Post 6: The Fight

Before the fight, the whole greaser gang was almost partying. They were getting high, doing acrobatics in the lawn, and joking around. When they arrived, the socs arrived too, right on time. To start the fight Darry goes against a soc named Paul. Dallas runs to the fight but when Darry turns to see him, Paul punches him right in the jaw. After the rumble begins fists and legs go everywhere. In the end Steve has three broken ribs, Darry will have a black eye and he has a cut on his forehead, Ponyboy has multiple bruises on his back and stomach, and the rest were fine. This fight ended once two-bit saw the socs finally in retreat. The gang goes over to the hospital to tell Johnny the news. When they got there, Johnny said his final words and then died in the hospital. Dallas is so shocked that he takes the car and leaves Ponyboy to find another way home. Ponyboy walked home until a man in a car offered him a ride home. His gang was waiting at his house, all spread around the living room resting their injuries.
