Question

Question 1: On page 37, why did Ponyboy talk so harshly to Johnny about his home life? What emotion do you think Ponyboy was feeling when Johnny mentioned he didn't know he didn't get along with his brothers?

Question 2: On page 42, what are the different ways that the greasers handle being treated as "outsiders"? What does it mean to be an "outsider"?

Answer 1

Answer: Answer 1: Ponyboy spoke so harshly about Johnny's home life because his folks didn't even care about him and he was getting beat, and he still stayed home. Ponyboy felt mad because when Darry saw him doing homework and getting A he told him to play football, then the reverse, and that's why Ponyboy didn't like Darry.

Answer 2: Greasers handle being an "outsider" by doing whatever they could by getting money and supplies. An outsider means your left out by others and not invited by others.
