I don't really understand the poem. I can tell you a couple of thing about the poem that remind me of the outsiders. In the outsiders Ponyboy and the other kid (his name escapes me) ran away after he stabbed another kid. This reminded me of when the poem said "They'd banish -- you know!" because the reason they ran away is so they wouldn't get arreste so I think being banished is sort of like being arrested. I hope I helped. Please give me the brainliest.
"<span>C. "I won't forget to feed the dog," Helen promised" is free from capitalization errors. Sentences (even if they're direct quotations from a character) need to begin with a capital letter. </span>
The answer is C :) you need a comma
