"I don't want to die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't long enough. I wouldn't mind it so much if there was so much stuff I ain't done yet - and so many things I ain't seen." This quote is the most painful interaction between Johnny and Ponyboy.
What did Johnny say when he died in The Outsiders?
Answer and Explanation:
In The Outsiders, Johnny says "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." just before he dies. These final words are a reference to the Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay," which Ponyboy had quoted as the boys watched a sunrise.
After Johnny's death and Dally's departure, Ponyboy wanders through the hospital's halls in a daze. Pony is in denial about Johnny's death, and keeps repeating that he isn't dead.
1 Answer. Johnny Cash said "you know when I die, I want my last words to be memorable. I want my last words to be there forever." A few weeks later 'Folsom prison blues' came out, so I believe that those were Johnny Cash's last words because that just can't be a coincidence.
After Johnny's death, Dally doesn't know how to live anymore. He cared for Johnny more than the rest of his family with the Greasers. Unable to cope, Dally robs a store and aims an unloaded gun at the police, and forces them to kill him.
Why does Johnny smile before he dies? Because Dally was proud of him. How did Johnny die? Johnny went into the burning church (to save the children) and a beam fell on him.
Even though The Outsiders is fictional, the book is based in S.E. Hinton's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hinton published the book in 1967 and the story takes place in the same time period. Though the book may feel like historical fiction for today's readers, it was a work of contemporary fiction when Hinton wrote it.
Following the deaths of Johnny and, now, Dally, Ponyboy faints in the street. He finally wakes up days later in his bed, where Darry and Sodapop have stayed by his side day and night. Ponyboy was sick leading up to the last rumble and sustained a concussion during that fight.
Answer and Explanation: In The Outsiders, Johnny dies as a result of burns and a spinal injury sustained while rescuing children from the burning church.
11 As I lit up, the Socs who had jumped Johnny and me at the park hopped out of the Mustang. 12 I had never been jumped, but I had seen Johnny after four Socs got hold of him, and it wasn't pretty. 13 Then there were shouts and the pounding of feet, and the Socs jumped up and left me lying there, gasping.
Ponyboy Curtis is a 14-year-old boy whose world has been turned upside down. His parents were killed in an automobile accident just eight months before The Outsiders story takes place. He lives with his oldest brother, Darry, who is 20 years old and has legal custody of him and his other brother, Sodapop, who is 16.
Dally is 17 years old. The Greasers' ages range from 14 to 20 years old, although most of the members are 16 or 17 years of age. Although he is not the oldest member of the gang, he is considered to be the toughest.
He doesn't want to die at such a young age, but knows that his life holds little hope for the future. Also, if he does die, he will die with the honor of saving the lives of children. Although Johnny sees death as frightening, it is also an escape from the difficulties of his life.
The deaths of Dally and Johnny affected Ponyboy deeply. He began to see things that he had been blinded to before and to realize that people are not always who they seem to be.
As we know, Dallas loved Johnny. This is extremely important to not only the book, but this analysis. He fell in love with Johnny when he was too afraid to attach to anything else. The attachment grew so strong that when Johnny died, Dallas wanted to, too.
In The Outsiders, Dally wants to die because Johnny, the only person he truly loves, has died. Early in the text, Ponyboy describes Dally's life, explaining that he really has no family who cares for him.
Dally carrying an unloaded heater, or gun, and Ponyboy recognizing that Dally fell off the deep end after Johnny's death forewarned us about Dally's death as a result of pulling the unloaded gun on police.
