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
The Outsider by S.E Hinton follows the lives of two group of young adult’s in 1950’s America. The groups named “Greasers” and “Soc’s”. Greasers is a term used to class all the boys in the east side, which was the poor side of the town they were mainly known for their long and greased hair. Walking home alone was dangerous because the rival gang, the Soc’s could easily attack them. The Socs, short for Socials, are "the jet set, the West-side rich kids," who are from upper-middle-class families. Ponyboy
characters is Ponyboy. He is stereotyped as a greaser (a poor boy from the east side of town). Ponyboy accepts being a greaser and it affects him positively. Some people might stereotype Ponyboy as a hero and not a greaser. Ponyboy is a greaser, this is because he fits the characteristics of a greaser. For example, all the greasers have long greasy hair, pony has that. “Besides I look better with long greasy hair.” (2). This quote means that Ponyboy is a greaser, and that he looks better with long greasy
“Hero.” When many people her this word, they think of people with superpowers and cape like Superman and Batman, who are actually “superheroes”. To be a hero, you don’t have to been gifted with supernatural abilities, or even natural talent; you just need to do right thing and/or help others, whether it be saving them from a burning building or cheering them up in their time of need. Heroes can come from anywhere, and even greasers or hoodlums can be heroes. Despite coming from rough neighborhoods
stuck up for the Greasers. The characters who stuck out the most were Pony, Johnny, and Dally. Here are some reasons why they stuck out. The first way that Ponyboy is a hero is because he went in a fire to save other kids lives. From my knowledge that is very brave. In addition to this argument, he also went in the rumble being young, and got a concussion. This is supported by showing that he stuck up for the Greasers. We can see clearly that Ponyboy is a heroic character. Another hero is Johnny. One
are the “Greasers” and the “Socs”. Greasers is a term used to class all the boys living on the East side, which was the poor side of the town they were mainly known for their long and greased hair. The rival gang, the Socs short for Socials, are "the jet set, the West-side rich kids," who are from upper-middle-class families. Ponyboy explains that the gangs are "just small bunches of friends who stick together, and the warfare is between the social classes" (pg 10). Ponyboy is a Greaser, a 14-year-old
Hero. This used is used frequently but what makes someone heroic? Someone who saves lives? Or can someone be heroic by showing a small act of kindness? Can it be both? Yes, a hero is someone who is brave, courageous, and helps others in need. In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Cherry, Johnny, and Dally were portrayed as heroes because they were not afraid to step up and help other people. Johnny saved the lives of strangers and showed his bravery to help other people. Dally was portrayed as a hero by
stereotypical hero like Superman or Captain America. In The Outsiders, the greasers proved to be the heroes of the story, not the snobby Socs. The three greasers that specifically met my standards of a hero were Johnny, Dally, and Ponyboy. All three of these characters show that heroes don’t have to be perfect. My definition of a hero is someone tough, not just physically, but mentally, too. Bravery is also an important factor for being a hero. Another characteristic I see in a hero is the compassion
