=**Johnny Cade**=

Trough Johnny cades adventure in the outsiders he is a good gentlemen,yet,he is the gangs pet .Although at the end you can realize that johnny is a hero.He is a hero because he saved lives. a gentlemen because he had manners and a gangs pet because he was young and had to much stuff on his back

Johnny is a big part of the gang because he is the gangs pet He is a gangs pet because when his parents are fighting then he starts to group into the gang and they start to take care of him because no one else will.in the story it says that pony tells johnny"that without him the gang will fall apart."Another reason he is the gangs pet is because he jumped by a group of socs and they scared him for life

As you can see Johnny is a gentlemen because he is nice to woman.One way johnny is nice to woman is when him and pony boy protect cherry and Marcia and then they tell him he's to sweet .another reason he is sweet and a gentlemen because he never acted like a dally or two bit yet two bit was kind of a gentlemen.My perspective on johnny being a gentlemen is very high because he stood up to dally and made him leave them alone.

last but not least johnny is a hero to Oklahoma because he saved six children with pony boy.It quotes in the story that when he is in the hospital Two-bit said "his name was in the paper for being a hero kid "and then johnny smiled.I think he is a hero because he jumped in a fire to save those kids and he didn't care about his life he just wanted to save there lives because he caused the fire with his cigarette.

Johnny you know was a a good hero,gentlemen,and a gangs pet although johnny is some of these things he still is young and his life shouldn't of ended. After all he has been through alot Johnny cade was still a good kid.Finally if you were in there position and lit a cigerete and thenleft it there over night and cause a church to burn down with children in their would you save those children
