How Is Johnny Cade Abused

Early in the book Johnny shows that he is shy. But also brave and not scared to stick up for his friends. The Socs jumped Johnny and Ponyboy. They started to drown Ponyboy. Johnny defended him by stabbing Bob. Later, Pony discussed with Johnny, “You really killed him, huh Johnny?’ ‘Yeah.’ his voice quavered slightly. ‘I had to they were drowning

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.

This is apparent when Two-Bit said he wondered why Johnny and Ponyboy were such good friends because neither of them talked. On page 39, it says “You must make such interesting conversation, Ponyboy keeping his mouth and you not saying anything.” This shows that Johnny is quiet and doesn’t talk much. Another example is when he was with Ponyboy at the movie and they were sitting by the Soc girls and he was being quiet. On page 24, it says Johnny managed a shy “Hi” to the girls and tried to watch the movie. This means Johnny was quiet and always nervous around strangers. As you can see Johnny is extremely quiet and doesn’t say much around

Then Ponyboy runs out the door, finds Johnny, and goes to the park. There, however, the two young greasers run into randy and bob, with a huge group of their Socs friends. One of the Socs friends hold pony boy’s head under a cold water fountain, and Ponyboy blacks out. When he comes to, he is lying on the ground next to Johnny. The bloody corps of bob is next to them. To save Ponyboy, Johnny had to kill bob.

The first reason as to why Johnny killed Bob was because he had a fear of great bodily harm. Four months before the incident, Bob and his colleagues beat Johnny half to death. He had cuts and bruises, but most especially, he was traumatized. Johnny says that he killed Bob because 1) they could have killed Ponyboy, 2) They had a switchblade (and who knows what intoxicated individuals are capable of doing), and 3) they could have beaten Johnny up, again. Ponyboy explained

Johnny Cade in the story of the outsiders is described as the gang’s pet who has been through so much in life only at the age of 16. He’s been kicked out too many times and has already faced the cruelty of reality. When saving the kids from the burning down church Johnny has a piece wood with fire on it fall on him. Making it impossible to move or heal every again. I think Johnny never gave up on his innocent but, he became age when he saved the kids from the burning down church.

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

Johnny killed Bob to save Ponyboy from drowning.  When Ponyboy and Johnny were in the lot, they fell asleep. Johnny had to wake Ponyboy up. When Ponyboy got home, he hoped that Darry was in bed, but he wasn’t. Ponyboy went into his house, and Darry got up from sitting in the chair, and he started yelling at Ponyboy. He said, where have you been? It's almost 2 am in the morning. When Soda-pop woke up he told Darry to stop yelling. Darry yelled at Soda and told him to stop. Then, Ponyboy yelled at Darry to stop yelling at Soda like that. When Ponyboy said that, Darry hit him(pg 49,50 ch.3). After Darry hit him, Ponyboy ran away from his house and met Johnny at the lot. They took a walk to the park. Ponyboy said before Mom and Dad died we got along fine, but now he just can’t stand me (pg 51 ch3). Then they saw a blue mustang circling the park. 5 Socs got out of the car, and they were coming towards Pony and Johnny,  the

He is 16 years old and is a part of the greaser gang. Throughout the book, Johnny evolves from a boy who is passive and taciturn to a character who is courageous and brave. To begin with, Johnny lives with himself in constant fear. Ponyboy writes, “If you can picture a lost dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny” (11). Johnny is petrified of his parents due to abuse he receives for no reason and then is ignored when he turns to his “second” family.

After being used as a human punching bag, Johnny has a right to literally be definitely shy. In the greaser gang, Johnny is the runt of the litter or the team pet in turn, making it fairly hard for Johnny to express himself as easily. His home life wasn’t any better, making it fairly hard for Johnny to basically be for all intents and purposes outgoing and not very

After a close analysis, Johnny needed to protect Ponyboy and needed to self-defense, but didn’t had time to protect himself, so he killed Bob to save his best buddy. In

Darry and Ponyboy had never really gotten along perfectly and so Ponyboy ran away feeling like the slap was his last straw. Johnny was still in the lot where they had fallen asleep since he didn’t want to go home to Ponyboy told Johnny they should run away. Since Johnny felt no connection to his home, he agreed with Ponyboy. Suddenly two Socs, Randy and Bob, jumped them.
