    The death of Johnny is a noble death. He dies from saving children and also Ponyboy. His death means something. Near the end of the story, he is still looking out for Ponyboy, telling him to “‘stay gold’”(148) and writing him the letter. Ponyboy says “Johnny was right. He died gallantly” (154). He dies still thinking of other people, he dies a hero. Conversely, Dally dies selfishly and only looking out for himself. He dies under the street lamp, happy with how things turn out, while Johnny dies in a bed, scared and wishing he had done more. Ponyboy says ¨Dally didn't die a hero. He died violent and young and desperate¨ (154). He does not die peacefully like Johnny, he dies a harsh death, just because he breaks for not being a hero like Johnny. Ponyboy and the rest of the gang all know he would someday die like this. Ponyboy went on to saying ¨two friends of mine had died that night, one a hero, the other a hoodlum¨ (154).

    Many would say that the character Ponyboy should be the main hero of our story, but that’s just not the case. Ponyboy was easily pushed down, letting things get to him and letting his emotions take complete control. One push or slap from his brother and he runs away, like a cowardly lion scrambling into the tall grass of the savannah. Johnny on the other hand, is forced against abuse that no one should be able to be put through. Yet he stands his ground.

    Joe is portrayed as a very nice character in this book. I believe this is why Joe is such a likeable character. On the other hand his son, Matt, is very hated throughout Los Angeles. This is mostly because he is known to make bad decisions when it comes to football being the G.M. or the Bulldogs. For this reason Joe wasn't displayed as such a likeable character (this can also be seen on pg.18).

    Out of all of the members of the gang Johnny and Ponyboy were the closest, because they were the youngest and also they were not as tough as the other boys. After Ponyboy got in a fight with Darry about being late at getting home, Ponyboy ran to the lot and told Johnny that they were running away. Without hesitation the two boys took off running. Johnny needed no explanation. He had a rough life at home and without the support from the gang he may have already killed himself. Johnny just wanted to be there and support his friend like they had been supporting him through everything. At many points throughout the novel Ponyboy teaches or shows Johnny something new. “You know Johnny said slowly “I never noticed colors and clouds and stuff until you kept, reminding me about them. It seems like they were never there before” (Hinton,78). When Johnny says that to Ponyboy is gives readers a glimpse of how Johnny having Ponyboy in his life makes it better. Another key point of their friendship in the novel is after Johnny kills the Soc.

    Joe Gargery is a hardworking man who is loyal and fair to himself, his wife, and even Pip. He holds a job as the village blacksmith, as an understanding husband who only tries to do well for his wife, and aims to be a loving father to Pip regardless of the troubles in his life. In chapter two of the book, Joe Gargery is described as being, “mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered…a sort of Hercules in strength, and also in weakness.” (Dickens 7). Joe Gargery fits this description well and although he is a smart man, Charles Dickens gives him the characteristics of having little education, no grand ego, and a pure innocent spirit. Such values and characteristics can make the reader feel sympathy for Joe Gargery each time that Mrs. Joe becomes defensive against
