1)  “Maybe people are younger when they are asleep” (p. 104 CO, p. 92 IL). What do you think about this comment?  2)  What was Bob’s “real” problem, according to Randy (p. 116 CO, p. 102 IL)? 

3)  Why did Pony think it was better to see socs as “just guys” on p. 118 CO or p. 104 IL? What do you think he means by this?

4) “We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason” (p. 121 CO, p.107 IL). What do you think Pony means, and what is the reason?

5) 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?
