The Rumble

The night of the church burning down, my gang and I were going to a rumble against the socs. I had a headache from the church. I said I was going to be fine for the fight. When we got to the vacant lot the socs rolled up in their "tuff" cars. The numbers for the fight were pretty even. We ended up winning the fight because the socs ran off. After the fight Dally and I went to the hospital to tell Johnny about the fight. When we got there the doc said he's getting worse. We told him we won the fight and he told me to "stay gold"and right just then he died. Dally and I were sad and Dally ran off. He went to a gas station and robbed it. Then when he was running from the cops he called Darry to hide him in the vacant lot. When he got here he pulled out a gun and the cops shot him. So now two of my friends died today.


Ponyboy Curtis was a greaser. His good friend was Johnny Cade. He had 2 brothers, Darry and Sodapop. He was a track star and liked to read.
