Why did johnny decide they should turn themselves in?

He didn't think it was fair that Ponyboy's brothers had to worry about Pony all the time. Also, he thinks he could get off easier when Dally tells him that Cherry would testify that the socs were drunk and Johnny stabbed Bob in self-defense.


What is a short summary of chapters 3 4 of The Outsiders?

The OutsidersChapters 3-4Summary: Chapter 3Ponyboy, Two-Bit, and Johnny walk to Two-Bit's house with Cherry and Marcia so that they can give the girls a ride home. As they walk, Ponyboy and Cherry talk about Ponyboy's brothers. He notices how easy it is to talk to Cherry. When Cherry asks Ponyboy to describe Darry, he says Darry does not like him and probably wishes he could put Ponyboy in a home somewhere. Johnny and Two-Bit are startled to hear that Ponyboy feels this way, and Johnny says he always thought the three brothers got along well.After Ponyboy tells Cherry about Sodapop's old horse, Mickey Mouse, the two move on to discuss the differences they perceive between Socs and greasers. During this discussion, Ponyboy and Cherry find they have a surprising amount in common-for instance, they both like reading and watching sunsets. Ponyboy voices his frustration that the greasers have terrible luck while the Socs lead comfortable lives and jump the greasers out of sheer boredom. Cherry retorts that the Socs' situations are not as simple as Ponyboy thinks. They decide that the main difference between Socs and greasers is that Socs are too cool and aloof to acknowledge their emotions and that they live their lives trying to fill up their emotional void, while the greasers feel everything too intensely. Ponyboy realizes that, although they come from different classes, he and Cherry watch the same sunset.A blue Mustang cruises by the group. The Mustang belongs to Bob and Randy, Cherry's and Marcia's Soc boyfriends. The Mustang pulls up beside the group, and Randy and Bob get out. Ponyboy notices that Bob wears three heavy rings on his hand. The greasers and Socs nearly get into a fight, but the girls agree to leave with their boyfriends to prevent violence. Before leaving, Cherry tells Ponyboy that she hopes she won't see Dally again, because she thinks she could fall in love with him.Ponyboy walks home and finds Darry furious with him for staying out so late. In the ensuing argument, Darry slaps Ponyboy. No one in Ponyboy's family has ever hit him before, and Ponyboy storms out of the house in a rage. He feels sure now that Darry does not want him around. It is after two o'clock in the morning. Ponyboy finds Johnny in the lot where the greasers hang out, and he tells Johnny that they are running away. Johnny, who lives with his abusive alcoholic father, agrees to run away without hesitating. The boys decide to walk through the park and determine whether they really want to leave.Summary: Chapter 4The park is deserted at 2:30 in the morning. Ponyboy and Johnny go walking beside the fountain. It is cold out, and Ponyboy is wearing only a short-sleeved shirt. Suddenly the boys see the blue Mustang from earlier that night. Five Socs, including Randy and Bob, jump out of the car and approach them. Presumably, the Socs have come to get even with the boys for picking up their girlfriends. Ponyboy can tell they are drunk. Bob tells Ponyboy that greasers are white trash with long hair, and Ponyboy retorts that Socs are nothing but white trash with Mustangs and madras shirts. In a rage, Ponyboy spits at the Socs. A Soc grabs Ponyboy and holds his head under the frigid water of the fountain. Ponyboy feels himself drowning and blacks out. When he regains consciousness, the Socs have run away. He is lying on the pavement next to Johnny. Bob's bloody corpse is nearby. Johnny says, "I killed him," and Ponyboy sees Johnny's switchblade, dark to the hilt with blood.Ponyboy panics, but Johnny remains calm. They decide to go to Dally, thinking he might be able to help them. They find Dally at the house of Buck Merril, his rodeo partner. He manages to get the boys fifty dollars, a change of clothing for Ponyboy, and a loaded gun. He instructs them to take a train to Windrixville, where they can hide in an abandoned church. Ponyboy and Johnny get on a train, and Ponyboy goes to sleep. When they get to Windrixville, they hop off the train and find the church, where they collapse into exhausted sleep.That is a detailed version but this is a shorter version:CHAPTER 3: In the third chapter, Ponyboy, Two-Bit, andJohnny walk to Two-Bit's house so they can give the girls a ride home. A blue Mustang cruises by the group. Randy and Bob get out. Bob wears three heavy rings on his hand. The girls agree to leave with the Socs toprevent violence. Ponyboy falls asleep inthe park and Darry's mad at him for not using his head. Darry slaps Ponyboy and he runs out of thehouse. Ponyboy tells Johnny that theyare running away and Johnny runs away without hesitating. The boys later decide to walk through thepark to cool off.CHAPTER 4: The park is deserted and Ponyboy and Johnnygo to the fountain. The boys see theblue Mustang. Five drunken Socs jump them.A Soc grabs Ponyboy and holds his headunder the water of the fountain and Ponyboy blacks out. When he regains consciousness, he is lying onthe pavement next to Johnny and Bob is dead.Johnny killed him. Ponyboy andJohnny decide to go to Dally.

Do you agree with johnny that having friends care for you is not the same as having your own folks care about youwhy or why not?

I agree with Johnny that having friends care for you is not the same as having your own family care about you. Family often provides a deeper, unconditional bond and understanding that can stem from shared history and experiences. While friends can offer support and companionship, the emotional ties and sense of belonging that come from family relationships can be uniquely profound and irreplaceable.


What is Johnny Cash full name?

R. Johhny Cash was born J. R. Cash (his parents couldn't agree on a name, just initials), taking the name John R. Cash when he entered the military, and then Johnny Cash when he took to the stage. Note that his father was "Ray" and his mother's maiden name was "Rivers," so the "R" probably stood for one (or more likely, both) of these names.

Why did johnny cash become a guitarist?

Stories seldom agree. He (along with his brother) had an early interest in music. He often had long periods of boredom while in the Air Force. Legend has it that a friend gave him a guitar to play with when he (friend) left the Air Force. Johnny bought a better one from a pawn shop when he realized he was going to be able to teach himself how to play - and write songs.


Why do teenagers and adults hate Johnny Test so much?

Many reasons. My response to this is, why do some people like Johnny Test? They show it way too much, every episode is the same. Scenario one: Johnny gets bored, he goes to ask his sisters to help him, they say no, he tricks them in to letting them use the invention or just sneaks in and uses it, they have fun for about ten minutes of the show, something goes wrong because of Johnny's ignorance, his sisters are the only ones who can help, 'Bling Bling Boy' comes along and decides to help because he has a crush on one of the sisters, they save the city, the end. Scenario two: Johnny and Dukie (However you spell it) are living a normal day when there is a mediocre villain that comes along to ruin their day. Somehow, this effects Johnny's sister's lives and agree to help him in defeating them. They come up with an invention that fails the first time, then make improvements that seem to flawlessly work the second time. City is saved, the end.
