Top Ten Best Moments in The Outsiders

That was a sad but very honest scene. It showed one last bit of Johnny before we really had to say goodbye.

This was such a sad scene for me... I loved Johnny. He was the best character, and he died.

Notice that I've put Johnny and Ponyboy in literally every item so far.

Good book. This was when it actually got interesting, so it gets my vote.

Can I also just say this: in English, we had a quiz/worksheet about it, and the kids hadn't even read up to chapter six. I had obviously read it twice, so it didn't matter, but still. One of the questions literally said that Johnny died and well, the girl who sits next to me is the only other kid in my class who read it, and she freaked out. We cried for a solid 30 seconds.

I'm not the type of person who cries easily, especially in books or movies, but I think this is the first time I cried in a book and movie.

And when I say "best," I don't mean "YAY, he died!" I mean "Why, Johnny?! I loved you, and now you died!"

This was a very meaningful part of the story. Notice how his last word was "Pony," not "Johnny." This shows how he loved more than one person. He doesn't love people just because they're rich or anything. He loves them to love them, though he doesn't show it.

I was so sad after this scene. Johnny saw Dally as a hero, and Dally just wanted to live up to that. After Johnny dies, Dally gives up. He only lived for Johnny, and now he's gone.

Because it was kinda sad, but he was not bad. But the death of Johnny made him kill himself because he cared about Johnny.

The end, when it shows the brotherly love, was one of my favorite parts.

This was actually an interesting scene. Don't the Socs go after Johnny all the time instead?

Basically, this is the part where the story began unfolding.

A huge turning point for the novel. It definitely showed a change in Johnny's character.

I mean, it wasn't the best moment, but it's definitely very important to the plot of the story.

It was a big change in the book and was an exciting part of the novel.

It shows that Darry did actually care about Ponyboy after all.

It was my favorite moment in The Outsiders. I almost cried laughing.

I almost cried laughing when this happened.

I nearly died from laughing. Even Johnny and Ponyboy were laughing at him.
