The Outsiders- 5&6

November 4th, 2007 by kdanielle

 The middle of any book is when it really beigns to make sense and come together, and I am at this part in The Outsiders. During these past two chapters many different things happened and I think that they are going to have a huge impact on the story-line.

The first thing that happened was one morning(while in the church) Ponyboy woke up and Johnny was gone getting supplies for the rest of the  stay in the church and when Johnny got back he showed Ponyboy what he had bought. After he was done showing that he told Ponyboy what they had to do, and that was that they had to cut there hair. Not only did Johnny and Ponyboy gut there hair but Ponyboy had to bleach is hair so that they wouldn’t fit the descriptions in the paper for the killing of Bob.

Dally then shows up at the church, and the boys are very happy to see someone that has connections to the outside world (according to Ponyboy) and Dally takes them to Dairy Queen for something good to eat.

When the three boys are done their meal they drive back to the church in Dally’s beat up old car, and when they arrive they see that the church that they had been living in for the past week was on fire and that was not the only thing that was going on, there was a school picnic going on and the boys were shocked and scared at the same time.

Ponyboy and Johnny then soon come to relize that there were some children that were playing around in the church when it caught fire and were still in it. Ponyboy then hops through the window and Johnny follows, they save the children and the kids are untouched but for Ponyboy, Johnny, and also Dally…they are sent to the hosptial.

I think that in this chapter the word that would describe it best would be heroism. With all of the acts that were taken place in these two chapters was something that only a true at heart hero could do. A hero is someone that is even risking his own life to save others, and someone that has a lot of bravery and is willing to give and take, that’s what a true hero is all about, and I think that Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally all showed a big part of that.
