He did not wanna talk about Johnny and said it was him because he thought Johnny was still alive and did not want johnny in trouble
he saw it happen it was his freind johnny
Bob the Soc
my advise for ponyboy and johnny would be to turn themselves in from the beginning. They were only defending themselves so i dont think anything would happen.
the police were looking for johnny and pony because johnny killed bob, the soc, with a switch-blade.
Ponyboy never died, Johnny and Dally did.
Ponyboy said that Johnny didn't have anything to do with Bob getting killed, because he didn't want Johnny taking the blame. Johnny was already dead, and Ponyboy didn't want him to look like a bad person (because he'd saved Ponyboy's life).
Ponyboy pretends to be proud of Johnny killing Bob because it makes him look tough, an essential quality of a greaser. I hope my answer helped you. -Del Klassen -ihunt4ever
Ponyboy told Cherry that Johnny had been beaten up a few months earlier by about 5 Socs (socials).
Ponyboy is telling himself not to think, or to remember because he can't handle the fact that Johnny died.
They weren't they were drunk and just looking for trouble
He remembered that even though everything seems hopeless right now it will get better because everything has hope in it.
Johnny was Bob's victim. Bob and the socs had beaten him up before. They were trying to drown Ponyboy, and Johnny stopped it.
