I just have to say that The Outsiders is like my favorite novel ever! It’s express so much of different perspectives for one.
Anyways, I would assume that Johnny would feel yet upset but surprised to hear from Ponyboy who he thinks is the person to make him feel comfort ya know? Ponyboy had no right to say something to Johnny when even though his family doesn’t want him home, they (Johnny’s family) yell and scream at him…he still loves them and he does want to go home. But Ponyboy brought out his anger and sadness out on Johnny!
Hope this helps! :)
