Answer:
The ending of the story changes as follows:
<em> Before he could get into the car, a loud thud reverberates off his head. One of the people in the crowd had successfully aimed a block of wood, 3 inch on both sides, to the back of his head. There was no use turning to check who the culprit was. The pain was begining to set in. Smitty half entered and half jumped into the car as the Sheriff on cue depressed the accelerator almost sending Smitty out the car again. As the car broke inertia, it threw Smitty with a strong jolt into the car. He almost hit his head on the dashboard but braced himself with his right hand.</em>
<em>The door oscillated rapidly and widly about three times before Smitty caught it and slammed it shut.</em>
<em>The car roared away raising a lot of dust as it sped off with the crowd pursuing behind them.</em>
What motivated them to rescue the childeren was that Jhonny already had killed a person and was brave enough to help and as Ponyboy ran in to help jhonny so did Dally. Jhonny was the most moticated to "loosing" his parents and he killed someone. He felt as if he had no worries anyways.
It depends whether you are writing a fiction book, say for example you a writing a book on the Victorians, it was a fact file, you would have to use events from real life i.e the death of Queen Victoria<span />
