Pony Boy and Johnny decided to go into the fire at the church to help save the children in chapter six. I think that Pony boy was at the fifth level of the model because he helped save the kids without even thinking. He knew that it was his fault so he tried to help fix his mistake, not seeking for recognition. On page 91 Pony boy thinks in his head " We started this, we started this", he knew he had to help the struggling children. This gives proof that Pony was not trying to get attention, he was trying to make up for what he did, he knew he did a wrong and had to make it right. Pony did the right thing and not for anyone's attention just to save those kids.

Johnny saved the kids from the fire.I think he is a level 5. "Johnny shoved me towards the window.Get out!".pg 83. This shows that Johnny puts himself before others. He also went into the fire to help the kids out. Which is why I think he is a level 5.

Johnny asked Dally if he should always be on the run because he looks up to Dally. This shows that Johnny had a Level 3 because he makes choices to please someone he cares about. The text states, "If Dally had said yes, Johnny would have gone back to the church without hesitation." I believe that he his motivation is a Level 3 because he will do anything to please Dally. He believes that Dally knows the right thing to do, so he looks up to him. This is why I believe Johnny has a motivation Level of 3.

Ponyboy is a five on the Moral Development scale. This can be seen in his selfless act of rushing into the burning church to save the children from burning alive. This is seen on pg. 91 when Ponyboy says upon discovering the burning church, “I’ll get them, don’t worry!” before rushing into the church to retrieve them. This selfless act proves that he is at least a five on the scale as he thought more of the safety of the children other than the safety of himself.

Johnny saved the kids from the fire. I think Johnny is a level five. "Mrs. O'Briant and I think you were sent straight from heaven." (pg.95) I think Johnny was a level five because he saved a lot of kids lives and their parents were so happy and so thankful for Johnny.

Ponyboy fried to go back into the fire even thought he was not in a good condition. That demonstrates level 6 in the Model of Moral Development. “I staggered, almost falling, coughing and sobbing for breath. Then I heard Johnny scream, and I turned to go back for him…”(page 83) “Are Johnny and Dally alright?”(page 84) Ponyboy is constantly thinking of other people. It is a moral code that he follows. He constantly cares about his friends and family.

I think ponyboys level should be at a 5. I think that becuase he put his own life at risk to save kids. the children were told not to play in the church, on (pg 81). " I wasnt about to go through that flaming door, so I slammed a big rock through a window and pulled myself in" ponyboy said on (pg 81). i think that ponyboy did the right thing, but he could have waitde for the firemen to get there.

One choice Johnny made was to turn themselves in for killing the Soc. I would say that Johnny was motivated by level one, he didn't want to be punished. Johnny said, "We're going back and turning ourselves in. I got a good chance of being let off easy, I ain't got no record with the fuzz and it was self defense." pg. 87 Johnny didn't want to live in the church his whole life so he decided to turn himself in. He knew he would get punished but not too badly. He is also very terrified of the fuzz so he definitely didn't want to get punished.

I chose Darry, the choice he made was to be hard on ponyboy (because he loves him). The level that motivated this choice was level three and a bit of level five. Ponyboy mentions "Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he cared he was trying to hard to make something of me" (Hinton 87). This statement makes me think about all the times in the book that darry yelled and was worried about Ponyboy and I realized that it really is because he loves him so much.

I think that Ponyboy showed a level 5 choice. When the church was on fire, Ponyboy didn't hesitate to go help the kids trapped in there. It says on page 81 “I jerked loose and ran on. All I could think was: We started it. We started it. We started it!” This shows that Ponyboy did not care if he was hurt and he ran in only wanting to save those kids. He did not care if he was recognized or not. That's clearly a level 5 choice.

When Johnny wanted to turn himself in, he displayed a level six thinking level, because he was showing empathy and integrity. “...but now he announced: ‘We're goin’ back and turn ourselves in,” (Hinton, 77). Johnny did not want Pony to suffer with what he did, so he was showing empathy for Pony. Also, when he decided that he wanted to turn himself in, that showed that he had the integrity to stand up and admit his wrong doing.

In chapter six, Ponyboy and Johnny were about to go home when they saw that the church was on fire. Ponyboy’s first thought was that he started it, so he ran into the church to save the kids. I believe his level of thinking was at a six. ‘“I’ll get them, don’t worry!” I started to dead run for the church, and the man caught my arm… I jerked loose and ran on. All I could think was: We started it. We started it. We started it!” His thinking was at a level six because he thought he started it and didn’t want anyone to get hurt from his actions. He was so determined to save the kids that he even jerked loose from the man's arm.

