Question

Describe the climax of the outsiders in a three- to five-sentence paragraph.

Answer 1

In the novel The Outsiders, the climax occurs when Ponyboy and Johnny head to the park and engage in a confrontation with Bob, Randy and a group of Socs. During this fight, one of the Socs holds Ponyboy's head under the water of a fountain util he blacks out. When Ponyboy returns to his senses, he is next to Johnny and Bob's corpse. Johnny reveals that he had to kill Bob in order to defend Ponyboy and himself.

Answer 2

Answer:

The climax of The Outsiders includes the part where Johnny kills Bob, and he (Johnny) and Ponyboy hide after fleeing from home. However, a church fire occurs while Johnny and Ponyboy are on their hideout. Although Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally were able to save children from the burning fire, Johnny gets injured, and this ultimately results in his death after he and Ponyboy return from hiding. Ponyboy meets up with his brothers, makes up his mind to avoid all forms of violence, and starts writing a story of his experiences.
