What is NOT true about the gun that Dally is carrying?

Dally has shot many people with it already.

Dally only wants to be able to use to be threatening.

How does Ponyboy know that Dallas wanted to die?

Dally knew the gun wasn't loaded, and he knew the police would shoot him if he pulled out a gun.

Dally knew that Johnny wouldn't ever walk again, and he felt guilty for causing Johnny's injuries.

Dally told him the plan to die after the rumble.

Dally thought the gun was loaded, and he was counting on being able to take his own life.

Explain why HOPELESS might be a good word to describe Dally.

He had been trapped into a rough life that he wasn't able to ever escape.

He never believed that he could be a Soc, so he didn't even want to try.

He knew he would end up in jail, and he didn't want to lose his innocence.

He had to be a Greaser because of who his friends were, but he really belonged with the Socs.

Paul Holden and Darry start the rumble. Why did the author mention Paul Holden for this one scene?

Paul and Darry had been friends, but the separation of their neighborhoods made them not understand each other anymore.

Paul and Darry were enemies since high school, so they were the best representations of Greasers vs. Socs.

Paul and Darry are each the leader of their groups, so they were the only real choice to start the rumble.

Paul was Darry's best friend until Paul became a Soc and abandoned Darry.

Which of the following is NOT true about the boys being called heroes after rescuing the kids from the fire?

Cherry Valance refuses to talk to any of the Greasers even though everyone thinks they are heroes.

Randy doesn't think he would have saved the kids, and he can't believe the Greasers would either.

Two-Bit is mad that the newspaper says that the boys 'turned' into heroes- he thinks they were heroes all along.

Jerry Wood is stunned to find out that the boys are Greasers after he watches them save the children's lives.

Sunsets are used a symbol in the book to mean that:

Everyone sees the same sunset, no matter where they live- so everyone has something in common.

Each day must come to an end, so every good thing must come to an end.

Everyone sees the same sunset, so they should focus on nature instead of each other's differences.

If you look at nature, you're a better person.

When Ponyboy sees Bob's picture in the yearbook, he tries to understand Bob's life. This is important in the story because

It shows how Ponyboy has become more understanding of Socs- which teaches that people should be more accepting.

It shows that Ponyboy feels guilt and shame for what happened to Bob- which is what makes Ponyboy stay a Greaser.

It shows that Bob was a bad person and deserved to die- which connects to the idea that everyone gets what they deserve.

It shows that Ponyboy hasn't changed at all- which explains why Ponyboy only cared about Johnny dying.

A true mentor helps the main character CHANGE and GROW in the story. Who is the best mentor for Ponyboy and why?

Cherry- she helps Ponyboy see that people are more alike than they seem.

Cherry- she helps Ponyboy see that people never change.

Dally- he helps Ponyboy see that getting tough makes life easier

Dally- he helps Ponyboy see that it's better to never love anyone.

Why is Johnny's letter to Ponyboy so important?

It resolves some of the sadness and pain that Ponyboy was feeling about Johnny's death.

It makes Ponyboy an emotional wreck.

It explains why Johnny chose to die for what he believes in.

It reminds Ponyboy that Johnny really did kill Bob, so it's okay that Johnny died.

The book is Pony's essay for his English class.

Ponyboy didn't know how to tell his story.

Ponyboy is using Johnny's words for emphasis.

Ponyboy wants the readers to blame the Socs.

Why is this book called The Outsiders?

Because a lot of people don't "fit" in their own group.

Because the message is to NOT judge people by their outsides.

Because they hang out outside a lot.

Because Ponyboy wants to encourage people to always be outside looking in.

When they're in the country, Ponyboy recites the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay". What does the poem mean?

Good things only last for a short while.

Gold is too expensive for them to ever actually own.

Good things are only found in nature.

Loving our friends is the only thing that lasts.

When the boys are in the country, Ponyboy recites the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay". Johnny later refers to the poem in his final words and his letter to Ponyboy. What does it mean to be GOLD in all of these moments?

Being "gold" means being innocent or pure.

Being "gold" means that you value nature.

Being "gold" means that you are immature.

Being "gold" means that you think you're better than others.

Which of these examples could help explain the theme, "you shouldn't judge people by their appearances"?

Randy thinks he knows how all Greasers act- but he realizes he's wrong when he understands that Pony is just a regular guy like him who just did the right thing at the right time.

Cherry talks to Ponyboy like he's a regular guy instead of judging him for being from a rough neighborhood.

Ponyboy assumes that Darry doesn't have any worries because he's older and big and strong-- only later in the story does he realize how hard things are for him.

People are surprised that the boys saved the kids from the fire because they assumed that all Greasers were mean and hard-hearted.
