This week the Jay Mountain church caught fire. The fire is unknown or how it started. There were five children in the building at the time. They got out safely thanks to the three boys that saved them. The boys names were Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and Dallas Winston. Johnny Curtis and Ponyboy went into the burning fire by going thru the window. They found the five children in the back room. The church collapsed on Johnny Cade. Johnny Cade has a broken back and likely won't be able to walk again. We talked to Ponyboy Curtis. Ponyboy said “it was a no brainer”. He said he wanted to save the kids. Ponyboy said Johnny would have said the same thing. After we talked to Ponyboy we talked to Jerry Wood a teacher
The Native Americans of the Great Plains Religion was all about the Sundance and dreams they had. There were people dancing around a fire ,starting the Sundance with a lady cutting down a tree to start it off. During it they would make sacrifices with people and continually hurt themselves for their horse god. So the gods they worshipped were the horse and buffalo gods because they were the animals they saw the most ,they also had the most benefits from them too. They used pipes and other materials during the Sundance to show where they should go next on their journey and who should they become in the future of their lives like vishions . The Great plains indians were very different from other indians with their horse gods and such violence
Evidence: He then told Ponyboy after Bob was killed that, “...they had a blade...they were gonna beat me up…” (Hinton 57).
After running for a while they stopped in another parking lot with a fountain in the middle. While in the parking lot a blue mustang that belonged to the Socs that beat up Johnny a long time ago pulled up. They stepped out and started to insult Johnny and Ponyboy, Ponyboy snapped back and they grabbed him and shoved his head in the found as stated, “They grabbed my arm and twisted it behind my back, and shoved my face into the fountain. I fought, but the hand at the back of my neck was strong and I had to hold my breath. I’m dying, I thought, and wondered what was happening to Johnny.” This showed that those Socs were even going to kill them just because they talked back, but they were also drunk which also shows how dangerous drunk Socs are. To save Ponyboy Johnny had to kill the Soc and afterwards they both had to run out of town to avoid being arrested. This changed Ponyboys identity into a outlaw.
Johnny Cade, the boy who saved a lot of kids from the burning church died in the year of 1965. He was only 16 years old, and he was born March 1, 1949. He saved at least four to five kids in the burning church. He died because he tried to save all the kids from the burning church but he got burnt trying to save all the kids. A piece of the roof caught on fire and fell on his back, his back was really burnt.
Johnny is not justified in what he did and is guilty because he had the intent to kill. Ponyboy talks about Johnny and the previous attack by saying, “He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body…” (Hinton 34). This shows that Johnny was changed by the previous
On page 57 of The Outsiders, Johnny states, “I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you.” This states that he had to take Bob’s life to protect his friend Ponyboy Curtis. Not only that, he further goes on to state, “They were gonna beat me up.” So if Johnny had not killed Bob, Bob would have harmed Johnny. Bob and the Socs would never keep a witness alive, if Johnny saw Ponyboy get killed, they would have killed Johnny to protect themselves from the law. On page 56, when Johnny
Towards the middle of the story, a boy named Johnny had killed a Soc that was drowning Ponyboy. He and Ponyboy fled the city to another town, and hid in an abandon church there for a week. When they were going to leave, they realized the church was on fire and there was kids trapped inside. Johnny and Pony were good friends and they decided to go help the children. After they rescued the children, they had to escape the burning, ravaged building. A flaming, steaming hot beam from the ceiling fell on Johnny. After this happened, Pony passed out, “ I leaped out the window and heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me. I staggered, almost
In a small town called Windrexville there was recently a fire at an old church on Jay mountain. A small class was going there for a picnic with their gardian Mr. Jerry Wood until a fire started and children were trapped inside. Thankfully, a red car arrived and three young boys rushed out of the car to save the kids while the church was crumbling down.
One choice that had great impact on Ponyboy was Johnny killing the Soc, Bob. The sentence, “ ‘I killed him,’ he said slowly.’ I killed that boy’ ” pg.(56) shows that Johnny didn’t want to kill Bob but he still did. Johnny made this choice because the Socs were drowning Ponyboy. The consequence of Johnny killing Bob was that Johnny and ponyboy run away to not
Being known as the “lost puppy” of the gang has gotten to him, and he needed to show he was not just the quiet young boy of the group. I truly believe Johnny Cade should not be convicted of manslaughter. If your best friend who was always by your side was being drowned what would you do? Well, if I was in this situation I would definitely do anything I could to save my friend, which is just what Johnny did for Ponyboy Curtis.
2.) Johnny's second act of bravery comes on the Mountain where the church was located. The church catches fire.

Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally all begin entering the blazing church. The three boys manage to save all the kids from the fire but unfortunately Johnny gets
On September 25th , 1965 Three Juvenile delinquents named Ponyboy Curtis, Johnny Cade, and Dallas Winston saved five kids from a burning church in Windrixville. The kids were going on a field trip to Windrixville and one of their stops was the St. James church. We interviewed one of the teachers named Brian Quinn and asked what happened. “The kids ran into the church and they were running way ahead and we had to try to keep up. After they ran in the fire began and we called 911,” said Brian. “Before the Fire Department came, two teenagers and a man ran into the church and got the kids out,” said Brian. We then asked one of the kids named Jordy Wheeler what
Two juvenile delinquents from Tulsa, Oklahoma, saved five children from St. Mary’s Catholic Church last Friday afternoon. Witnesses state that students and their families from Windrixville Elementary School were having their annual Autumn Day Picnic on Jay Mountain. Parents and student were warned by facility members to stay out of the church for its structure was weak, and it’s an old church that had been there for almost eighty (80) years. Jill Salono, third grade teacher at Windrixville Elementary, said, “When I realized Justin, Bella, Olivia, Ali, and Timmy [the five children who were stuck in the fire] were missing, my face went cold, I truly couldn’t believe it. How could I have been foolish enough to leave them alone?” She said when her voice was quavering and Mrs. Salono started to cry. “When I heard them scream, I started shacking until Jerry; a good friend of mine stopped and said that he would get them. After that I feel to the ground and just cried.”
The main reason why Johnny killed bob was because Bob was telling david to drown Ponyboy. For example Bob said “ give this greaser a bath”. Also Johnny was going to be drown to death next if he hadn't done anything to stop it. So for nothing to happen to Johnny and Ponyboy Johnny had to do what he had to do.
The boys, Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy were just coming to the church and saw it. It was just a normal afternoon until this happened.
