The Outsiders Chapter 4

To whom do Ponyboy and Johnny go to for help after the stabbing?

• Sodapop. He will do what he can for Ponyboy without letting Darry know.

• Dallas. If anyone can get them money, a gun, and a plan, it’s Dally.

• Two-Bit. He saw the Socs earlier that night, so he won’t need much of an explanation.
