The Outsiders, Chapter 6, states, “ He (Johnny) wasn’t scared either. That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without the defeated, suspicious look in his eyes.” Johnny acted like a hero because he stopped being scared and jumped in the burning church to save the kids. You know a person is…
