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 is one thing you want to do right now?

It is impossible to stop at just one thing, so here are several that come to mind: * Snuggle with a puppy. * Eat ice cream and share a bite with my four legged friend. * Smell the wonderful fragrances of heliotrope and puppy feet, not necessarily at the same time. * Talk and laugh with a good friend. * Learn something new. * Live in the now. We can't predict the future and we can't change the past, but we can focus on our reactions to life around us and acknowledge that living in the now is a gift....that is why it is called the 'present'.


Why do girls stare at other boys when they are with their boyfriend?

Some do some don't. Normal girls who look at other guys aren't thinking sexual thoughts or wishing that guy was their boyfriend instead of you. It's like looking at a puppy to us. When I look at other guys I think "omg he so cute good for him" and that's about it :)

Does neutering change peing behavior?

If neutered at too young an age, the puppy may not lift his leg to pee or may attract other males that may want to mate with him. However, if performed on a dog above six months old, there is virtually no risk and the dog will not get testicular cancer or have hyper-sexual behaviour. It also prevents the dog from roaming and getting hit by cars looking for females.
