What is the topic of Ponyboy's theme for English?

The story of the Greasers and the Socs

Before Cherry got into the car with the Soc boys, she said, “Ponyboy... I mean... if I see you in the hall at school or someplace and don't say hi, well, it's not personal or anything, but...” Why did she say this?

Cherry knew that her friends and family wouldn't approve of her friendship with Ponyboy.

Cherry was older than Ponyboy, so she didn't want to associate with him at school.

Cherry knew that Ponyboy was dangerous, so she made a decision not to talk to him.

Cherry believed if she talked to Ponyboy, her boyfriend Bob would “jump” him.

After Johnny killed Bob, Ponyboy and Johnny did not go to the police. Why? *

They believed Johnny would be put on death row for murder.

Dally cared more about them than anybody else in the gang, and he would know better than the police what they should do.

The police officers were corrupt, and the boys knew that they couldn't trust any cops.

Johnny was scared that the police would tell his parents and that they would beat him again.

S. E. Hinton uses symbolism to separate the Socs from the greasers. Choose the items that are symbolic to the greasers only.

East Side, long hair, leather jackets

What was S. E. Hinton's purpose when she included a conversation about sunsets between Ponyboy and Cherry? *

To symbolize that all people, rich and poor, have some things in common.

To show that Ponyboy and Cherry both watched sunsets.

To explain that sunsets are important to both greasers and Socs.

To demonstrate that sunsets mean different things to everyone.

When the church caught on fire, Ponyboy and Johnny ran in to save the kids. How was Johnny different in that moment than he was in the beginning of the novel? *

Johnny became heroic and showed a confidence that had not been there before.

Johnny was scared and begging Ponyboy to get out of the burning building.

Johnny showed cruelty towards the kids, the same kind of cruelty that the Socs showed the greasers.

Johnny was indifferent; he didn't care if the kids made it out alive.

In Chapter 10, Dally made a spontaneous decision to rob a grocery store. What event happened that prompted him to make this irrational decision?

Johnny died from his wounds, so Dally robbed the store because his grief made him reckless.

Dally was excited after the rumble with the Socs, so he decided to rob a store to keep his “high.”

Cherry asked Dally to take her out on a date, so he robbed the store to pay for the date.

Dally wanted to be in the newspaper, so Dally robbed the store so they'd write an article about him.

Which of the following is a theme of the story?
