Ponyboy Hero Quotes

The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is about two groups of kids the greasers and the Socs. The Socs are the rich kids who drive expensive cars and wear expensive clothes and the greasers are considered the bums. They don’t have money and they don’t get whatever they want, they also have to work extra hard to get to where they want to be. If you are considered a greaser you are a muffin and the Socs are the cupcakes. Everybody would prefer a cupcake over a muffin, but in this story two boys were just trying to protect themselves and they get into some trouble while doing it so, they hit the road. I am going to tell you about whether or not Ponyboy and Johnny are heroes.

Johnny would do anything to save his friends. After Dally drove Pony and Johnny to eat some much- needed food. They came back to see the church that Johnny and Pony were hiding out in on fire. There was a school having a picnic there. Some of the kids trapped inside the church. Without saying anything, Pony jumped out of the car and ran into the burning church with Johnny behind him. Right after saving the kids, Pony described, ‘‘Johnny shoved me out the window. ‘Get out!’ I leaped out the window and I heard timber crashing and the flames roaring right behind me” (Hinton 97). Instead of saving himself, Johnny pushed Pony out the window and saved him. Johnny puts others before himself and is willing to risk his life for others. This act is truly heroic.

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

To start off, Ponyboy is a hero because of the courage he displays through the book. “I jerked loose and ran on. All I could think was: We started it. We started it. We started it!

He may at times be afraid to stand up for himself but he is very courageous. One way Johnny shows courage is “We pushed open the door to the back room and found four or five little kids, about eight years old or younger, huddled in the corner. One was screaming his head off, and Johnny yelled, ‘’Shut up! We’re goin’ to get you out!” Page 92. This quote shows that Johnny is courageous because He went into a burning abandon church to save five or four kids that were about eight years old or younger. He risked his life to save those kids in the church. Another way how Johnny shows that he is a ‘’hero’’ is, “You really killed him, huh, Johnny?’’ ‘’Yeah.’’ His voice quavered slightly. “I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you. And they had a blade . . . they were gonna beat me up. . . .” Page.57. This quote shows Johnny being a ‘’hero’’. Johnny defended his friend before the group wanted to drown Ponyboy. Johnny took out his switchblade and killed Bob. The last example is “Leave her alone, dally.” Huh?” Dally was taken off guard. He stared at Johnny in disbelief. Johnny couldn’t say “Boo” to a goose. Johnny gulped and got a little pale, but he said, “You heard me. Leave her alone.” This quote relates to how Johnny is brave because Johnny is always afraid to stand up for himself but he was brave enough to fight back and stand up for Cherry because Dally kept annoying Cherry and she

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

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

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

Johnny is ponyboyś best friend who stays with him and sticks up for him no matter what, this portrays loyalty. We see the true extent of Johnnyś loyalty when the group of socs attack Pony and Johnny in the empty lot, as one the of the the boys is drowning Pony in the well Johnny stabbed Bob (the leader of the socs) to death in order to save Ponyboyś life. Johnny is caring for Pony when he talked to Pony in the empty lot after Darry had hit him, even though at home Johnnyś life is much worse, also Johnny showed his caring when he let Pony sleep on his shoulder after he cried himself to sleep in the abandoned church on Jay mountain. We learn alot from Johnnyś very humble actions, we learn to always stick up for your friends no matter what. Johnny is beaten at home and has a rough life, but he doesnt complain he just is an all around good guy. Johnny is very important in Ponyś life because he sticks with him

Everyone should know what a hero is. Most people would think a man or a woman in a cool suit and had super strength. But that is not what we are talking about today we are talking about 3 people in one book called the outsiders. And the heroes in this don't have superpowers they are just brave. And their names are Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally

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.
