After Johnny’s death, Ponyboy wanders alone for hours until a man offers him a ride. The man asks Ponyboy if he is okay and tells him that his head is bleeding. Ponyboy feels vaguely disoriented. At home, he finds the greasers gathered in the living room and tells them that Johnny is dead and that Dally has broken down. Dally calls and says he just robbed a grocery store and is running from the police. The gang rushes out and sees police officers chasing him. Dally pulls out the unloaded gun he carries, and the police shoot him. Dally collapses to the ground, dead. Ponyboy muses that Dally wanted to die. Feeling dizzy and overwhelmed, Ponyboy passes out.

When Ponyboy wakes, Darry is at his side. Ponyboy learns that he got a concussion when a Soc kicked him in the head during the rumble, and that he has been delirious in bed for three days.

Analysis: Chapters 9–10
Underlying the struggle between the Socs and the greasers is the struggle between the instinct to make peace and the social obligation to fight. Hinton turns the rumble into a moral lesson. The fight begins when Darry Curtis and Paul Holden face off; the fact that Darry and Paul were high school friends and football teammates suggests that their rivalry need not exist—that money makes enemies of natural friends. Ponyboy’s comment that they used to be friends but now dislike each other because one has to work for a living while the other comes from the leisurely West Side emphasizes the artificial and unnecessary nature of their animosity. While this animosity seems pointless, each gang member who fights still feels a responsibility to his gang to hate the other gang.

Ponyboy feels this tension within him before the fight. His instincts tell him to skip the rumble, as he knows in his heart that violence won’t solve anything. His hesitation after speaking with Randy and his decision to take five aspirin before the fight show that he is emotionally and physically unprepared for the ordeal. Nevertheless, Ponyboy ignores his instincts and goes through with the fight because he wants to please his social group. His participation in the rumble cements his place in the gang; he is no longer a tagalong little brother but rather a fighter in his own right.

How do details such as "stone or metal," "many pigeons," "towers," and "wild cats that roam the god-roads" help establish settin
Digiron [165]

Answer:

The sense that nature has taken over a once-urban area.

Explanation:

Mythical kingdom is possible (<em>towers & god-roads) </em>but a small mythical kingdom doesn´t make sense to me.

A preindustrial society is said to be in harmony with nature.

The feeling of an ancient village is not provoked by towers; that word, together with stone or metal could show a once-urban area that has been taken over by nature (wild cats that roam... many pigeons)

What is the function of the relative pronoun in the adjective clause? The essay describes the mountain that I climbed.
Pachacha [2.7K]
Hi, the answer would be D - direct object. It cannot be the subject, because the subject of the sentence is "the essay". It isn't object of a preposition, as there is no preposition there. It is not a possessive, and given that this adjectival clause is a part of "the mountain", which is a direct object, it must be a direct object as well.

According to kermode why did shakespeare portray banquo in a favorable light
amid [387]
Speare has been more feted in print than ever, in the mainstream as well as in the overflowing and sometimes murky underground river of academic publications. "Enough!" we may well cry (as we sometimes cry at the unending proliferation of productions of the plays). Not, however, in the case of Sir Frank Kermode, whose profoundly conceived and elegantly executed Shakespeare's Language (2000) was a complex but luminous contribution to the understanding of the greatest single body of dramatic work in any language, one of the most refreshing in recent times; any new commentary from him on the subject is eagerly awaited. Despite a brief flirtation with structuralism, he is no grand theorist. Instead, he is that rather old-fashioned phenomenon: a
