Cherry Valence says, "Take your feet off my chair and shut your trap,"  to Dally when he is being rude at the drive in.  What inference can we make about Cherry based on her dialogue above?

• Cherry is shy and timid
• Cherry always speaks her mind even if it's to a "hood"
• Cherry likes to see how far she can push people 
• Cherry is stubborn and vicious

"And Johnny, who was the most law-abiding of us, now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade. He'd use it, too, if he ever got jumped again. They had scared him that much. He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body..."
The author most likely includes this passage for which of the following reasons?

• to foreshadow an event to come later 
• to show that Johnny is always prepared
• to add danger and suspense to the novel to make sure the reader keeps reading
• none of the above

In Chapter 2, Ponyboy explains how Johnny got severely beaten by a group of Socs.  This event happened in the past, but Ponyboy explains it as if it is going on in real time.  This is an example of which literary element?

• alliteration
• onomatopoeia
• foreshadowing
• flashback

Two-Bit says that Dally, "deserves what he gets" if Tim Shepherd fights him because...

• Tim Shepherd is bigger than Two-Bit and Two-Bit is always teasing Tim.
• Tim Shepherd is not someone to mess with, and the greasers have a truce with him so Two-Bit shouldn't be messing with him.
• Dally slashed Tim's tires and got caught (which is the number one rule among the greasers), so he has to take the consequences. 
• Dally and Tim have fought before and Dally didn't fight fair.  So, Tim is liable to get revenge. 

If Tim Shepherd retaliates against Dally because Dally slashed his tires and got caught, this is an example of what type of text structure?

• cause/effect
• problem/solution
• sequence
• compare/contrast
