Answer:
The boys left the Dingo early in the night before the drive in because of the fight that ensued between a big twenty-three-year-old greaser and a Mexican hitchhiker. As a result, the switchblades came out which will lead to the arrival of the cops. Therefore, they didn't want to be there during the fuzz.
Explanation:
The question is culled from the novel titled "The Outsiders"
The story talks about the story of Ponyboy Curtis and the struggles he had with right and wrong in a society where he feels like an outsider.
In the story, Ponyboy considers two sets of people in the world; the soc (social) and the greasers. He sees the soc as those who gets away with anything while the greasers have to watch their back
The Outsiders is a novel by H.E Hinton. It was first published in 1967. The author, Hinton was just 15 years when she started writing the novel. The book was later published when she was 18 years.
In poetry, letters such as a, b, c, etc. are assigned to represent the rhyme that occurs at the end of a line. When you see the first rhyme pair, you’d label that one ‘a’ since that is the first rhyme. The second rhyme pair would be labeled ‘b,’ and so on…
Let’s take a look at that excerpt from Richard Lovelace's "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars," and please be sure to read it aloud, so you can clearly hear the rhyme.
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,
</em><em>That from the nunnery
</em><em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind
</em><em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly.</em>
Okay, so when reading this aloud, we can clearly hear that the first rhymes that occur in the excerpt are in line one and line three. They both seem to end with words that end in “ind.” This brings both the words “unkind” and “mind” to rhyme. So, since that’s our first rhyme, we’ll label both those lines with the letter ‘a.’
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind,</em> {a}
<em>That from the nunnery</em>
<em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind </em> {a}
<em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly.</em>
Now, if you could please once again read the excerpt so, we could try to hear a second rhyme pair.
While the rhyming isn’t quite strong here, there is a slight rhyme in lines two and four. The end -y in the words “nunnery” and “ fly” do have a (slight) rhyme. So, since this is the second rhyme we have located, we’ll label those lines with the letter ‘b.’
<em>
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind, </em> {a}
<em>That from the nunnery </em> [b]
<em>Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind </em> {a}
<em>To war and </em><em>arms</em><em> I fly. </em> [b]
Since there are no more lines in the excerpt to rhyme, this is our final rhyme scheme.
This proves the answer should be c ) abab.
