- 15. 9. Dally doestwo separate things that help save Ponyboy’s life. Explain them both. First, he knocks Ponyboy to the ground when he’s on fire and attempting to run back into the building. Second, he had given Ponyboy his jacket, which provided protection to Ponyboy when he was in the fire. Interestingly, Ponyboy has said that he dislikes and fears Dally, yet this young man is the reason he’s alive. There’s a love there, even if Ponyboy doesn’t recognize it.
- 16. 10. When Ponyboyand Johnny need a place to hide out, they go to an abandoned church. In this chapter, witnesses say the boys were “sent from heaven” to help the little children from the burning building, which Ponyboy described as “a red hell.”
- 17. Symbolically, what’s goingon here with all of this religious imagery? Hinton is making the connection that the two boys are not what society expects. Johnny, by one definition, is a murderer, yet he’s also a hero. Dally is awful and, at first, doesn’t want to get involved in the rescue, yet he also followed and was burned as he helped pull children out of the window. Dally also saves Ponyboy, who was on fire and trying to run back into the building. Hinton seems to be saying that all of us have the potential to be angels, in spite of our life’s circumstances, the labels placed on us by society, or our past sins. It seems contradictory, but the boys are both sinners and saints. Religion offers redemption and forgiveness, something boys on both sides of the feud need.

Things are going to be better now, Ponyboy believes.
