Treasures in the Dust

One day after school Ponyboy and his friend Johnny took two Soc girls out to the movies, they were walking home when five Socs jumped them. The Socs were mad at them for taking their girls on dates. Bob (one of the Socs) was about to drown Ponyboy in a fountain when Johnny lost it and stabbed him. The Socs ran and so did Johnny and Ponyboy. After this incident they ran to a church …

…out. In conclusion, Ponyboy was just a good kid that did not want to get in any trouble or start any fights. He just wanted to live his life. So he wanted to go out with pretty Soc girls, not tough greaser girls, big deal. He was even told by the girls that even though he was a greaser he was still a nice guy, and that there are not to many nice guys around.
