My favorite characters are Two-Bit‚ Dally‚ Ponyboy‚ and Johnny. I like these characters because I can either relate to these characters or I find these hilarious characters in this book.

A hero is someone who puts his life on the line to save others. He might be afraid but he will not back off. When everyone else runs away from the disaster or the enemy‚ he runs towards it. Ponyboy fits my definition of a Hero perfectly because he said "’I’ll get them‚ don’t worry! I started at a dead run
