It is the only real family Johnny has. Both of his parents don't love or care about him.
He thinks that 'gang' as his family because he gets love and affection from them better than that of his family.
because hes the top of the gang or hes from the soc
Because the greasers are like his real family. his other family doesn't care about him
Johnny needed the gang for family love , just like must of the gang. johnny is like a little brother to the gang, hes innocent and gets along with everybody in the gang. Johnny is the pet of the gang and without Johnny the gang wouldst be the same as before. The gang are so close and they would feel like a bit of them is gone if Johnny died. You could say its foreshadowing aswell because johnny dies and then dally goes crazy(without johnny dally goes crazy and dies to)Hope this helped
He doesn't have a job, but his position in the gang, if that is what you are refering to, he is the gang's pet.
when Ponyboy says that about him he means that there's not one person on earth that could relate to Johnny to make Ponyboy feel as comfortable and easy to get along with like the friendship he had with Johnny
Ponyboy
It was his family, all he ever had.

Johnny needs the gang because, Johnny parents doesnt care for him he has ran away several times and his parents still dont care. He feel that the only people that care is the gang (Greasers).
when Ponyboy says that about him he means that there's not one person on earth that could relate to Johnny to make Ponyboy feel as comfortable and easy to get along with like the friendship he had with Johnny
Ponyboy
because he is like the pet of the gang, the one everyone cares about and gets along with everyone
Because the gang may be close as a family, but your actual birth parents who are suppose to take care of you is slightly more important and the natural paternal and maternal instincs that you get from parents arent from the gang
nope he isn't
