Ponyboy concludes that Johnny takes action to save Ponyboy from drowning at the hands of the Socs with a knife. Ponyboy thinks Cherry must have seen character, pride, and defiance in Dallas's face despite him not being handsome. Ponyboy now believes being a murder suspect on the run is worse than being a greaser. The church gave Ponyboy a creepy premonition that could relate to funerals or disapproval from others. The greasers highly value loyalty because with so little, sticking together makes them feel close like a family. It was loyal but perhaps not smart for Ponyboy to leave with Johnny, though he never considers not going. It may have been self-defense for Johnny but neither boy considers

he does? The Socs are drowning Ponyboy; they have a knife and may kill Pony; they may beat Johnny again as they did before 2. What does Ponyboy conclude Cherry must have seen in Dallas? Although he is not handsome, there is character, pride, and a savage defiance of the world in his face; bad boy appeal 3. What is it that Ponyboy now thinks is worse than being a greaser? Being a murder suspect on the run would be worse, and is.
4. Ponyboy says that the Church
gave him a creepy feeling a premonition. What kind of a premonition might he get in a church? If it is a creepy feeling associated with a church, it could be associated with funerals or with people looking at them with disapproval 5. Throughout the story, loyalty among the greasers is brought up quite often. Why do they place such a high value on loyalty? Because all of them have so little, sticking together makes them feel close, like a family.
6. Was it a smart thing for Ponyboy
to leave with Johnny? He has not committed any crime, but given his feelings about loyalty, he probably never even thinks of not going
7. Was it smart of Johnny to run
away? It sounds as if he would have been able to have a case of self-defense, but apparently this is not something that either of the two boys think of at the time.
