This book is hands down one of the best pieces of young adult literature ever written!  I loved it.  I read it once for pleasure and again for english class in eighth grade.  you should also check out the movie.\n\nPonyboy is a hero for a couple of different reasons:\n\nHe stands by Johnny after he kills the soc, and stays with him all the way through until when johnny dies in the end.  He is a hero this way because he stands by his friends through the good and the bad.  That is a great charecteristic for anyone to have.\n\nHe is also a hero because he saved the kids from burning inside the old church.  This is the biggest reason for him being a hero.\n\nThe last reason is that he went to fight in the rumble, even though he didnt feel well.  He knew that his friends needed him, and he stood by them, once again showing his great characteristic of loyalty to his friends.

Dallas Winston got parcially burned too (only his right arm) and Ponyboy wasn't exactly hurt, just shocked and worried about Johnny. His face was all black because of the smoke in the church when him and Johnnycake saved the little kids. Johnny ended up dying, and Dally was perfectly fine, excpet for the fact Johnny was the only thing he loved so he pulled a gun on the police and they shot him. Your welcome, and yeah I'm an outsiders fanatic.

"He had never been jealous of me for a second. Now I knew that there never was and never could have been any rivalry between us. I was not of the same quality as he." Gene realizes that Finny never really wanted Gene to get bad grades. \n"I lost part of myself to him then, and a soaring sense of freedom revealed that this must have been my purpose from the first: to become a part of Phineas." Gene realized that he real purpose was to be Finny because Gene always did what Finny said.\n"Because my war ended before I ever put on a uniform; I was on active duty all my time at school; I killed my enemy there." Gene realizes that the real war Gene had to fight was the one with himself. He really didn't know who he was until years later when he comes back to Devon.

I'm pretty sure about snap and pop being gay, but I've heard rumours about crackle being into bestiality.  He gets himself hopped up on Fruit Loops and then does freaky things with Toucan Sam.

He's one of Harry Potter's closest friends.  \n\nExcellent question.

Because Scout is being raised as a strong, independent girl instead of a subservient, dress wearing southern girl. Atticus does not punish them with spankings, and he treats them as responsible individuals. Because of this, they respect people who deserve respect because of their actions rather than social status. Alexandra can't see beyond social status and thinks that "fine folks" are ones who have owned land for multiple generations. By her definition, the Ewells are "fine folks". This differs with Atticus's ideas that "fine folks" are "people who do the best they can with what they got". Alexandra believes Atticus is teaching the kids incorrectly by not making them believe that social status is important.

He was the scout for Galactus.  To save his planet he made the sacrifice to work for Galactus.  He was always a good person, just put in a bad situation.

I would consider anyone who puts their own life on the line to protect others to be heroes. you don't need a cape or special powers to make you a hero. bye yall

He's a magician.  His tricks are not performed with special effects or editing and camera work, the secret is in the tricks themselves that he does.  But no, he's not really superhuman...he is just excellent at creating and manipulating optical illusions.  He also is very charismatic, and I believe that helps when he is performing street magic.

I clicked on the link, but I saw that you had already been helped!\n\nPerhaps Odesseus/Ulysses was a comic hero?  I mean, come on!  A big wooden horse to defeat the Trojans?  Somehow I think this was a play on Trojan ego...  Was the giant wooden horse compensating for something?  Sorry.  I love double meanings...

Well, I believe that play features a character simply called the "Narrator."  He is a third-person perspective on all events in the 'town.'  I would say that third-person perspective might be considered a literary element.

I love being with my ex who was a bad boy because with being bad he had a powerful presence, did not let anyone push him around, did more exciting things, and was really protective over me. I felt he was fascinating and a refreshing change from the everyday!

This was my absolute favorite book growing up, I read it more than 20 times.\n\n1. It is ironic that Johnny and Ponyboy were involved in a murder because they weren't the ones who usually caused trouble.  They were minding their own business and ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time.\n\n2. Ponyboy had a problem cutting and dying his hair because hair was a major characteristic for 'greasers'.  It was something that distinguished them from the rest of the crowd.

define?\nit depends upon the cultural standards and the perception of each individual.\nWhat is the current situation?\nA "hero" is a hero to only a few sections of the general populace.\nNo one has ever been accepted by everyone.

He isnt heart broken, it is suppose to mean he is the heart break kid breaking other's hearts. He was the ladies man when he split away from the Midnight Rockers.  Thus his theme song.
