On the fifth day of being in the church, dally finally came back and got them something to eat because they had barely had any food. This is important to the story because it shows they are getting help and are still in hiding for the murder

The blue mustang appeared once again. The Boys, bob and Randy tried attacking Johnny and ponyboy again. They grabbed bobs pocket knife and stabbed Bob. randy ran away. As blood started surrounding Bob, Johnny and ponyboy ran away before the police got there. This is important to the rest of the story because it is a big event in the book that is going to greatly affect the plot and moving of the rest of the story.

Johnny had told his gang group that he was going to kill himself before he found another soc trying to attack him. His gang came up to the idea of trying to move out of the city they were in because they couldn't take any more of the attacks. This is an again and again moment because the attacks and blue mustang keep coming up in the story.

The mustang that has earlier abused johnny had made its way back to the greasers. They tried to get away from it and go down a different street, but it didn't work. It was a few socs, one of them being Cherry's boyfriend. He asked why she was out with the "bums" And the other greasers that were with her took great offense to it. This is important to the story because it shows how their relationship is at a downfall.

After the movies with 2 of the socs, pony boy and his brothers offered to drive the girls home. He was surprised that the greasers and socs shared some of the same interests, while supposed to be enemies. this was different from what I expected to what I observed because they were laid out in the beginning of the book to hate each other, but they actually got along with each other in public.

A blue mustang pulled up beside johnny while he was trying to retrieve a football he had thrown too far. The car had 4 socs inside. One of the socs was wearing multiple rings on his hand. They beat up johnny for no reason, and left him unconscious until Steve and the other greasers found him. The rings are what cut up johnny so badly. This is important to the story because it tells how brutal the socs can be.

Sodapop and cherry were walking together to a concession stand. This was weird to outsiders because Soda was a greaser, and cherry was a soc. The people around them gave looks to both of them, but cherry didn't seem to notice. Cherry started talking to soda about his brother johnny getting hurt, and then she brought up how scared and hurt he looked.

In the story they introduced a character named hence. He is a soc and one of sodas best friends. This is important to the story because it is showing more about their lives and different peoples perspectives.

Johnny ´ s nickname is ponyboy, and that is what he is known as thought the rest of the story. They didn't get to catch the rest of the Socs that attacked johnny. The socs and greasers go back and forth fighting and beating eachother up, just because the socs are richer.
