direct qoutes from the book
Both Ponyboy and Johnny value friendship. They are sensitive, loyal, empathetic, and smart. Consider the following:
-Both Boys stand their ground when the drunken Socs approach them.
-Johnny stabs Bob only because he feels his friend is being drowned.
-Both boys flee in a box car together rather than separating.
-There are some nice moments when the boys hide in the cold church. Pony reads to Johnny. They are both concerned for each others well being.
-Pony worries about Johnny when he goes to the store to get provisions
