    Literary Analysis How do they act as heroes? The Outsiders By: S.E. Hinton

    The text states, "Johnny looked around, slapping his pockets nervously. 'We gotta get outa here. Get somewhere. Run away. The police'll be here soon'" (57). Hinton is insisting indirectly that Ponyboy is a hero. In several ways, Ponyboy has gallant moments and completes heroic deeds. Gallantly, Ponyboy was a hero to Johnny, mentally and physically, as a supporter after he killed Bob. Ponyboy showed his fidelity to Johnny when he ran away. He helps Johnny survive in an unfamiliar area with the deed of murdering a living person. Therefore, Ponyboy showed his allegiance to Johnny. As said in the text, Johnny is a shy boy looking like he is a lost puppy. Dally states, "'For Pete's sake, get outa there! That roof's gonna cave in any minute. Forget those blasted kids!' I didn't pay any attention, although pieces of the old roof were…

    The Gang's Pet Johnny Quotes

    Johnny’s parents abuse him verbally and physically, and he usually chooses to stay away from his home. He clarifies the theme of family love in the story because his family is the opposite of it. Ponyboy says, “If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would have never known what love and affection are.” I chose this quote because it describes how much Johnny needs the gang. This quote identifies Johnny as a character whose life has been changed because of his peers and how they have helped him.…

    If one had to portray a bully, John’s character perfectly sets the mould for it. He is instantly hated by the entire group the moment he starts speaking to them because of his general attitude towards everyone. He shows no respect for authority as he starts destroying school property the moment he steps foot into the class room. He has an air of reckless carelessness about him which he portrays through his body language and attire. He makes it very clear to everyone present that he is not looking to make any friends and begins to berate and pick on Claire’s character, whom he has feelings for.…

    Dally And Johnny In The Outsiders

    As much as they are alike they both have their many differences, especially when it comes to personalities. For example, Dallas is more of a stereotyped greaser because h is aggressive and tough. Even everybody in their gang tries their hardest to stay on Dally’s good side. Ponyboy says of Dally, “He was cold and hard and mean” (90). Clearly if one of his friends states him as being cold, hard, and mean that means he is one for fighting. Conversely, Johnny is the complete opposite of the stereotyped greaser, he is sensitive, and…

    Theme Of Loyalty In The Outsiders

    Though he would often shy away from daunting social situations or tasks, Johnny performed several rather momentous acts of loyalty in his short life. When Ponyboy was being drowned in the park by the group of drunk Socs (Bob and his friends), Johnny acted out of deep concern for himself and his friend by stabbing Bob. This loyalty to Ponyboy cost him a fairly untarnished criminal record, and later, in the succession of events, his life. Johnny’s life was lost in both this act of loyalty, and another- saving the children from the burning church. After Johnny killed Bob, he and Ponyboy fled to an abandoned church on Jay Mountain. When they came back from a short excursion for food and found the church on fire, Johnny used his loyalty to his own belief of the existence of good in the world, and dove into the fire to save the children. Ponyboy described Johnny’s expression while inside the church, capturing a vague idea of how Johnny may have felt to have been doing something wonderful with his life. “I caught on quick look at his face; it was red-marked from falling embers and sweat-streaked, but he grinned at me… That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes. He looked like he was having the time of his life” (Hinton 92). Finally, Johnny was loyal to one person on a regular basis- Dally. Perhaps not as drastic as sacrificing himself or another, but loyalty all the same. Johnny admired Dally, so much so, that when he was on his own deathbed and Dally told him the one thing he had always wanted to hear -that Dally was proud of him- he was so extremely happy, and he had a bit of peace to keep with him when he…
