The Outsiders

Author’s note: This piece of writing is to predict what is going to happen after chapter 5 of the outsiders and why I predicted that.

Freezing, wet, hungry, and lonely, these are all the things that Johnny and Ponyboy are feeling right now. They are hiding in an old rundown church on a top of a grassy hill. Let me not get ahead of myself. Ponyboy and his two brother’s darry and Soda pop were at home and Pony came home late from the movies, Darry who was in charge got mad at him and slapped him across the fist. That moment was the worst moment of Ponyboy life. Darry has never hit him before all three of the boys were shocked at what happened Ponboy ran out of the house crying. Ponyboy and his friend Johnny went to the park so they could cool off. The last thing they wanted to happen was having the socs come. They heard the engine of the blue mustang and they knew they were in trouble. The socs came and they argued and Bob the leader of the socs took Ponyboy’s head and was drowning him in the water fountain at the park. To save his life Johnny knew he had to do something. Bob was the one that hurt Johnny and now Johnny cares a knife with him wherever he goes now. The only thing that Johnny could think of was that knife he took it out of his back pocket and stabbed Bob in the back. The other socs ran away. Johnny quickly grabbed Ponyboy and they went to find Dally and he would know what to do. Dally sent them to where they are now at the old church.
In the next couple of chapters I predict that Johnny and Ponboy are going to come home and be with the rest of their family, the greasers. Also, I think they will also have to spend some time in jail because of what they have done. They will wait a while to come home; they will stay at that old rundown church for a couple more weeks. This is because eventually the news will calm down and everyone will forget about the whole thing. There is one group of people that will never forget what happened, and that would be the socs. They will try to get some revenge on Johnny and Ponyboy because they were the ones that killed the leader of their group and that is defiantly not ok with them. The two boys will probably have to travel with the rest of their group so they don’t get mugged. Another huge reason why they will come home and not be caught right away is because Dally sent the police to Texas. He told them that they will be traveling down their so they will go down there and look for him, they couldn’t tell that Dally was lying about it. They will eventually get caught though because the police will still be looking for them.
Living in that church will get lonely and eventually the two boys will come home. When that happens they will be ready for the socs to find out. For the news to die down, also they will probably be caught by the police after they get back from Texas, after they can’t find them there. They will figure out that they have been here. Ponyboy would probably stick with Johnny in jail. They know they have to face their consequences sooner or later.
