Analysis Of Johnny In The Outsiders

The hero is someone who saves us from something bad. In The Outsiders By S.E Hinton the heros are Dally,Johnny,and Ponyboy. What happened in the book was in the beginning of the book Johnny was Dallyś favorite because Johnny was very nice and also johnny had died a hero because he saved kids from a burning church. Dally showed his anger about johnny dieng check for spelling and Ponyboy was sad but he didn't want to show his anger. At the end Dally dies because he robbed a store and the cops were looking and chasing after him but instead Dally decided to die and kill himself. Johnny,Dally,and Ponyboys are heroes because they did their best to save people.

In The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, Johnny Cade is a very dynamic character that was referred to as a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, but is yet known as a happy go lucky type of kid. Johnny’s parents didn’t care about what he did, his father was abusive, and his mother just doesn’t care what he does unless he does something wrong, then she would yell at him. Johnny is the life of the gang, even though he is the most quiet and shy. Throughout the story the book shows how people helped him and how he helped others, including Ponyboy. Johnny Cade was 16, had long, jet black bangs, and has big black eyes. Johnny was a greaser that didn’t like to fight, but would if it came down to it. Johnny is a jumpy kid, he is always on the lookout for a group of Socs (a rival gang) that are ready to jump him. One night Johnny and Ponyboy met these girls, Cherry, and Marcia. They saw a movie together and when it was over they walked them home. As they were walking home, a car came around, and it was a group of Socs. Johnny looked worried because it was the same people that had jumped him. All they did was picked up the girls and didn’t say a word.

Johnny was a hero too because before Pony and him stayed at the church. The socs came to Pony and Johnny about why were they walking their girlfriends home. Since the socs are very violent they got Ponyboy and tried to drown him in a fountain. Then Johnny killed one of the socs named Bob because if

Johnny and Ponyboy are true friends who can relate to each other a lot. They also both done heroic things with each other. Like what I said in the last paragraph Johnny and Ponyboy saved the children from the burning church and defended Cherry a Socs. In this paragraph I am going to show you more examples of how Johnny is a hero. When Ponyboy and Johnny were jumped by 5 Socs at a park Ponyboy spat on one of the Socs face. In result Bob a Socs tried to drown Ponyboy in a fountain but Johnny stabbed Bob with a switchblade. Bob ended up dying but Johnny had to do what he had to do to save Ponyboy. Another example is when Jonny decided to run away with Ponyboy when Ponyboy had a problem at home. Johnny never let Ponyboy have troubles on his own he’s always there for Ponyboy. They say Johnny is shy but in my opinion Johnny is brave and heroic.

First of all, in chapter one they introduce all of the characters and they introduce Johnny like, ¨If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny. He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn’t help matters. He was the gang’s pet, everyone’s kid brother. His father was always beating him up, and his

Ponyboy is a smart, emotional, loving member of the gang. He gets good grades, enjoys watching sunsets, runs track, and loves his brothers dearly. He is the youngest member of the group, but still faced many hardships. In many ways Ponyboy was a hero even though there were consequences he had to pay. On the night Darry slapped Pony, he ran to Johnny for help. They went to a park where a bunch of Socs began to drown Pony. Johnny was scared and murdered Bob, one of the Socs. Even though Ponyboy was scared of what the police may do to him and his family, he still stood by Johnny and helped him through this

I believe that Ponyboy and Johnny are heroes. That is because they both ran into a burning building to save 4 or 5 little kids from catching fire and dying. Everyday people don’t just sprint into burning buildings for enjoyment everyday unless it’s your job and even then they don’t do it for fun. They do it because they wanted to help save lives. Ponyboy going first showed that he didn’t want to wait for the fireman to come because it was now or never. “I’ll get them, don’t worry!” I started at a dead run for the church, and the man caught my arm. “I’ll get them. You kids stay out!” I jerked loose and ran on. All I could think was: We

Ponyboy is someone who Johnny cherished because they treat each other like brothers and not friends when one of them is in trouble the other tries to save them, this is what happened in The Outsiders. When Ponyboy was being drowned by the Socs, Johnny could not bear it so h pulled a switchblade and stabbed Bob so they let Ponyboy free. This is an act of kindness that only courageous people could do, Johnny proved that humanity still exists and you just need courage to save someone that needs help, Johnny also helped the kids in the burning church, he didn't even think about himself even once moreover he enjoyed. Enjoying something that benefits others is good because you are helping someone you know that will appreciate it, you don’t need to know the person you are helping you just need good intentions. Dally was being rude to Sherri and Marcia at the Drive-in theatre, Johnny could not take it so he told Dally to stop, Dally stopped but he was shock by the fact that Johnny could stand up to him being rude to others.

Johnny is a hero because he saved kids from a flaming church. He and Ponyboy ran into the flaming church to save little kids from dying. In the process, Johnny broke his back and died in the hospital. That makes him a hero because he risked his life for some little kids he didn't know. In chapter 9 Johnny died a hero. He was missed by the entire gang, Dally and Ponyboy saw him as a hero.

I think johnny is the hero because he saved all of those kids who he could have let them die but he didn’t he sacrificed his life to save their lives but he did because he didn’t want them to die but it ended up backfiring on him and since he broke his back in the church it caused him to to stay in the hospital and he died after the rumble when they were visiting him but ponyboy is a hero to because he helped the kids to but he just got a big bruise on his back he did not end up like johnny did but he was sick all ready and and he also went and participated in the rumble and he has had the roughest week of his life ever and two of his friend have died.

“The headline: JUVENILE DELINQUENTS TURN HEROES... Y’all were heroes from the beginning. You just didn’t turn all of a sudden. (pg 107” The day Ponyboy and Johnny went into save the little j=kids from the burning church, Ponyboy saw something in Johnny’s eyes. “That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without a defeated, suspicious look in his eyes. He looked like he was having the time of his life. (pg.92)” You could tell he liked saving the kids he felt good.

Ponyboy is the definition of a hero,He did exactly what the definition is saying.He goes out of his way to save the kids

What if everthing and everyone you loved went away? Life is hard, but luckily you have your loved ones to help you. But what if you didn’t? In the book, The Outsiders, even though many characters impacted each other, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally impacted their peers the most throughout the book.

Ponyboy might be considered a hero because,he had no hesitation getting out of the car and going into a burning church to save a few kids.He puts others before himself and he cares about other people.He went into a burning church knowing that he could get hurt or even die but he still went anyway ¨Dally was standing there, and when he saw me he screamed,¨For pete's sake,get outa there!That roofs gonna cave in any minute.Forget those blasted kids!¨I didn't pay any attention,although pieces of the old roof were falling to close for comfort.¨ You can see from reading this quote from the book that Ponyboy is considered a hero because he didn't care about what Dally was telling him,he only cared about getting those kids out of the burning church.This is just a few examples of why Ponyboy could be considered a hero.

“Suddenly, in the red glow and the haze, I remembered wondering what it was like in a burning ember.” (Hinton 22) In the Outsiders Johnny was the true hero in the story. Ponyboy knew without Johnny they wouldn’t be the same. Johnny ends up saving many people's lives because he knew it was the right thing and that is true heroism.
