The first few pages of the book has shocked me as the issues discussed in the book which was written in 1967 are still present in today ‘s day of the month. Issues such as pack wars are still present today and have caused deceases of many immature and old human existences. Furthermore, when the Socs had attacked Ponyboy, the ideas that were running through my head all pointed to the decease of Ponyboy. The sudden appear of Ponyboy ‘s pack was really unexpected and demonstrated a really tight relationship between Ponyboy and his pack members. When reading about Johnny ‘s life and seeing how immature the character is, I could experience the emotions that he is traveling through.

Dally ‘s manner of non making anything lawfully makes me inquire, what might hold been the most illegal offense that he has committed? Sing the buildup of Johnny ‘s personality, I feel that Johnny is traveling to acquire out his depression and return to his normal ego. When Cherry had hit Dally in the face with the coke, I got this retaliation feeling that I get, when I get retaliation on my friends and relations. When reading about how Johnny was beaten up bad, I wonder what punishment the Socs had gotten when they beat Johnny up. I besides wonder what Johnny is traveling to make to get the better of his fright and how he is traveling to acquire retaliation on the Socs, because if I was in the topographic point of Johnny I would decidedly kick to the constabulary. By my position, I think Ponyboy should n’t hold told Cherry about Johnny ‘s personal life since Ponyboy was stating Cherry ( a complete alien to Ponyboy ) about Johnny ‘s personal life. When my friends state me about their personal lives, I have ne’er told anybody else about it because my friends have trusted me adequate to state me about their lives. As Ponyboy faced a batch of problem thought of the problems the Socs could hold, I had the same job because when you have money and epicurean ownerships I do n’t see what troubles you have since money bargains felicity.

While reading this subdivision of the book it occurs to me that the names that the writer has chosen to stand for certain characters are really original. Ponyboy and Sodapop were names that I would ne’er call my kids. Why has the writer chosen really original names? The writer could hold chosen names that are present in the day-to-day lives but why choose names that are original. In add-on, in many narratives there some connexion between the name and the narrative but in this instance at that place seems to be no connexion at all. When Ponyboy and Johnny were puting down in the batch and looking at stars, it reminded me of my bivouacing trip to Canadian Forces Base Borden. When Two-Bit slapped Ponyboy, I truly felt that Ponyboy needed it because he was doing merriment of a immature male child ‘s suffering childhood and his household who neglects him. Ponyboy ‘s actions on Johnny could do him more down and gives him more ground to detest his life. If I was present in that state of affairs, I would hold done the same thing as Two-Bit. When the Socs had passed by with their bluish mustangs I had a really bad feeling that there was traveling to be a battle between the two groups.

In add-on, Johnny had killed her fellow Bob so why on Earth would Cherry assist the Greasers? That was truly confusing as I do n’t understand the relationship between Cherry and Bob. When Dally was seeking to convert Johnny it was a bad thought for him to turn himself in made me believe about how Dally ‘s personality has changed. Dally at foremost was shown to us as a felon who does n’t wish making things lawfully and a individual who is really ill-mannered and detached. At present when Dally was giving advice to Johnny his personality seems to hold been changed as he seems to be more caring about Johnny ‘s life. When Ponyboy, Johnny and Dally were salvaging the wetbacks, it surprised me because I thought they would run off and salvage their lives as a typical individual would make.

When reading about how Darry was shouting when he saw Ponyboy made me fell truly happy as the two brothers eventually had gotten along.

By my position, I think that Ponyboy should be allowed to populate with his brothers as all the brothers are acquiring along with each other and both Darry and Sodapop take great attention of Ponyboy.

Randy ‘s visit to Ponyboy ‘s house had gotten me truly angry. At first I thought that Randy was sing because he wanted to see if Ponyboy was making all right but as he started to speak to Ponyboy I realize that he was merely at that place because he was scared about the test and wanted to speak about it more. That truly got me angry as Randy was merely at that place for more information about the test non because he was seeking to be nice and see how Ponyboy was retrieving. I hate it when certain people ne’er talk to you and so when they need help they come running to you until they get what they want from you.

In add-on, when Darry had told Randy that Ponyboy had still non recovered to the full from his emotional dislocation I felt relived and my wonder for this book ended.

The test consequences were perfect and I was truly happy that Ponyboy got to remain with Sodapop and Darry. Ponyboy ‘s great dip in his instruction truly surprised me as I don non understand what had caused this dip in his faculty members. Ponyboy ‘s actions against the Socs truly surprised me as I started to believe that all the promotion and the few cruel yearss, he had spent had changed his personality and the manner he utilize to make things. When Sodapop had ran out of the house I was all of a sudden worried about Sodapop and trusting that he stayed off from problem. I felt truly happy when the Curtis brother eventually agreed to lodge together. I was truly happy to cognize that Johnny thinks that it was deserving to salvage the lives of the guiltless kids and that he was non afraid of deceasing any longer. This makes me experience that Johnny had really accomplished a batch in life. This book really is a great book to read as it covered a batch of societal issues and I would decidedly urge this book to anyone.
