1. Quote: “Sixteen years ain’t long enough.” Johnny “The Outsiders” p. 1-180 Ima Student February 9, 2012 Literacy p. 4 He feels attacked and loathed by mother. He feels supported and valued by Greasers. He considered killing himself, but now afraid to die. He is loyal and part of the gang family. He risked murdering for Pony. He risked his life for children at the church fire. He didn’t finish school. He is loyal to his gang. He carries a switchblade. He can’t read well, but loves Gone With the Wind. He is jumpy and afraid after being attacked by the Socs. He is small in stature, and afraid to stand up for his ideas.
