The resolution to this story is Pony boy decides to write about the Greasers for a school paper. Pony boy looses his innocence and starts to understand that terrible things happen and he cannot control it. In chapter 12 Ponyboy says, ""When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home." (S.E. Hinton) This quote shows that things had become simpler for Ponyboy at the end of this novel.
The South resisted the decision of Brown vs. Board of Education. This makes sense. Brown vs. Board of Education ruled that segregating schools based on race was unconstitutional.
