Superman is a famous superhero known for having godlike powers which include flying, super strength, invulnerability, x-ray vision, and the ability to shoot laser beams from his eyes. In the following quote from The Outsiders (chapter 5), what does the allusion to Superman tell us about Dally and Darry's character? "Of all of us, Dally was the one I liked least. He didn't have Soda's understanding or dash, or Two-Bit's humor, or even Darry's superman qualities."

Darry is known for being heroic and strong, unlike Dally

Dally is known for being heroic and strong, unlike Darry

Dally and Darry both possess heroic and strong qualities

Darry can shoot lasers from his eyes, unlike Dally

Great Expectations is a book written by Charles Dickens in the late 1800s. The story follows a boy named Pip who is born poor and - through mysterious circumstances - is later taught how to be more like a rich gentleman. One of his main struggles in the novel is that he finds it difficult to fit in with rich society because he was born to a poor family. What can we infer about Ponyboy's life and experience based on this allusion to Great Expectations from Chapter 1? "I was still thinking about it while I was doing my homework that night. I had to read Great Expectations for English, and that kid Pip, he reminded me of us--- the way he felt marked lousy because he wasn't a gentleman or anything, and the way that girl kept looking down on him."

Ponyboy and his friends are looked down on by others because they are poor, just like Pip

Ponyboy was born poor, but like Pip, he is now being taught how to behave like a gentleman

Ponyboy and Pip both fell in love with girls who didn't love them back

Ponyboy and Pip both hate rich people

In Chapter 5, Ponyboy and Johnny are reading the book Gone with the Wind and end up talking about southern gentlemen , comparing them to their friends Soda, Dally, and Two-Bit. Southern gentlemen in the book were known for having good manners, treating others well, and being brave. Based on their conversation, what can you infer about what Ponyboy (our narrator) and Johnny each think of Dally? "I bet [southern gentlemen] were cool ol' guys," [Johnny] said, his eyes glowing, after I had read the part about them riding into sure death because they were gallant. "They remind me of Dally." "Dally?" I said, startled. "Shoot, he ain't got any more manners than I do. And you saw how he treated those girls the other night. Soda's more like them Southern boys." "Yeah... in the manners bit, and the charm, too, I guess," Johnny said slowly, "but one night I saw Dally gettin' picked up by the fuzz, and he kept real cool and calm the whole time. They was gettin' him for breakin' out the windows in the school building, and it was Two-Bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without battin' an eye or even denyin' it. That's gallant."

Ponyboy thinks that Dally isn't like a southern gentleman because of his manners and how he treats girls. Johnny thinks that Dally is like a southern gentleman because he was willing to take punishment for his friend's actions without complaint.

Ponyboy and Johnny both think that Dally is like a southern gentleman because Dally is "cool and gallant."

Ponyboy thinks that Dally is like a southern gentleman because he treats his friends well. Johnny thinks that Dally isn't like a southern gentleman because he isn't as well-mannered or charming as Soda.

Ponyboy and Johnny both think that Dally isn't like a southern gentleman because he doesn't have "manners and charm" the way that Soda does.

In Chapter 5 of The Outsiders, Ponyboy recites a poem - Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost - to Johnny. The poem talks about how everything, especially something beautiful, eventually fades away or dies. "Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay ." Johnny later tells Ponyboy to " stay gold ." Knowing his allusion to Robert Frost's poem, what does Johnny mean when he tells Ponyboy to " stay gold "?

Johnny is telling Ponyboy that he shouldn't change by letting his personality and character fade away.

Johnny is telling Ponyboy that he isn't allowed to die.

Johnny is telling Ponyboy that he should appreciate nature more.

Johnny is telling Ponyboy that he should accept the fact that everything fades away or dies.
