Characteristics Of Johnny In The Outsiders

Ponyboy is a hero because he is courageous and not afraid to rescue and help people in their times of need. One main reason why Ponyboy is a hero is that when school children are stuck in a fire Ponyboy runs in to rescue them. Ponyboy yells to the teacher, “I’ll get them, don’t worry… I’ll get them,” and immediately rushes into the burning building to rescue the children. This quote shows the true nature of Ponyboy because he is concerned for a group of children trapped in a burning church. He was so worried that he goes in to the burning church with disregard for his safety and saves the kids. What he did when the church was burning meats the definition of a hero perfectly, he was courageous, saved people who needed his help, and was even called a hero by the newspaper. Another way that Ponyboy is a hero is that when Randy, a soc comes over and talks to Ponyboy, Ponyboy listens and talks to Randy about Randy’s problems. Randy then goes on to say, “Thanks kid.” This is a small gesture of kindness shown by Ponyboy, yet it is an act of heroism too. People do not have to save the world to be a hero, a small act of kindness still can take a courageous gesture like overcoming the differences between two people like Ponyboy and Randy did. Heroism in its own simple but pleasant way being kind to others is also heroic. Ponyboy is a hero because no mater how big or small

Another factor that proves that Ponyboy is a hero is his personality. In the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the definition of being a hero also includes their “fine qualities.” “’What in the world are you doing?’ Two-Bit's voice broke into my

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.

He is also a hero because he’s good at school, he is a good student, he’s athletic, and he avoids making tension with his rivals. Ponyboy is a hero to the kids in the wrong side of the cities for showing them that it’s possible to escape, and get a better future, he’s a hero to the kids who would’ve died, a hero to his brothers, and many

I would consider Ponyboy a hero because when they went back to the church that they stayed in. Ponyboy saw that the church was on fire. Without thinking Pony went to see what happened at the church. Then Ponyboy realized there was some kids still inside. Without a doubt Pony went into the church while it was up in flames. He found the kids in a room at the back of the church. He then went to go help and save the children. That's why I consider Pony being a hero.

Are there some people in your life that you would consider a hero? Well some of the of the characters in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, are considered heroes in their own way. Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy could all be classified as heros. They have proved on several occasions that they are heros.

In the book, Dally was hallmarked as a reckless thug, but he showed heroism by offering a plot and some supplies to Ponyboy and Johnny to protect them. He might not perfectly fit in my earlier definition of a hero,nevertheless he was is in the eyes of Johnny and Ponyboy in that glimpse. In addition, he dragged Johnny out of the fire and got burned in the process. Thus, he is a true hero.

Ponyboy is a hero because he went into a burning church and saved the children that were in the the church. Ponyboy is also a hero is because he is a survivor. Ponyboy is a hero because he is not afraid to step up. Ch.8 says a quote from johnny and it says I would, I would help her and Randy both if I could. "Hey," I said suddenly, "can you see the sunset real good from the West Side?" That meant that Ponyboy has the desire to help people in problems which makes him a hero. Another quote was in ch 4 which meant that ponyboy isn’t afraid of anything and it says “You know what a Soc is? I said, my voice trembling with rage. "White trash with Mustangs and madras." And then, because I couldn't think of anything bad enough to call them, I spit at them.” Heroes are people who rescue others or people that do something that is really brave. Ponyboy did that, so he is a hero in that way.

Some people might think that Ponyboy has the stereotype of a hero and not a greaser, because he, Johnny and Dally saved the kids at the burning church. “I swear, you three are the bravest kids I’ve seen in a long time.”(42), after saving the trapped kids Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally were called the bravest kids the school teacher has ever seen. Another reason that Ponyboy could be considered as a hero is that he tried to save Dally, because when he was in a police chase. Ponyboy tried to make the police not shoot Dally, he was tried trying his life for his friend but he could not complete. The final reason that Ponyboy is a hero is that he helped out Cherry (a girl soc who is a spy, rich, and snobby). What Ponyboy taught her is that the socs and the same it does not depend on the side they live

    In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, there are 3 Greasers that are heroes. Johnny is a hero, for  many reasons, he is courageous, brave and he risked his life to save a lot of people. First, he saved Ponyboy from drowning in the fountain. Also, he saved some kids from the church that was on fire. Finally,  Dally is a hero, for reasons just like Johnny, he saved Johnny from dying in the church. Also, Ponyboy is a hero,he also saved the kids from the church that was on fire.

Everyone in their own unique ways is a hero, some are just more prominent compared to others. Personally, a hero is someone who stops thinking of themselves and ameliorate the world on a small or large scale. Dally was the most prestigious heroic character of the book, he was even described gallant by Johnny and Ponyboy. Immediately after Johnny and Ponyboy are faced with murder, Dallas was the first name that came to mind. As expected, Dally was just what they needed to stay hidden and out of trouble. "Dally," Johnny said with finality. "Dally'll get us outs here.". Similarly, even with a hurt arm, Dally came to the rescue during the rumble. He was extremely loyal to the crew and wanted to be apart of taking down the Soc’s. When Ponyboy was

Ponyboy is a hero, because he save the kids at the church and he could have died. He went into the church and risked his life for the kids in there.Some evidence I have to back up my reason that he is a hero is that he asked where the kids were in the burning church so he could save the. Also, Ponyboy is considered a hero by the teachers who where at the church because they said we think you must have two come from heaven.

Who is the most heroic character in the outsiders, a lot of the characters did something heroic in the book but who is the most. Is it Ponyboy,Soda,Two Bit,Darry,Dally, or johnny or any other character from the book? The most heroic character is obvious in the book. Its Johnny, Johnny has done the most heroic things in the book.

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.

I believe pony, johnny, and dally are heros because they saved the little kids from the burning church, they said anyone would have done it but no one was so they took matters into their own hands instead of letting those kids burn. Pony knew what it was like to lose someone important to them so hey didn't want to let those little kids die so the parents wouldn't be hurting and that meant even if he didn't make it out. My definition of a hero would probably be someone who puts their life on the line for others but not always on the line, like if someone stole something they would stop them or just someone helping an animal not get run over or out of a tree anything like that. The real definition for hero is ¨a person who is admired or idealized
