Juvenile Delinquents Turn Hero

Ponyboy's Brothers

Sodapop Curtis Darrel Curtis

Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, murderers of Bob Sheldon, saved the lives of many innocent children. Back in the country of Windrixville, there was a fire in an old church where some kids got trapped inside. A few minutes later, two hoodlums, who called themselves Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade, broke into the burning building and courageously saved the young kids. Johnny, pushed Ponyboy out of the church just before the ceiling caved in. Ponyboy's jacket was on fire so Dally, who was on the side helping out, knocked him out unconscious in order to put the fire out. Dally then went inside to save Johnny but it was too late. Johnny was saved but he had severe burns and injures all over his body. Now the three brave boys are sent to the hospital for the medication. The doctors say that Ponyboy and Dally may survive but it's doubtful that Johnny will and if he does he maybe crippled for his whole life!

1. How is living without your parents?

Well, we still miss 'em. It's hard living without them. But we are now gettin' used to it. Our big bro is a big parental figure for us. He even left his scholarship of his college and now is doin' a job for us.

2. Would you rather stay with your brother or go to a boy's home?

I said the answer to this question alredy, man, When my bro is doin' so many things and sacrifices, why would we leave him alone!

3. How do you feel about your little brave brother?

Well I am proud of him. And he made us proud. Man, He is a great brother.

1. How do you feel having to sacrifice everything for her brother?

- I don't really mind anymore, besides i am the oldest and it's my responsibility to take care of them and raise them, so if it means for me to sacrifice my education, then thet's what i'll do.

2. Do you think you guys will be put into a boys home?

- Absolutley not, i have been taking care of them perfectley fine, so there is no reason for them to be put into a boys home.

1. Why did you save the kids?

Ponyboy- Umm.. I don't really know, I thought that the fire was my fault and it was my duty to fix it, I got a chance.

Johnny- Well I saw Ponyboy going in and I knew what he was thinking, that the fire started from one of our cigarettes. I don't know what I was thinking but my feelings were telling me to go inside and save the kids. Besides, after all I've been through this shouldn't be much different, right?

2. Why did you think that the fire was your fault?

Ponboy- Well, Johnny said what answered this question. I think the fire emerged from my cigarette's burning ash.

Johnny- The fire was definetley our fault becuase there was no one else in the church besides us and we were smoking, so there can be no other explanation but that the fire started from one of our cigarettes.

3. How come you both stayed in the old church rather than in your house?

Ponyboy- Well, it all started all when some Socs came and started to jump on us. They were drowning me and when they went towards Johnny, he used the switchblade just for self defense and killed Bob. It wasn't Johnny's fault. He was trying to save me and himself. And then we ran away and sat on a train to Windrixville. There we asked an old man for a place to stay for two to three weeks and he told that there was a church up the hill. We wanted to stay away from the fuzz and we were scared.

Johnny- Becuase we had just commited murder and we didn't really have a choice but to go and run away, else the fuzz would have got to us.

4. How did your days go by in the old church?

Ponyboy- They were very harsh. I had to eat balony all the time, I had nothing to do. And the worst thing of all was that I had to cut my had and bleach them. I loved my hair.

Johnny- It was ok, we were alone and hungry and tired of baloney

5. So you said you ran away from your town without telling everyone, but how this Dally come to know about your whereabouts?

Ponyboy- Yes, we just ran away without telling anyone, but when Dally came to know about this mess, he tried to find out what happened and got to us, that's what I and Johnny guessed.

Johhny- We didn't tell anyone except for Dally, we knew that only Dally would be able to get us out of this mess. We were really scared.

Doctor: "These boys are heroes!"

Jerry: "They are the bravest boys i haven't seen in a long time"

Townsperson: "They may be greasers, but they saved my kids."

Cherry: "Their murder for killing Bob was only for self defense, they shouldn't be punished!"

Randy: "It's our fault they got into such a mess."

Townsperson: " They killed Bob, they should be punished"

Townsperson: "Give them their punishment!"
