After Dally finally showed up after about four days, the church that they were staying at in Windrixville caught on fire, and there were kids on a field trip by the church. Some of them got trapped in there (I don't know why they'd be in there in the first place), and Ponyboy and Johnny decided to save them. After they got all the kids out (Dally finally decided to help and was helping lifting the kids out of the window, outside the church), Ponyboy managed to get out in time, but a burning piece of timber fell on Johnny and broke his back. He made it to the hospital, but after a day, he died after uttering his last, (famous) words to Ponyboy: "Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold..." Dally was crushed and totally blew up (since Johnny was the only thing he had ever loved), and ended up dying as well.

Why is Ponyboy s comparison of johnny to a puppy a good analogy?

Ponyboy's comparison of Johnny to a puppy is a good analogy because it conveys Johnny's innocence, loyalty, and vulnerability. Like a puppy, Johnny is eager to please, loyal to his friends, and often overlooked or underestimated by others due to his quiet and submissive nature. The analogy helps to highlight Johnny's endearing qualities and evoke empathy from the reader.


What are examples of bold-faced lies?

Examples of "bold faced lies" will vary depending on the situation. The lie is one that both people (the teller and the victim) know is a lie. Typically the person who was lied about would be the one to exclaim, "That's a bold faced lie!" But, the teller of the lie says the lie to gain power, to embarrass, to feel superior, etc. Therefore, telling bold faced lies can be a form of bullying, or at minimum, "teasing". The worst part about these kinds of lies is that the victim usually cannot defend him or herself. There were no witnesses and it's a 50-50 chance that others will believe the lie. So, these kinds of lies can be very damaging to the victim, who gets hurt by the liar. Examples: 1: Sally tells the teacher she saw Johnny cheating on the test the class just took. Sally says this loudly in front of other students. Johnny knows he didn't cheat-- he has strong values and would never cheat on a test! Johnny yells, "You take that back, Sally-- that's a bold faced lie!" If the teacher had been distracted, she might think she should believe Sally. If the teacher trusts Johnny, the teacher likely won't believe Sally. Either way, the damage has been done; Johnny feels embarrassed; many students now wonder if he did cheat; and Sally got the attention she wanted. Finally, weeks later, Sally claims she was "just teasing" Johnny. 2. Johnny took a girl to the early movie last night and took her home by 11 pm. The girl is petite, quiet, and enjoys writing poetry. She's often shunned in school. But Johnny thought she was pretty and she was easy to talk to. He really likes her... but HIS friends start teasing him. So, feeling attacked by his friends, he makes up lies about the girl, claiming she did sexual things with him before she went home. The friends, of course, start talking about the girl and how she was "so easy". When the girl heard kids talking about her, she burst into tears and cried, "That's a bold faced lie! I don't do that!" 3. Johnny has never liked his Aunt Sarah-- she gives him the creeps with how she talks and the way she acts. His Aunt Sarah means well, but she does have some problems. For example, Johnny's mother says this Aunt has a gambling problem and loses lots of money playing slot games. But, no one in the family confronts her--ever. On a weekend visit, Aunt Sally boasts that she's brought enough money with her to buy Johnny and his siblings presents. But just before they leave to go shopping, Aunt Sarah comes rushing out of her room saying, "It's gone! It's gone!" Then, she accuses Johnny of stealing her money!! It's a bold faced lie... but... Johnny has no alibi. He was home alone for a few hours, and Aunt Sarah claims that must be when Johnny went into her purse and took her money. The "stolen money" story gets told throughout the extended family... and even years later, no one trusts Johnny! Like I said bold-faced lies can be very damaging -- even to characters in books.

Can you give me an example of a topic outline?

For a topic outline, i would use German numerals and the subject of your paragraph. Example: (You mainly just fill in your own Headings [like the "Intro" part]. And than put your details that happened in the first heading) I - Intro (this is where you put your own subject) - (Put what happened in, chronological order, in the paragraphs) - (Put something else that happened) - (Another event that happened in this paragraph II - Middle (The second subject) - (Put something that happened in this subject) -(Another) -(Another) III- End (Put your last subject) - (Something that happened here) -(Another) - (I think you get the point! haha!) Note: You may have more subjects than the example i gave you. I hope this helped you with your work. Good luck to whatever you plan to do with this information!
