We think the following two terms are really important to the book.

Foreshadowing: The part that talks about how Johnny got beat up foreshadows him killing Bob.  In the book, it says, "But after the night of the beating, Johnny was jumpier than ever. I didn’t think he’d ever get over it….Nobody was ever going to beat him again. Not over his dead body.”(34). Then, when he saw Ponyboy being attacked by Bob, he didn't want Ponyboy to be hurt the way he did, and then he attacked Bob. The textual evidence found implicates the lengths Johnny would go to protect himself and his gang.

Integral Setting: If the gang wasn't located in the specific neighborhood, but in a more sophisticated neighborhood or one that's not divided by classes, then there probably wouldn't be all of these different gangs fighting. Then the gang members wouldn't be so close to each other, which is the whole point of "The Outsiders". They talk about this in the lines, "I'm not sure how you spell it, but Socs is the abbreviation for Socials, the West-side rich kids. It's like the term greaser that's used to class all us boys on the East Side" (2). It shows that "Socs" applied to kids in a richer class.

Ponyboy: The Underdog, he got attacked by Bob, but he would have never been attacked if he hadn't gotten Cherry's attention or if he didn't go to the movie theatre/go to the park. But in the end, he wasn't the victim, Bob was.

Dally: The Hotshot, Dally takes risks with the police all the time, and he seems to crave fights when he isn't in action. He also tends to prefer not to talk and enjoy life with the gang members. He also takes on the cold archetype, where he is super tough and cool, but antisocial.

Darry: The Reluctant Hero, Darry was an ordinary boy living with his parents and two younger brothers, when his life changes suddenly because his parents died in a car crash. He is forced to bring up his two brothers on his own, working his butt off to support both of them. This makes him a reluctant hero because he didn't want to raise his brothers, but he decided to not go to college, but raise his brothers instead.

Johnny: The Victim, Johnny was almost set up to die. He was always driven to help others, as shown by when he helped Ponyboy when Ponyboy was attacked by Bob. So when Johnny was  kind in the movie theater to Cherry and Marcia, making Bob attack Johnny, making Johnny save Ponyboy, and eventually landing near the church where the kids were in danger. Johnny, of course, ran into danger and eventually got hurt bad enough to die. The author put Johnny in situations that would eventrually lead to his death.

Sodapop: The Confident, Sodapop was always there for Ponyboy. He always encouraged Ponyboy, and took care of him when he got sick in the end. Ponyboy sometimes even said that he felt that Sodapop was the only one who loved him.

Cherry: The Mediator as shown by how she tries to soothe relations between the Socs and the Greasers. This is shown when it says, "'She said she felt that the whole thing was her own fault, which it is, and that she'd keep up with what was comin' off with the Socs in the rumble and would testify that the Socs were drunk and looking for a fight and that you fought back in self-defense.'"(85-86). This showed that she was willing to help the Greasers even though she, herself, was a Soc. It also says, "But Bob was something special. He wasn't just any boy....Do you know what I mean?' I did, Cherry saw the same things in Dallas. That was why she was afraid to see him, afraid of loving him."(129). This shows that she can love both Socs and Greasers. Cherry doesn't want a fight, she wants to have them just talk it through as shown by the rumble. When Ponyboy talks to Randy, and realizes Randy and Cherry both are Socs who don't want a fight as he talked to Randy.

We think Johnny is a horse. This is because Johnny will follow those he trusts and run when there is danger near but if it puts his friends at risk, he will do whatever he can do to keep them safe. Like in the lines, "'I killed him,' he said slowly. 'I killed that boy'" (56). In the line, he killed Bob because Bob was trying to kill Ponyboy. Johnny is also a horse because after he killed Bob, he ran away with Johnny because he didn't want to be caught by the police, which in this scenario, would be the danger. For example, it said, "Johnny looked around, slapped his pockets nervously. 'We gotta get outa here. Get somewhere. Run away. The police'll be here soon.'"(57). It shows how he was going to run from the police. He even has a magnificent flowing mane.

We found 2 things on the personality test that we thought that really matched Johnny; that he takes things personally and is difficult to get to know. We think that he takes things personally because he really takes it to heart when his parents beet him up and is generally, mean to him as shown by when it says, "and his mother ignored him, except when she hacked off at something, and then you could hear her yelling at him clear down at our house. I think he hated that worse then getting whipped"(12). He is really introverted across the story as shown by when it says, "He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn't help matters." (11-12). It also said, "Johnny was always nervous around strangers."(24) One thing we found that doesn't match Johnny at all is when it said that he is passionate and energetic. This is shown by when Cherry is talking about him and Ponyboy, "'You two are too sweet to scare anyone...And you two don't look mean.'"(26). This shows that their attitude isn't very terror inducing and energetic in general.

He's really sensitive and submissive, but in the end, when somebody is in trouble, he will stand up for them as shown by when he ran into the burning church to save the kids and when he stood up to Dally at the movie theater. Johnny also has flaws relating to his desires. He just wants love from the people in his world, and in the end, it killed him. He experienced a ton of loss and pain because he didn't get what he wanted from the people around him, his parents, etc.

He wanted his parents to love him. Even though the whole gang loves him, he thinks it still isn't the same as parental love. This is shown in the text, "'Shoot,' I said, startled out of my misery, 'you got the whole gang. Dally didn't slug you tonight 'cause you're the pet. I mean, golly, Johnny, you got the whole gang.' 'It ain't the same as having your own folks car about you,' Johnny said simply. 'It just ain't the same'(51-52). He also wants everything to be peaceful and happy in general as shown by when it said, "'Well, I won't. But I gotta do something. It seems like there's gotta be someplace without greasers or Socs, with just people. Plain, ordinary people."(48). This showed that Johnny didn't want the social classes of Socs and Greasers, he just wanted a peaceful community of people.

He wanted his family to stop abusing him and to have them love him. He wanted to do the right thing and find his place in the world. This is shown when Johnny runs into the burning house to save the kids. Also, Johnny is always accepted in the gang, so he is always protective of them no matter what they do as shown by when he says, "'Dally's okay', Johnny said defensively,"(26). Johnny was defending Dally, even though he didn't really agree with Dally's actions at the movie theater.
