Ponyboy Monologue
" A red haze filled my mind and I slowly relaxed"(P.67)
The switchblade felt cold and foreign in my hand, but I clutched it tightly, desperation driving me forward. I didn't want to hurt anyone, and I didn't want to be part of this senseless violence, but there was no turning back now. I saw the fear in Bob's eyes as the blade sliced through the air, brushing over his throat, making a clean, straight line. Time seemed to slow, each heartbeat reverberating in my ears as the world narrowed down to just me and him. My love for Ponyboy consumed me, and in that moment, I knew I had to protect him at any cost, even if it meant ending Bob's life. He was a bloody brother and nothing could ever break that bond.

Bob, he's the face of their brutality, a constant threat I couldn't just brush off. So, I did what I had to do, to keep breathing in this messed up world.

It hits me that this doesnt put an end to anything, instead it opens a door of endless troubles between Socs and greasers. What have you done to this? Randy roared, he had a look on his face that could only be compared to a wild beast. He looked enraged but also intimidated at the same time. I blurted "I-Im Sorry-" I blurted "Oh greaser, you really have got one coming your way now, don't you...?" he mutters with a vile smirk. He turned away and scurried off with the other Socs into the same blue mustang they arrived
