Result in Happiness

Authors Note: This piece of writing is focusing on the predictions I made in the book “The Outsiders”.

Through the first six to seven chapters, a lot has happened to the characters of “The Outsiders”. Ponyboy meets a SOC Cherry Valance who seems to be different from the others, Ponyboy and Darry get into a fight, which leads to him running away from home, Johnny had to kill someone to save Ponyboy’s life, they had to catch a train and go to a different town to get away from the police, and Johnny and Ponyboy saved children from a burning fire while on their way home with Dally (another member of the Greasers) so Dally had to pull them out of the fire but Dally and Johnny got severely injured. Looking at what will come next, I predict that Johnny and Dally will be ok, and Ponyboy and Darry will make up. Eventually, I think some of the friends of the SOC who was killed by Johnny will come after him and he will be brutally wounded.

First, after Ponyboy and his friends were walking Cherry Valance and her friend home, it was already two o’clock in the morning when Ponyboy arrived at his house with Darry awake reading the newspaper and his other brother Sodapop, laying asleep on the couch. Darry was furious at Ponyboy because he was worried sick about him; which Ponyboy didn’t realize. Pony had to run away because he got slapped across the face from Darry. Later in the book I think Ponyboy will realize that Darry is always getting on him because he is the youngest and cares a lot about him and wants a better life for him.

Next, from looking at the beginning of the book, it’s a sunny day, which shows that this book will either be a comedy or a romance. Once you get to chapter six, you wouldn’t expect this book to be a comedy or a romance because of the things that have happened, but the modes of literature are always right so Johnny and Dally should recover from their injuries from the church fire.

Lastly, I don’t think the SOCS will let the Greasers get away with the death of Bob who was one of the popular SOCS; who everyone looked up to. One of the Greasers could get killed by the SOCS, or even brutally injured.

In conclusion, my predictions aren’t always that accurate unless I’m completely sure about something. These predictions I made I’m confident in because they all make perfect sense. Once I finish the story, I’ll know if what I predicted was what really happened.
