating in the rumble
What additional problem did the three brothers face after Pony’s return? He feared that he and Sodapop would be placed into separate boys’ homes and away from Darry.
How do we know Dally felt at least partially responsible for Johnny’s fate? Dally told Ponyboy in the car that he should not have protected Johnny so much and kept him from getting “hard.” If he had let him toughen up, then he wouldn’t be hurt like this.
What did Pony decide was the reason Dally couldn’t process/take Johnny’s death? Dally just lost the only thing (person) he had ever loved.
Johnny’s letter made several points. What were they? To stay gold and innocent, the poem means that things do not last forever (ex: childhood), It was worth saving the children, To not worry about being a Greaser because Pony still has his whole life ahead of him, and to tell Dally to look at a sunset
What happened to Ponyboy on his way home from the movies? Pony was jumped by a group of Socs who were riding in a blue mustang, they threatened to cut his hair off, and the Greasers came and scared them away
Who did Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy meet at the Nightly Double (the movie theater)? Cherry Valance and Marcia
Contrast Dally’s approach to Cherry and Marcia with Pony’s. Dally is tuff, crude, and obnoxious, while Pony is kind, respectful, polite, and understanding
Why were Cherry and Marcia alone at the drive-in? They were alone because their boyfriends, Bob and Randy, were out drinking.
What had happened to Johnny prior to the time of this story? Johnny had been beaten up badly by a gang of Socs, the one to beat up him the worst was Bob, who wore brass rings.
Why was Pony late coming home from the Nightly Double? Pony was late because he and Johnny had fallen asleep in the lot after talking and watching the stars.
What caused Pony to “run away?” Where did he go? Ponyboy ran away after Darry screamed at him and slapped him in the face. As a result, Ponyboy ran to the park.
What happened to Johnny and Pony at the park? The blue mustang pulled up and the Socs showed up, nearly drowning Pony. As a result, Johnny killed Bob with his switchblade, and the other Socs ran away.
Why was Pony upset about getting a haircut? Pony’s hair was what identified him as a Greaser; it was his identity and pride
What was Johnny’s favorite part of Gone With the Wind? Who did it remind him of? The description of the Southern gentleman was his favorite part. He admired how they rode off to war and how it reminded him of Dally, who he said was gallant.
What did Johnny announce after his fifth barbecue sandwich? He told Pony and Dally that they should turn themselves in and return home.
What happened when Johnny, Pony, and Dally returned to the church? The church was on fire (possibly from a cigarette left behind), Pony and Johnny ran into the church to rescue the kids, Dally helped pull kids through the window, Dally tackled Ponyboy to put out the fire on his coat, the roof collapsed on Johnny and brok
