Post 2: Reaction To The Chapter 4 Fight

In chapter four, Ponyboy and Johnny are walking home together by the park when suddenly a blue mustang pulls up, the car packed full of socs. The socs surrounded Johnny and Ponyboy, then almost drowning Ponyboy himself. Johnny was surrounded now, but he got around the socs, and pulled a switchblade knife from his back pocket and stabbed the soc drowning Ponyboy. Once the one soc had been stabbed and killed, the other socs ran. Ponyboy was okay and scared as well as Johnny but the socs had taken it too far this time. My reaction to this scene is mostly being amazed. If I was Johnny, I would almost be crying, knowing that I had just taken someones life. On the other point of view, I would be scared to be Ponyboy because I know being drowned in ice cold water would not be fun. In cold water you cant even hold your breath as long as you could if it was warm. I would just be flat out scared to die. This scene is big so it urges you to read more so you can find out if there are anymore good action packed scenes in the whole other half of the book.
