Knowledge

I think Ponyboy has qualities to be a hero in this book for different reasons. First, he stands by his friends through the good and the bad. And also, he could change them into good from bad. For example, when Johnny killed one of the Socs, although Johnny killed because of Ponyboy, Ponyboy stayed all the way with Johnny until he dies in the end. Secondly, he saved the kids from burning church, although the kids were the strangers who don't have any relationships with. Third, when he went to the rumble between Socs and Greasers, he did his best to win, even though he wasn't in a really good condition.

In these cases, he showed his loyalty to his friends, also heroic side to the kids and mostly his friendship with Johnny.

If I were in the situation of Ponyboy was getting drowned, I would just pulled apart people from fight and bully. That could work actually, because its still better than just going to the jail, also, we can just stop it easily by talking.

Evaluation

I would like to spend a day with Sodapop, because he always makes people smile by him. And also, he is humorous. I just like to smile all day long with funny stories going between Sodapop and I.
