- What was Randy‘s purpose in visiting Pony? What was the outcome of their conversation?
- Why do you think Ponyboy insists that he is the one who killed Bob and keeps saying that Johnny isn‘t dead?
- Why do you think the judge‘s line of questioning is so easy on Ponyboy? Why is he acquitted?
- What happens to Ponyboy‘s schoolwork, memory, and attitude about himself after the hearing? What opportunity does his teacher give him to make up for his problems in school?
- Why does Soda bolt out the door?
- After Pony and Darry go find Soda, the three of them talk. What is the result of their conversation?
- What was in the note from Johnny that Ponyboy found when it fell out of his book?
- What does Ponyboy finally decide to write about in his theme?
- What is significant about the last sentence of the novel? Why?
On Monday, we will discuss the Pepsi bottle scene. I want you to think about how the scene relates to innocence/childhood and Two-Bit’s reaction to Ponyboy during this scene. Bring your ideas to the discussion on Monday!
