Explanation:
Johnny Dies- After the fire, he breaks his back and is in bad shape. His last words are to Pony, which he tells him to Stay Gold
Dallas Dies- Johnny dying was too much for Dallas, so he robs a gas station and pulls out a gun. In the end, the police end up shooting him, killing him.
Ponyboy passes out- After Dallas died, Pony collapses, and passes out. He was already sick before the rumble, and he wakes up days later. Randy ends up visiting him too
Ponyboy reads letter- Johnny wrote a letter basically saying that it was worth saving the kids, to tell Dally to look at a sunset, what the poem Nothing Gold Can Stay means since Pony couldn't figure it out (It means your gold when your a kid, and he told Pony to stay that way), and that the world still has good in it and to tell Dally that
Pony decides to write book- You find out in the end that the book was written by Pony, after the events that happened, and the book ends the same way it started: When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of that movie house, I had only two things on my mind. Paul Newman, and a ride home.
Pony goes to court- Cherry and Randy say that Bob was drunk, Pony didn't have to speak much. Case ended quickly.
Pony denies deaths- After Johnny and Dally dies, you continuously says that they aren't dead and pushes it out of his mind until he reads the letter
Things change- The gang continues going on. But Ponyboy starts doing worse in school, forgetting stuff/running into things, eating less
Darry and Pony make up- After Soda runs out, tired of their arguing, they decide they need to be nicer and fight less. They end up making up.
Learn about Sandy- After Soda runs out, Darry tells Pony Sandy sent back the letter Soda sent to her, unopened. Soda was also sad about that.
