Answer:
I hate it when my brother Charlie has to go away. My parents constantly try to explain to me how sick he is. That I am lucky for having a brain where all the chemicals flow properly to their destinations like undammed rivers. When I complain about how bored I am without a little brother to play with, they try to make me feel bad by pointing out that his boredom likely far surpasses mine, considering his confine to a dark room in an institution. I always beg for them to give him one last chance. Of course, they did at first. Charlie has been back home several times, each shorter in duration than the last. Every time without fail, it all starts again. The neighbourhood cats with gouged out eyes showing up in his toy chest, my dad's razors found dropped on the baby slide in the park across the street, mom's vitamins replaced by bits of dishwasher tablets. My parents are hesitant now, using "last chances" sparingly. They say his disorder makes him charming, makes it easy for him to fake normalcy, and to trick the doctors who care for him into thinking he is ready for rehabilitation. That I will just have to put up with my boredom if it means staying safe from him. I hate it when Charlie has to go away. It makes me have to pretend to be good until he is back.
Answer: 1. In chapter 1, Ponyboy gets jumped by a group of Socs while he is walking home from the movies. Fortunately, several Greasers come to his aid and the Socs scatter. Two-Bit is one of the gang members to arrive at the scene and attempts to lift Pony's spirits by telling him, "Nice cut, too. Makes you look tough" (Hinton, 11).
2. Two-Bit is with Ponyboy buying Cokes at the Tasty Freeze when Randy Adderson asks to speak to Pony before the rumble. Two-Bit makes sure that Randy doesn't attempt to harm Ponyboy while he speaks to him inside his car about Bob's death and not attending the rumble.
3. In chapter 8, Two-Bit goes with Ponyboy to visit Johnny and Dally in the hospital. During their visit, Two-Bit witnesses Johnny in critical condition and goes to the drugstore to buy him a copy of Gone with the Wind. After visiting Johnny, Two-Bit sees Dally and gives Dally his prized switchblade without hesitating.
4. Two-Bit is involved in the rumble against the Socs that takes place in chapter 9 and is the person who yells, "They're running! . . . Look at the dirty --- run" (Hinton, 123). After the Socs flee the scene, Ponyboy notices that Two-Bit has a deep gash down the side of his face and recalls seeing Two-Bit's hand gushing blood.
5. In chapter 10, Two-Bit and the other gang members are lounging around at Darry's home when Ponyboy enters and tells them that Johnny died. He then mentions that Dally ran out of the hospital and Two-Bit comments, "So he finally broke . . . So even Dally has a breaking point" (Hinton, 130). The gang then races after Dally and Two-Bit is there to witness the police shoot and kill their friend after Dally pulls out his unloaded pistol.
