The Outsiders- 9&10
November 11th, 2007 by kdanielle
In chapters nine and ten I thought was the best part of the book because like I had predicted before it was becoming more suspenseful for a reason, and that reason was for the rumble that was coming up. Some important events that happened in the story were:
Chapter 9
- Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop are getting ready for the big rumble that is going to take place at 7:00pm.
- It took the boys a while to get ready because they always try to look good before a fight to prove to the Soc’s that they are just as good as them.
- After they were all done getting ready and everyone was there, Ponyboy started asking them some questions, and that was why everybody liked to fight. All of their answers had to do with action, and the Soc’s and showing off.
- They then soon came to realize that it was almost seven o’clock so they decided that they better be on there way.
- When they got there Darry said, “Anybody want to fight?” and out of nowhere someone punched him right in the face, after the first punch everyone started going at it.
- Dally showed up unexpected and was hurt badly on one arm because of his burns, so Ponyboy helped him out while he was fighting.
- One of the Soc’s had brought a pipe to the fight…the Soc’s began to run. They had given up even though they could have won, but with the Greaser’s brotherhood and trust they beat the Soc’s fair and square.
- All the Greaser’s then realized that they had one, they were all so happy and were thinking about all the things they could do now, how much had changed, and what was possible.
- Dally then mentioned Johnny and how they should go see him and tell him what happened.
- Even before they stepped into Johnny’s room they heard bad news, the doctor had said that he was dieing and there was nothing he could really do. Right before Johnny died he told Ponyboy to stay gold…those were his last words.
Chapter 10
- After Johnny died Dally got angry, he stopped out of the room and down the hall.
- Dally had started his car and left, he then went to a store and robbed it to take out his anger, the cops were after him after this occurred.
- When the cops found him Dally had a gun but it was not loaded, when he pulled it out the cops shot him and he was also dead.
- The whole gang was looking for him while he was gone and when they found him…they watched him get shot.
- Then they went home and went to bed, didn’t say much, only because there was really nothing much to say.
My Thoughts
I think that the word that describes these two chapters best would have to be friendship, I think that this because when all of the boys stick together while they are fighting and believe that they can do whatever they want to is
all about them being friends. If they were not friends to begin with they would have no chance of beating the Soc’s.
Another reason why I think these chapters are about friendship is because when Johnny dies in the story everyone is sad, and also again if they were not friends no one would be sad. But because everyone was so close and
had hope and faith in each other, that is why they were all very upset.
Favourite Part
My favourite part in this chapter is when all of the boys know that they had won the fight againest the Soc’s. This is my favourite part because they then knew that they were free. Free from critasisim, free from worry, and free from judgement.

Do you think the gang was afraid of never seeing their two friends?

Hie Katie, this is Eduardo from L.A.
I chose fear as my word. I also agree with your word. Why did you choose friendship and not fear or survival.
