TWO BOYS ON THE RUN AFTER MURDER AT LOCAL PARK

TWO BOYS ON THE RUN AFTER MURDER AT LOCAL PARK

# data[].attributes.body
By Zalan Fasanga

17 year old Johhny Cade murdered 18 year old Robert 'Bob' Sheldon after Bob was reported to be drowning 14 year old 'Ponyboy' Curtis.

Johnny Cade and 'Ponyboy' were reported as to be acquaintances and part of a gang called 'the greasers.' Robert Sheldon however is said to be apart of a rival group referred to as the 'Socs.'

The murder was committed by Johnny Cade, who slashed his switchblade at Robert Sheldon who was holding Ponyboy Curtis in a fountain to drown.

Johnny was reported to be using his weapon in defensive to prevent his friend from being killed. However, Robert Sheldon was reported to be drowning Ponyboy after he and a few other acquaintances had been with Robert Sheldon's partner, Cherry Valance.

The incident happened early in the morning, supposedly at 3 am after the two had been woken up by Robert Sheldon and company. Johnny and friend were said to be camping out in a vacant lot in a local park in the East side of town, which is where they were last seen.

The two boys have been missing ever since with no trace of whereabouts. Dallas Winston, another acquaintance of both Johnny and Ponyboy, stated that they were headed towards Texas.

This poem relates to the characters in the novel since the poem mentions that everything is beautiful in it's early days, but fades with the passing hours. This can be seen with essentially all the characters, who all started off as normal kids but some event caused them to be tough and to lose their innocence or beauty. This can most notably be seen with Ponyboy, who at the start of the novel is very innocent, only reading books, not interested in fights but slowly over the course of the story and especially after Johnny's death, we can see that Ponyboy is acting tough with him even threatening Socs with a broken bottle, something he stated in earlier in a book he would never use to harm someone.

I think what Robert Frost is suggesting with these uses of imagery is that sometimes, it's the simple things that hold the most beauty. The poem uses leaves, simple plant-life, to demonstrate this.

Natures first green is gold: The sight of greenery is beautiful that is is set to standard a comparable to gold.

Her early leaf's a flower: Even a simple leaf is at the same beauty of a flower during the Spring / blooming season.

I think the S. E. Hinton included these tragic outcomes in the last two chapters because I feel that the author wanted to highlight the fact that everything comes with a consequence, whether that be good or bad. As an example of this, the greasers were being labelled as hero's in the newspaper's and they won against the Socs, but with that they lost people that every looked up to and people that connected the group. I think that these outcomes are necessary for the novel because they prove the loyalty that the group has for each other and their bond that can be compared to a family. I say this because Dally, for instance, was so affected by Johnny's death that he would rather be shot by the police than to deal with the trauma.

The rumble was happening at 7 o'clock and by 6:30, Ponyboy was back home to meetup with the gang, with whom presumably two members would not show up; Dally and Johnny. The rules of the rumble were no weapons and first ones to run lost. The Greasers would be with Tim Shepard's gang and the Brumly's. The Socs out numbered the Greaser's and associates 22 to 20. The rumble started when Darry faced of with Paul Holden, soon after Dally had joined the rumble. Ponyboy was nearly knocked out a few time but thanks to Darry and Dally, he was alright. The Socs ran off and Dally had told Ponyboy to  rush to hospital to see Johnny. Once at the hospital, Johnny was deathly sick and died soon after Dally had told him that he was proud of him and the he was being made a hero in the papers as well as the other greasers. Before dying, Johnny tells Ponyboy the following; "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold...". After Johnny's death Dally breaks down and punches the walls in frustration / anger.

My final prediction is that the rumble between the gangs will happen, which will lead to some one being harmed. I believed that from here is could go two ways; either both parties decided that this fighting is solving nothing or that this will only escalated things further, and further until it reaches some sort of climax.

# data[].attributes.body
Another one of my predictions is that Ponyboy is some how going to stop the rumble from going down and restore some peace into the community, possibly with the help of Randy.

One of my predictions is that Ponyboy and Sodapop are going to run away  for good this time. I suspect that is could be from fear of punishment from the cops from being involved in the murder of Bob or from something that happened at the rumble.

An example of irony I find in the novel was that the greasers would save a group of children even though they are thought of as 'juvenile delinquents.'

# data[].attributes.body
An example of irony I find in the novel was that Ponyboy expected the countryside and his life there to be relaxing, with him sitting under trees reading and looking at the nature around him while it was the opposite, with him hiding inside an old, dark church; smoking cigarettes and paranoid about police finding them.

# data[].attributes.body
An example of situational irony I find in the novel was that Johnny and Ponyboy were hiding in a church from prosecution of murder. I find this ironic since church is meant (or at least supposed to be) for people who are good or want to better themselves, while the boys are hiding from one of the worst things someone could do; murder.

Is loyalty more important to you than “popularity” or “fitting in”? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that loyalty is more important than fitting in or being popular since loyalty comes back around and is mutual, whereas being popular you are more susceptible to betrayal of others. I think this because with being popular and fitting in you constantly have to please everyone and possibly betray others slightly, inevitably leading to that coming back and causing conflict. In contrast, being loyal to others will makes them loyal to you, and overall less conflict. This is especially important considering the mob mentality seen in recent times that cause people to loose their jobs and ruining their livelihoods.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that loyalty still holds it's importance as it's held in the past because we live in a very exploitative time where all our data is online and at everyone's fingertips. I believe loyalty holds the same principle value of giving security, but now in a different manner. Instead of security for our lives as in the past, it is security of our livelihood and our privacy. As an example of the exploitative nature of the present, we can look at social media, which can be accessed by anyone, and has caused people such as James Gunn, the director of movies such as Guardians of the Galaxy to be fired from their jobs.
