Question 3.

d. What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How the events of this novel make you feel?

The Climax of this novel is that Jonny killed Bob. Because I felt the most tense in this chapter and this section has the biggist action in this story.

Pony Boy and Johnny went to see movie and they met Socs' girl friends. They discovered that they had something in common and they got close to each other. After the movie, they headed for Two Bits' house. On their way, they encountered Socs who had already drunken. Between the greasers(Johnny and Pony Boy) and Socs( group of people including Bob,) seems being big gap between them. Socs tortured Pony Boy and Johnny, and after Pony Boy was tortured by Socs, it became Johnny's turn. He was too scared and frustrated. He pulled out his Knife in order to defense himself. Situation got worse and he didn't intend to kill Bob but accidently he killed Bob so as to defense himself. And they ran away.

Hostile feeling isn't worth having in mind. It brings about much bigger problem. I think they need to understand each other and comprise in better way rather than hatred or have ceaseless fight and misconception. But it's just story of farrytale and it's impossible to get along with eachother. Because the wall that exist between them is created by their society or adults.

I agree with you. I also think the climax of the novel is when Johnny kills Bob, but I think the real climax of the novel is that when Johnny made fool and impulsive decision.
I thought that Johnny's personality is kind of coward, but he killed someone anyhow. However, in my opinion it was kind of self-defense. Yes, they rather be understand each other, and forgive them also.
