chapterrrrr 8 (:

Q1: How does what the doctor say on pg 119, foreshadow Johnn'ys condition?
A1:
The doctor says to "let them go in. He's been asking for them. It can't hurt now." When the doctor says "it can't hurt now," he is foreshadowing that "now" is too late. The damage has already been done, and there no point in keeping the in the waiting room. The doctor is saying that he's pretty much giving up hope. He says that they can go in, in such a negitive way that he is foreshadowing that Johnny's conditioncan't be very good.

Q2: "We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reasons" (pg121) What do you think Pony means? What is the reason?
A2:
When Pony says that they needed the gang as much as he needed the gang he means that they are all family and when a family is seperated it affects not just the person being seperated, but hte whole family. A family is a whole unit, and when one part of he unit is gone, it affects all parts of the unit aswell. when one part of the unit is gone, the whole unit can't function or continue. That means that it will not only affect Johnny (the unit leaving) but the rest of the gang (the other parts) also.

Q3:What does Ponyboy mean when me says "We could get along without anyone but Johnny"?
A3:
When Pony says "we could get along without anyone but Johnny" he means that Johnny has a connection with every singly member of tha gang that they all don't have with eachother. They all need Johnny in their lives. If it were another member of the gang, they could get along, because Johnny ios everyones kid brother, you could say that they all love Johnny the most, and for him to be gone, it would make everyone sad.

Q4: If Darry didn't have Pony and Soda why would he be a Soc?
A4:
Darry could have ben a Soc if it wasn't for Soda and Pony because he had the whole "Soc" package. Aside from not a having alot of money, Darry was too smart to be a Greaser. He was great at football, and could have gone on to university or collage. But becuase of the gang, and because of little money, and because he had to take care of Soda and Pony, he didn't go to collage and was a Greaser.

Q5: What does Cherry mean when she says bob "wasn't just anyone" on pg.129?
A5:
When Cherry says that Bob wasn't just anyone, she meant that Bob didn't just only havea bad side, the side that the gang saw, he was also a really nice and kind guy with a good side. Bob was special. He had a special somthig about him that made people like him and follow him. Bob had somthing that made him different than anyone else. He had a leadership quality about him. When Cherry said that Bob wasn't just anyone, she wasn't just referring to his character and personality. When she said Bob wasn't just anyone, she meant that he wasn't just anyone to her. She saw something special in Bob. She and Bob had a speical connection, that some might call love. Bob was something speical to her, and to everyone who knew him.
