The Outsiders Chapters 5 and 6

    In the chapters 5 and 6 Johnny and Ponyboy are in the church now and they have to stay in there because if they go out other people might see them. So they have to keep a low profile. What they do in the church is most just like sit around like read books, smoke, and eat sandwiches. They have both got their hair cut and Ponyboy go it bleached so nobody would know it was them. They have smokes and sandwiches because one time Johnny went out and got some supplies. Then about a week later Dally came over to the church with his friends T-Bird. They went out to Dairy Queen. They got a Pepsi, barbecue sandwiches, and a banana split. While they were eating Dally was talking about an all out war with the Socs and the greasers. It turns out that the Soc that they had killed had a lot of Soc friends. Now they have a spy the spy is Cherry. Ponyboy used to come out to the country before to go hunting with his dad. Johnny wants to turn him self into the cops because he does not want Ponyboy and him to stay in a church for the rest of their lives. So they just were driving down the road when they saw that the church was on fire. So Ponyboy and Johnny ran out to see what was going on. Then they herd there was children missing from a class picnic. Then they herd screaming from inside the church on fire. So Ponyboy ran inside the church. Johnny was right behind him. They found 4 or 5 kids in one of the rooms. They got the kids out. Then Ponyboy blacked out. He woke up in an ambulance. Johnny broke his back. He was wondering where Johnny, and Dally were but they were in other ambulances. When they got to the hospital Soda and Darry came in. Darry had tears in his eyes when he saw Ponyboy.

     My favourite events of those two chapters were when they cut their hair because they love it so much and when they cut it they go so sad. Also when they went to Dairy Queen, because they were so hungry that they just ate there food so fast. Also when they went to go and save those kids because that must have taken a lot of guts to do that. Finally my last favourite part was when Soda and Darry came to the hospital I like it because now the bother are finally back together. 

In this chapter there is a lot of heroism. The heroism that is in this chapter is when Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally were just driving down the road in the T-Bird. They were going to the church to get some stuff that was still at the church, like he gun. Then they saw the church was on fire. So they went in and saved those kids from being burned to death in the church. After they saved those kids from the fire there was a newspaper article. The article said that if they never would have went in and save those kids when they did. Those kids would have burned to death. They put they own lives on the line to try and saved those kids that is why is it so heroism. While Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally went in Dally got third degree burns on his arm. Johny got his back broken and if he makes it through he would be cripple for the rest of his life. But Ponyboy only breathed on a lot of smoke and got hit on the back because there was fire on the coat that he was wearing. They said if he was not wearing that coat he would have got burned pretty badly.
