In my opinion, Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally are heroes because they saved those kids from the fire. If they hadn't gone into the old abandoned church, the kids would have never gotten to safety. I believe that a hero is someone that puts themselves before others, not necessarily like saving people. I believe that you could be a hero by doing something like putting someone else’s needs ahead of yours. I think that Johnny, Ponyboy and Dally all fall into that category, and I believe that even when Johnny stabbed the Soc named Bob, he was still a hero, even if he did kill someone.
