Best Answer

Johnny and Pony save the kids because they wish someone had saved them. Both of them are used to youngsters having to save other youngsters, so of course they save the kids. Pony and Johnny save the kids also because they feel like they started the fire. Also, it proves at heart they are good kids.

They saved the because they thought or knew that THEY had caused the fire because they had dropped a cigarette that was still lit. So they felt guilty and went to save them.

I saw THE OUTSIDERS in the theatre when it was released, and from personal interpretation I would say they did it because they were good people and it was the right thing to do

Why is cherry and marcia are ok with ponyboy and johnny but not dally?

Can't answer it for you Sorry try again See you later


What does ponyboy try?

Ponyboy goes to the Lot to find Johnny and they go to the park. While they are at the park a blue mustang pulls up with five Socs, including Randy and Bob and they get in a fight with Johnny and Pony. Bob trys to drown Ponyboy in the fountain so Johnny stabs and kills Bob.


How long do you think the boys will be able to hide out at the church from the outsiders?

My hypothesis was that they were going to hide in the church for a week or 2 because sooner or later, they'd get help from Dally or the other Greasers. (SPOILERS) ... ... ... ... But then I read the book and Dally comes soon and then the church gets burnt down because of when Johnny and Ponyboy were smoking, they left their cigars there, and the church was burnt. There was children inside and Johnny and Ponyboy try to save them. I will not give further information to what happens. READ THE BOOK & ENJOY ! It's a really good book. (:


How does johnny die in the hospital in the outsiders movie?

Johnny gets hurt in the outsiders by coming back to the church after going out to Dairy Queen. The church has caught on fire by accident, and some of the children from the picnic was in there, so with out thinking twice, Johnny and Ponyboy went in to get the kids. The kids were yeeted(thrown) out the window. Then, the roof started caving in, so Johnny pushed Ponyboy out and he was too late, and got hit by a flaming log thing.


What additional problem did the brothers face after ponyboy's return?

the court hearing, the rumble, the loss of both Johnny and Dally and their personal fight with each other (the one where darry and ponyboy try to get soda to take their side).

What happens in chapter 6 of the outsiders?

As Johnny and Ponyboy devour a big meal at the Dairy Queen, Dally explains that Cherry felt responsible for a situation that resulted in Bob's stabbing, so she offered to watch monitor the Socs' preparations for the rumble and to testify that Johnny acted in self-defense. Johnny announces that he thinks he and Ponyboy should turn themselves in to the police. Dally tries to convince him otherwise, saying that he never wants Johnny to become hardened in the way that jail would harden him. Johnny responds that he thinks he has a good chance in a trial since he acted in self-defense, and that he feels guilty for worrying Ponyboy's brothers. Dally agrees to drive the boys back to Tulsa. As they drive past the church where they had been hiding, they see that it's burning. A crowd is standing outside, and a bystander tells them that a school group was having a picnic there. A woman shouts that some of the children are missing inside the church. Suspecting that their discarded cigarette butts may have started the fire, Ponyboy and Johnny dash into the burning building. They find the children and lift them one-by-one out a window, continuing even after Dally runs in shouting that the roof is about to collapse. The roof collapses, just as they save the last child, and Johnny knocks Ponyboy through the window, saving him. Ponyboy hears Johnny scream behind him, but before he can go back Dally smacks him on the back and knocks him unconscious. Ponyboy wakes up in an ambulance with Jerry Wood, a teacher and the bystander whom Ponyboy spoke with before rushing into the burning church. Jerry tells him what happened: Dally knocked Ponyboy out while smothering a fire that had caught on Ponyboy's back. Dally then saved Johnny. He adds that Dally is burned but will be fine, while Johnny is in very bad condition. He praises the boys' courage. Ponyboy responds that they're greasers and that Johnny is wanted for murder. Jerry doesn't know the term "greaser" and is surprised by this news about Johnny, but he continues to try to comfort Ponyboy as they head toward the hospital. Ponyboy suffered only minor burns, and is soon discharged from the hospital. He sits in the waiting room with Jerry, worrying about Dally and Johnny, and finds himself telling Jerry the story of Bob's murder. Jerry agrees that Johnny acted in self-defense and reassures him that the judge will also take into account the boys' actions at the fire. Soon Sodapop and Darry arrive. Ponyboy and Soda hug. Darry stands apart, and Ponyboy sees that Darry is crying. Suddenly Ponyboy understands that Darry's harsh treatment of him results from his love and his concern for Ponyboy's welfare. Ponyboy hugs Darry and apologizes to him, and has the feeling that everything will be okay once he returns home.
