“Sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. But all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn.” Johnny Cade. Johnny feels that when you live on the streets that whatever you learn, are all the wrong things. Johnny learned that he has to try his best not to end up like one of the tougher Greasers. Johnny really liked the book Gone with the Wind when Ponyboy read it to him; he enjoyed learning about t literature. He and Ponyboy would read the book while they were in hiding at the church. The way that Johnny responded to it was like he really believed that he and every body else could make a difference if they just didn’t act all tough. If the Greasers or any body else could try to think about the beautiful things in life that they normally would think about. For example; When Johnny saved those children from the burning church, he wanted good to happen on while he was still alive, whether he knew or not. Or when Johnny tried to get the big Socs off of Ponyboy, because they were choking him. He didn’t want these things to happen; he wanted every thing to just go away.

The Outsiders *2
Yesterday there was a tragic death of a young man, named, Johnny Cade. He died in the hospital with a story. And he wanted this story to be told.
While in hiding, for allegedly stabbing a former enemy to death, Johnny,and a friend seek out to a hiding place out in the country. While a couple of days have passed, an other friend comes to visit. While this reunion was taking place, there was a fire that spread thought the place that they were hiding at. So they ran to the burning building, and then found small, young, children trapped in side. So Johnny and his friend did the heroic thing and then decide to save the children. His friend survived, but Johnny was burnt very badly.
Johnny was in the hospital for about a month. His Friends would try to visit daily, but the doctors and nurses forbid them. Days have passed that we all think about the heroic boy the saved, but didn't save himself.

Yes, in a way they very much are. they look out for each other from harm, they take care of each other, and they treat each other, sometimes, like family.
I think that family doesn't always lay on blood. It matters on if you think of them enough to be close to your heart.
