Chapter 9 and 10 Review
1. Why does each of the Greasers fight?
Soda fought for fun, Darry for pride,
Two-Bit for conformity, Steve for hatred

tell you about his character?
Pony’s logic that fighting is only for selfdefense shows responsibility and maturity.
He’s not looking for trouble and has no
interest in physical violence.
3. How is Tim Shepard’s gang different than
the Curtises’ group of Greasers?
They had a leader and were organized.
Pony’s gang were friends who just stuck
together. Also, he describes them as being
young hoods who will become old hoods.

ashamed to be on the side of the greasers.

steps this time” describes the change in mood.
Before the rumble, they were filled with a
nervous excitement. Running to save Dally was
serious.
8. Why do you think Dally may have wanted to
die?
I think losing Johnny was too much pain for
Dally Johnny needed Dally. Perhaps without
feeling needed by Johnny, Dally had no purpose
and was lost.

encounters the police.
Dally had robbed a grocery store and
the cops were after him. The gang was to
meet Dally at the park and hide him from

police fired in response, killing Dally.

the pain and loss caused by Johnny and
Dally’s deaths.

may have called out while he was sick and

accidentally hurt Darry’s feelings if he didn’t
ask for him while he was ill

Chapter 11 and 12 Review
1. What are some of the thoughts that go
through Ponyboy’s head as he looks at
Bob’s picture in the yearbook?
Good looking, liked to pick fights, must
have been nice because Cherry was a
smart girl, Randy said he was the best buddy
a guy could ever have, “A reckless hot
tempered boy, cocky and scared stiff at the
same time.”
2. Why does Randy come to visit Ponyboy?
He came to see if he is ok, but also
because they have to go see the judge the
next day
3. Explain why Pony would prefer anyone’s
hate over their pity.
When you pity someone, you make
excuses for them instead of holding them
accountable. Pony is responsible and mature,
he is also riddled with guilt and wants to be
held accountable.
4. Why did Ponyboy say that he’d killed Bob
and the Johnny wasn’t dead?
Pony was traumatized and confused. He
was also in denial about Johnny’s death.
5. Explain why Darry calling Ponyboy “little
buddy” was important.?
Darry only ever called Soda this nickname.
For Pony, it meant Darry loved him too.
6. Make an inference. What did the doctor
tell the judge during his testimony?
That Pony is traumatized and not
thinking clearly yet. Also, he may have
discussed the boys being in a safe and
loving environment with Darry as guardian.
7. Make another inference. Why does the
judge call Darry and Sodapop to the stand
to testify?
To interview the guardian and other
household members first hand and learn
more about the environment (Darry as
guardian) the boys are living in currently.
8 and 9. To what “circumstances” does Ponyboy’s teacher
refer when he talks to him about his grade in English? To
what circumstances does Ponyboy think his teacher is
referring?
The teacher is referring to the trauma Pony
has been through. Pony thinks he’s talking about
him goofing up in school.
10. Name some ways that Ponyboy has changed
since the beginning of the story. Do you think
these changes will be permanent? Why or why
not? Pony has become more mature and learned
some hard lessons. He has a better relationship with
Darry. Pony has learned to see things from Darry’s
perspective. Pony has also learned not to stereotype
and judge people without knowing them. “Guys are
just guys.” Also, he has learned you never know what
someone’s life is really like (Bob).
11. What came in the mail and caused
Soda to get very upset? What did this make
Ponyboy realize?
A returned and unopened letter
from Sandy comes in the mail and it makes
Pony realize that he isn’t very good at being
there for Soda.
12. Explain how Pony and Darry were
playing “tug of war” with Soda. What effect
did this have on Soda?
He ran away- said he couldn’t take the
two of them fighting… all they have left is
each other. They have to stick together.
13. What do we learn was so special about
Johnny?
He was “a guy that would really listen to you,
listen and care about what you’re saying. And that
was rare…”
14. What does Ponyboy write about for his English
assignment? Why?
He started to think “about the many boys living on
the wrong sides of cities, boys with black eyes who
jumped at their own shadows. … There should be
some help, someone to tell them before it was too
late” that there’s still lots of good in the world.
“Someone should tell their side of the story, and
maybe people would understand then and
wouldn’t be so quick to judge a boy by the
amount of hair oil he wore. It was important to me.”
