Before all of this happened, Johnny hanged out with Cherry, Marcia, and Ponyboy at the movies until they saw a blue Mustang coming straight through their way. In good order when the Socs got out of the Mustang, Johnny was breathing heavily that Johnny's face has been cut up by "someone wearing rings"(44).

I’ve read a lot of books with heroes in them, but in The Outsiders, almost every character is a hero. This story is about a gang called the greasers. All the greasers could be considered a hero.

Through the novel, ‘The Outsiders’, Hilton has proven her point in which all young people should have a sense of belonging. Ponyboy, the main character as well as a member of the Greaser gang and he believes that belonging to a gang is the reason to the safety of his friends and himself; he has someone to rely on. Johnny, Ponyboys best friend as well as another member of the Greaser gang, needed the urgent sense of belonging as he wasn’t overly supported by his own family and “he would have run away a million times if [the gang] hadn’t been there”. The absence of Johnny’s own family was replaced by the gang and it was as though he had family right there; the Greaser gang. By showing and elaborating the character Johnny, Hilton strongly displays how Ponyboy believes that belonging to a gang is not only important but also comforting.…

The relationship between Ponyboy and Johnny is speechless. The fact that they are that close to each other describes it all. In the beginning of the novel, I would describe the friendship of Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade as, “ together, courage, and faith in each other.”…
His personality stands out as the gentle one of the gang, but he “was a good fighter and could play it cool, but he was sensitive and that isn't a good way to be when you're a greaser” (88).
