How does Johnny represent the qualities of integrity and answer at least one of those questions for Ponyboy? (The quotation above asks pretty much the same question.)
Write a paragraph using TWO examples from the book to support your idea.
5 points for each well explained example,

The author suggests in these chapters that male-female relationships

between the Greasers and Socs are more peaceful and respectful than

male-male relationships. The encounters between Johnny, Ponyboy,

Marcia, and Cherry show that relationships between Greasers and Socs

are positive, even though they are from different groups. Although Dally

has a negative encounter with the girls, Johnny protects them because

of their gender. He most likely would not have done this if the conflict

were with another male. The male greasers and male Socs encounters

consistently result in violence. This difference shows that the gang

rivalry is one that is masculine in nature. It is also worth noting;

however, that internal group bonding in also strongly masculine. The

Greasers are all male, and they are protective and supportive of one

another.

12. What is Ponyboy comparing Two-Bit to when he calls him a “chessy

cat” on page 27? What two literary devices are used here?

Chessy Cat refers to a "Cheshire Cat, a proverbial grinning cat from

Cheshire, in England as described in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures

in Wonderland”. In The Outsiders, Ponyboy was trying to describe that

Two-Bit Matthews was smiling broadly, much like that of the Cheshire

Cat. This is an example of a simile (comparing two unlike things using

like or as), as well as allusion (to make a passing reference to something

outside the text).

13. What literary device does the author use to describe Johnny’s

mugging (pgs.31-34)?

The literary device used is flashback. This is a literary or cinematic

device in which an earlier event is inserted into the normal chronological

the answer is b. the tomb is underground and dark, and its opening is covered by a heavy grate.
