The integral setting in this story is the church. This is the most important place because almost everything important happens there. Johnny saves children and becomes a hero not a murderer it's also where they go to hide after Johnny murders Bob. It says, "There's an old abandoned church on top of Jay Mountain" (61). Dally gave them this idea to hide on top off the mountain in a church. The author puts the church in there because they needed a place for Johnny and Ponyboy to go that she could keep her.

The theme in The Outsiders is that everyone makes mistakes, but that doesn't mean they are a terrible person. We know this because Johnny was wanted for killing a man but was later named a hero because he saved the lives of innocent children. It says,"I'll get them... I looked around, startled. I hadn't realized Johnny had been right behind me all the way"(91-92). This was the moment that changed Johnny's life, this is why he became a hero. The author also uses this theme because everybody make mistakes some big some small. No matter what you do there's always a way to build yourself back and be stronger then before.

When we did the personality test for Johnny we got the vitrtruso. This describes Johnny in some ways but not all. The strengths section is a little off, when they say that he is optimistic and energetic as well as spontaneous and rational. This doesn't describe Johnny very well, but the weakness section does. It says, "His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him"(12). This is why Johnny acts so quiet, and rarely talks to anyone. The test says, that one is risky behavior and private and reserved.

Some of Johnny's flaws include not being able to use his brain. This causes him to act out and do things that get him in trouble or in a not so good situation. Like in the book when he kills Bob he wasn't really thinking that he could kill Bob if he stabbed him. It says, "He was sitting next to me, one elbow on his knee, and staring straight ahead. He was a strange greenish-white, and his eyes were huger than I'd ever seen them. I killed him, he said slowly. I killed the boy" (56). He also goes into the burning building to save kids he's never met. He has trouble thinking, before he does something.

I think that Bob is the Villain/Monster. I think this because he and his gang had beat up Johnny. He almost started a fight with Two-Bit, Johnny, and Ponyboy. He also, almost had a guy kill Ponyboy, by drowning him.

Johnny is the type of person to wake up and have nothing planned and just does whatever life throws at him. Johnny is extremely hard to have a relationship with, however if you're lucky enough to have one with him he holds on and loves you with all his heart. We know this because in the book it says "If it hadn't been for the gang, Johnny would have never have know what love and affection are"(12). They also say "But he and the rest of the gang knew Johnny cared and did everything he could to make it up to him."

I think that Soda is the Sidekick in the book, the Outsiders. I think that Soda is the sidekick because he really cares about Ponyboy, and what will happen to him. He tries to keep Pony out of trouble, and Soda sometimes tries to give Pony advice. Soda is for sure the sidekick.

I think that Dally is the Hotshot of this book. It think this because throughout the whole book Dally is always taking risks, no matter what the cost is, and sometimes the cost is bad and painful. It says, "...but Dally hated to do things the legal way"(20). Dally takes risks because it is more fun for him. Dally is the Hotshot.

I  think that Darry is the Know-it-all of the book. I think that Darry is the Know-it-all because he learned from his parents, and he knows what is best. He needs to know a lot because he has to take care of Soda and Johnny like they are his kids, he has to keep them safe. Darry is the Know-it-all.

Johnny is a hero. He jumped into a burning building to save the lives of children he didn't even knew walked this Earth! They say in the book, "One was screaming his head off, and Johnny yelled, "Shut up! Were goin' to get you out" (92). I'm 100% sure he did that not because he needed to clear his name from killing Bob, but he did it because he is an amazing person willing to die for the lives of other children.

I think that Johnny is the Tragic Hero in the book. I think this because he took a risk, on trying to save the kids in the burning  He ended up making a bad decision on when to get out of the church, it burnt down, and caused Johnny to be in the hospital. Johnny's injury was so severe he ended dying because of his bad judgement.

I think that Ponyboy is the Reluctant Hero in this book. I think this because starts out as an ordinary greaser, then ends up being a hero. He became a hero by saving some children in burning church. He didn't plan to be the hero, he didn't really want to be the hero, but something had to be done, someone had to save the children.

I believe the reason that Johnny killed Bob was only self defense. He was trying to save Ponyboy from being drowned in  the fountain. In the book it says, "I had to. They were drowning you, Pony. They might have killed you"(57). He never would have otherwise killed Bob if they had not attacked them.

Johnny is a wilting flower. When he tries to  grow the soil he sucks in is poisonous causing him to break apart and wilt all over again. The book says "If you can picture a little dark puppy that had been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowed of strangers, you'll have Johnny" (11). Then when he finally grows into a beautiful colorful flower he is stepped on causing him to die and get old and dried out.