I think that ponyboys moral development is a level 5, because in chapter 6 when the school burn down he ran in thinking it was his fault so he needed to fix his mistake. in doing so he saved multiple lives. "nbWe pushed open the door to the room and found four or five little kids, about eight years old or younger, huddled in the corner. One was screaming his head off, and Johnny yelled, 'Shut up! we're goin' to get you out!'(pg.92).

Johnny wanted to turn himself in to the police. I think that is a level 6 because he knows that it is the right thing to do. He knew that he never had a record of crime before and he didn’t want Ponyboy to get in trouble also by staying with him. He didn’t want to be stuck in the church for the rest of his life, this is all on pages 87-89. This is a level 6 because he recognizes he did something wrong and wants to fix it. He wants to be a better person and doesn’t want others to be accountable for his actions.

Ponyboy is at a five. The reason of this is because he ran into the church to save the kids and risked his life to get them out.  Some evidence of this is “‘I’ll go get them don't worry”’  (Hinton 81) Pony made the problem and others were going to get hurt because of it so he went to help them at the risk of his life.  Some other evidence is that they caused the problem so they had to help they felt. Pony is at a five because he went in to save others at the risk of his life.

Johnny ran into a burning church to save small children for the risk of losing his life. This is definitely a level 5 act of empathy. “‘Hey, Ponyboy.’ I looked around, startled. I hadn’t realized Johnny had been right behind me all the way.” page 81. Johnny followed Pony into the church to save children, because he didn’t want to let them die. He could’ve just stood there and watched and listened to them dying, but he did the right act and saved them, despite the fact that he might get hurt. He felt bad, and that it was his fault for the fire in the first place, and so he helped.

Johnny ran onto the burning church to save children demonstrating a level five empathy, because of how he put their lives over his. Johnny was with Ponyboy and ran into the church with him even know how scared he was. He also decided to push Ponyboy out of the way of the falling roof instead of running. This clearly shows that he values other's lives very much which aligns perfectly with level five "I think of others before I think of myself, and I don’t seek recognition for doing so". He does these things even though he is afraid and scared of doing it because he knows it's the right thing to do.

Pony Boy and Johnny were on the fifth level because they saved kids without even thinking. They went  into the fire at the church to help save the children. He tried to fix his mistake, not looking for  recognition.  On page 91 he says "We started this, we started this'', he had to help the endangered children. Pony was not trying to get attention, he was trying to make up for what he did. Pony did the right thing not for attention but to save those kids.

Johnny's empathy level is at a five. It is at a five because he ran into a church that was burning building to save kids. On page 81 Johnny said "Hey ponyboy.' I looked around , startled. I hadn't realized Johnny had been right behind me." Johnny wanted to help save the kids in the church. I think that is really kind because all of those kids would have died. He decided to save children but possibly get burn to death.

I think a level 5 action that Pony and Johnny did in this book was saving kids from the burning church, which they might have caused from a lit cigarette. They sacrificed their lives to save those kids, and they were only thinking about them and not themselves, which shows its a level 5 action. “I’ll get them don’t worry!” I started a dead run for the church”. “We put it out before you got burned. That jacked saved you from a bad burning, maybe even saved your life.” This is why I think this is a good example of a level 5 action that Pony and Johnny did to save those kids.

I believe that Ponyboy is at a level 5. My choice was dictated by the fact that he went into a burning church to save a bunch of children. He was told to let an adult handle it but be refused to sit on the sidelines. He wrestled his hand loose and ran straight into the building. He was told to leave because the building was collapsing but he didn't care, he kept getting kids out to safety. His act of bravery was impressive beyond most people's recognition.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked Johnny for number 5 empathy. Johnny ran back into the fire to save the kids and pushed Ponyboy out before the roof collapsed on him. page 91 Johnny made sure he was the last one out so everyone else was safe. He put himself before everyone else like number 5 empathy where you think of others before yourself.

Ponyboy decided to run after some kids in a burning church to save them. I would say this act is a level 5. He is showing empathy towards the kids and risking his own life to save theirs. It says on page 91 "'I'll get them, don't worry!' I started at a dead run for the church, and the man caught my arm." I think that  Ponyboy was doing the right thing by saving those kids because there weren't a lot of other people that would not have done that and it would have been really sad for Sodapop and Darry to lose Ponyboy that way.

In chapter 6, Ponyboy ran into the church that was on fire to save the other children who were stuck in there. He didn’t care that he could have been injured, he was only concerned about the kids inside the church. I think that he was a level 5 which is empathy because he thought of others before he thought about himself, and he didn’t seek recognition. Pony thought that he was to blame because him and Johnny had been smoking in the church. He thinks about others before himself. Ponyboy has a lot of empathy.
