(Hinton Page 11) This was when Johnny was still scared of Bob and was depressed to the point of mentioning killing himself if he didn’t see any action (which kept him sane). This was when Johnny was protected by older Greasers (Dally‚ Two-Bit‚ and even Darry)‚ although Darry wasn’t a Greaser he seems to care about Johnny‚ this was when anyone could push him around when he was quiet and kept to himself. Later on‚ in the text‚ it said: “But Johnny‚ except for the fact that his hands were twitching‚ looked

Both his brothers are drop outs and all his friends don’t seem to apply themselves well. Being around people who don’t want to apply or work hard in school may change Ponyboy’s ambitions. Even if Ponyboy stayed in school he would still be caught up in the greaser and Soc rivalry. Having all that violence would probably sidetrack

The film The "Mammy" Stereotype of Black Women in Ethnic Notions shows an important era for Black people in television.
