The Word that I choose that best describes chapters 11 and 12 to me is Friendship. I chose friendship because Ponyboy and his brothers are always together and look upon eachother. Ponyboy does not have to speak that much because of what the doctor said. Ponyboy becomes sad and depressed because of his grades that he is failing his English class, and that if he writes an outstanding autobiographical theme that he will raise his grade up to a C.  Next Steve, Two-Bit, and Ponyboy are going to the Grocery Store and a group of Socs accost him. Ponybot threatens the with a broken bottle saying that he refuses to take any more of there crap. After Sodapop Finds a letter from Sandy that hasn’t been open. Darry explains that Sodapop isn’t the father of Sandy’s child. Darry and Ponyboy go fing Sodapop, because he had ran out of the house. He tells them their constant fighting is tearing them apart. He tells them to try to understand eachother and stop fighting They have proised to try. Ponyboy thinks that Sodapop will hold the together. They go back home and Ponyboy looks at Jhonny’s copy of Gone with the Wind. Ponyboy after realizes that he wants to tell the story of his friends so that other hoodlums will not nurse their anger at the world and ignore the beauty of it. He begins to write the English theme ,starteing with the words that begin The Outsiders.

Fear- I feel that Chapter 9&10 of the outsiders is fear because as soon as the rumble is about to start he is scared. It seemed to me that he is also feared by, because of Johnny when he dies and also when the cops are chasing Dally, from him robbing a grocery store and he falls when they shot him. It is sad because two boys had died in Ponyboys face and that is gruesome it is terrible for something like that to happen to you. Especially since its coming form people that you look up to. It was a long struggle but the “Greasers” had won the rumble. Ponyboy passes out when they shot Dally, Dally collapses to the ground, dead. Ponyboy muses that Dally wanted to die. Feeling dizzy and overwhelmed Ponyboy passes out. When Ponyboy awakes, Darry is at his side. Ponyboy learns that he got a concussion when a Soc kicked him in the head during the rumble, and that he has been delirious in bed for three days. That’s why I think that fear described chapter 9&10 because it’s just fear that can hunt you and in another way that you are scared of doing. I mean fear in to ways.

I feel that chapter 7&8 is friendship because they are there for eachother and they don’t leave eachothers site, because they are al like family. Ponyoy was also supporting Darry and Jhonny when they were in the hospital. It is also friendship because when they do something they do it all together. Even though Darry and Jhonny are in the hospital thay have always sticked together. Jhonny’s mom had went to the hospital and Jhonny didn’t even want to bother too see his mother. That’s why i think that chapter 7 and 8 are about friendship because they are always with eachother and help eachother when they need to be. It was very cool for them to stick together through thick and thin.

 What I think chapter 5 & 6 are about is survival. In chapter 5 & 6, you will know it has surviving in the story. I say this because for a fact that when Johnny and Sodapop came back in the church along with Dallas and they saw it burning, Johnny went in and saved the kids that were left behind inside church and so did Ponyboy followed. They have risked there lives to save other little kids and they made it out with the kids safe. That’s why In my calculation, that these chapters were of survival. It was a very bold thing for them to go inside a burning place and just go in there like if it was nothing and take those kids out. That takes a lot of guts to do.
