Summary of the outliers (5-7)
In
the next day, Johnny got back to the church in the outside as Ponyboy woke up. He
brought lots of supplies, such as baloney and cigarettes, and a paperback copy
that signed Gone with the Wind. Also, they had cut the hair in order to
camouflage themselves. As they were reading the paperback, Johnny mentioned
that the southern gentleman was similar to Dally, but Ponyboy disagreed, and
thought that Dally was similar to others greasers. Besides, a poem called “Nothing
Gold Can Stay” touched Johnny as Ponyboy was reading it to him. After a few
days, Dally appeared in the church and told them that the police have already
discovered the body of Bob, and seeking for that murderer. After that, he also
mentioned that Socs and greasers will meet in a day as Socs was thinking that
the murderer must be one of the greasers.
At
this moment, Johnny told Dally that he wanted to confess to his crime, and
asked him to drive him back even he tried to purchase him not to do that. During
the period of way of returning home, they all saw that the church was on fire
as they were approaching it. Both of Johnny and Ponyboy jumped out of the car
and went to church because they believed that the fire was originated in their
cigarette butt. Afterward, they went to save the children that one of the married
couple was calling for help that their children were missing. They did find the
children and lift them out of the window. At this moment, the roof fell down, Johnny
was screaming after he lifted Ponyboy out of the window. Ponyboy did not have a
chance to save him because Dally was knocked him down in order to prevent him
to back to the fire place. As Ponyboy woke up and noticed that he was in an
ambulance, there was a teacher called Jerry Wood that Dally saved his life, but
he was burned, and also told him that Johnny was there as well. Then, Ponyboy
told the story about Bob’s death to Jerry as they were in hospital. Jerry
believed that Johnny was just in self-defense at that moment, and purchased him
not to smoke. Afterward, Ponyboy went to hug with his brothers as Darry and
Sodapop both arrived, and also he believed that everything will be fine.
At
the same time, the police came to find Ponyboy in order to write a report about
their incident. After that, the doctors came to explain that Johnny will be
crippled as his back was broken by the burning roof. In the next day, they have
read the newspaper about them during breakfast. It mentioned Ponyboy, Johnny,
and Dally all were heroes as they saved the children in the church. Besides, it
also said that Johnny will be charged in manslaughter. Also, Ponyboy might be
sent to the boy’s home after they went to the juvenile court. In there, he told
other boys that he had a nightmare last night that the first time of occurring was
in the previous night of his parent’s funeral. In the next day, he did ask
Sodapop about Sandy, and Sodapop told him she was in pregnancy. But her parents
were not allowed their marriage because they thought Sodapop was still too
young. Then, in the restaurant, they noticed a blue Mustang and some Socs were
in there. Randy came over to find Ponyboy for a secret talk, and it was in
order to ask him why he did save the children as he was being one of the greasers.
Throughout a conversation, Ponyboy realized that Socs can be human and vulnerable.
