Examples Of Friendship In The Outsiders

In the story “The Outsiders”, Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny spent lonely days together in an old church which strengthened their friendship because there was no one else to talk to and they only had each other. I know this because Ponyboy said to Johnny, “You ain't like any of the gang. I mean, i couldn't tell Two-Bit or Steve or even Darry about the sunrise and clouds and stuff” (Hinton 78). He means that he trusts Johnny and feels Johnny can understand him like Sodapop can and he feels that he can be himself around Johnny and not have to act tuff. Another example is when Ponyboy said, “On the fifth day I had read up to Sherman’s siege of Atlanta in Gone with the Wind, owed Johnny a hundred and fifty bucks from poker games” (Hinton 79).
