Week+3+Discussion

1) When Randy is talking to Ponyboy, he can't decide whether he should fight in the rumble or not. Why is it such a difficult decision for him? If you were Randy, would you have fought or ran?

2) On the bottom of p. 133, when Pony asks what kind of world it is, what comment is he making about how society judges people?

3) Explain why Pony might rather have anyone’s hate than their pity? Do you agree with him?

4) Explain how Darry and Ponyboy play tug-of-war with Soda. Have you ever felt caught in the middle like that?
