After Johnny's death lots of interesting things happen to the characters. Well first of all after Ponyboy and Dally win the rumble they go to see Johnny in the hospital because Johnny was getting worse (Johnny was close to dying). When they arrive to the hospital Dally threatens the doctor to go into the emergency room to see Johnny. When Ponyboy and Dally finally enter the emergency room Johnny is very close to dying. After Dally telling Johnny about how they won the rumble Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold. Sadly Johnny dies.
After this like I said it gets interesting Dally has an emotional breakdown and runs towards "Certain death". Dally soon gets killed by the cops. The reason for this is Dally has always loved Johnny. Dally had nothing to love or anything to care about except Johnny. So since Johnny died Dally felt he had nothing to live for. This also makes me understand why Dally didn't get upset at Johnny for telling Dally to stop bothering Cherry and Marcia.
Dally was not the only one affected Johnny's Death. Ponyboy was also affected. Ponyboy is going through denial. He cannot face the fact that Johnny has died. But the amazing part about this is Ponyboy is getting more support from his brother Darry. Darry is started to be more sympathetic and understand everyone makes mistakes.
After all of this drama in the storyline there is still one more problem Soda, Darry, and Ponyboy have to go to court. Because they have to fight to be united and live together which does happen. Ponyboy definetly has a different opinion of each character by the of the book. I understand now as a reader that each person that reads this book gets to understand each character's personality.
