Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold.
Johnny and Ponyboy are very similar. Ponyboy feels as if Johnny {and Soda} are the only people he can truly talk to.
Johnny's note to Ponyboy was important for his healing because it showed Johnny's care and gratitude towards Ponyboy. It made Ponyboy feel valued and strengthened their bond, providing him with comfort and support during a difficult time. Reading the note also allowed Ponyboy to understand Johnny's thoughts and feelings before his death, helping him process his grief and come to terms with the tragedy.
After Johnny died. He convinced himself he was still alive.
Here are some event. Major ones are in bold;-His mother and father died.-When Darry Curtis, his brother, slapped him so hard he crashed down on the floor. This happened because Ponyboy came home late after falling asleep in the lot after talking to Johnny. Sodapop tried to stand up for Ponyboy, but Darry yelled at him. After this, Ponyboy yelled "Don't you yell at him!" then yeah...Darry slapped him hard. Ponyboy then ran out of the house and told Johnny, who was sleeping, "Come on Johnny, we are running away!" Johnny was not reluctant to run away.-When the Socs (the drunk ones; a.k.a. Cherry's ex-boyfriend, Bob) tried to drown Ponyboy.-(very major) When Johnny killed the Soc that was drowning Ponyboy, and was going to beat Johnny up, Ponyboy was so sickened by the dead body of Bob, he threw up. This resulted in Johnny and Ponyboy going to where Dally was, and ask him for advice. Dally gave Johnny a gun, which was loaded, and gave Ponyboy a new, dry, but huge, shirt.-The church fire (the place where Ponyboy and Johnny were hiding) when both Johnny and Ponyboy almost died. Johnny was the one that was injured so badly; his back was broken. Ponyboy knew that if he survived, he wouldn't be able to do anything really.-When Johnny died. It was so sad in the movie when Johnny died after telling Ponyboy to 'Stay Gold, Ponyboy. Stay Gold." I felt so bad for Ponyboy, so that was a big major event in Ponyboy's life.I might've missed some major events. That's all I can think of now. Oh, also when Cherry Valance told Ponyboy she didn't want to see Johnny before he died, that was a major event. I bet Ponyboy was thinking; it was all your boyfriend Bob's fault. ALSO, when Dally died as well. This is my favorite book of all time. I could read it 3 times if I had to it's so good. Stay Gold. :)~KatieHope this helped, and I hope it's not too much info.
Ponyboy is telling himself not to think, or to remember because he can't handle the fact that Johnny died.
Ponyboy cries in front of Johnny because Darry slapped him, and Ponyboy has never been slapped.
Johnny and Ponyboy.
Ponyboy is the youngest. Johnny is 16 while Pony's 14
