I don’t want that to happen to you. Like it happened to me…,’ ” he cares about Johnny. He doesn’t want Johnny to turn into someone like Dallas. He wants

He sacrifices himself to save his friends and innocent children, and also shows no regret for it, despite losing his own life, shown in his dialogue ‘It’s worth saving those kids, their lives are worth more than ours’ (page 216) This demonstrates that he no longer fears death and that he feels that his life was not wasted because he saved the children. Johnny also ran into the church with Ponyboy, demonstrating that he would do anything at the side of his friends. This helps the reader to understand many of the key themes in the novels, as it shows that the bond that the gang shares is stronger than any other bond they

In anger and in fear he stopped Bob from hurting Pony(56), that left him with a feeling that distressed him greatly. He says to Pony, “Shut up about last night! I killed a kid last night…. How’d you like to live with that”(74)? This eats away at Johnny and makes him cry- “it took alot to make Johnny cry”(4). When Pony and Johnny go on the run because Johnny killed Bob, they leave everything behind and only stay in touch with Johnny’s hero, Dally. It hurt Johnny even more when Dallas had told him his parents had not asked about him after he ran away(88). He decided to turn himself in and stop running when he saw that it did more harm than good. Johnnycake knew that it wasn’t fair for Pony to be away from his family. On their way back to the church they see that it had caught on fire. Pony and Johnny knew that they had probably started the fire and ran in the church to try and save the children stuck inside. They rushed to get the kids out of the church window as embers fell on them.

He had psychology impact on the Socs, he would shiver and be frighten whenever he sees a Soc. On the day he left with Ponyboy, they met a group of Socs. Since the Soc called Bob almost drowned Ponyboy to death, he killed Bob. Johnny admired Dally a lot. He wishes Dally could be proud of him for even just once. He wanted to be as tough and cool as Dally but he never succeeds. Johnny was kicked out of school and that was how Ponyboy thought he wasn't clever. Sometimes Johnny understood things better than Ponyboy in the book which was called Gone with the Wind. Johnny had the interest and talent in reading books but no one in the gang except Ponyboy was good enough to talk about these. He wasn't really close with Ponyboy before they ran away together so they didn't have a talk. Johnny also loved to watch sunsets and sunrises but no one in the gang could have spared time to watch or even talk about this. All Johnny couldn't express mad him alienated from the gang members. The only one he was close to was Dally. Dally cared for his all time and would risk his life for whatever happens on Johnny. Such as lending a gun or killing a Soc. Dally wouldn't hesitate as long as it was for

The evidence in the book and the indirect characterization by Hinton shows that Johnny is an IB caring

Picking cotton was everyone’s job at the Cash house. Every morning he would have to get up, run outside, hurry and do his jobs so he could run to school on time. When he got out of school he would have to hurry back to the farm and continue to pick cotton, cut the logs, build a fence, or anything that was there for him to do. One day when Johnny was suppose to be helping his brother, Jack.

Ponyboy talks about Johnny, “Johnny was a good fighter and could play it cool, but he was sensitive” (88). Unlike the other greasers, Johnny is quiet and caring.

I'm sorry about your poor mother, I feel bad for your loss and Owen’s. I wasn't there for Owen like she was, i don't talk much because the burden of not being his mother hurts me. Owen is a good kid and very bright, he needs people like you and your mother in his life, right now he only has you. Please be there for him johnny he needs a good friend, he might seem strong but he needs a good friend. I also feel bad because he doesn’t get very many things besides his small valuables like the armadillo. He may not have many items of money value but he is very knowledgeable about his faith and schooling.

He was always there for Francie and now she has no one left to look out for her. Johnny was always there to take the kids out if he felt it was necessary, such as taking them out fishing.

This is because no matter how much time passes they will always want their true father. The kids had a big place in their heart for him and that will never change.

Holding up your emotions is not good on a person, but Francie will not talk to her mother and Neely is turning into his father to get rid of the hurt. Neely like his father is a singer, but does not drink alcohol. The kids both have to grow up fast and they miss their father more than anyone.
