1. Explain why Pony might rather have anyone's hate than their pity (p.162)?
Pony would much rather have someones hate than their pity because he feels that when someone gives you pity its like they feel sorry for you because they have something and you don't. They feel sorry for you because of something negative about you and not them. When someone gives you pity, it makes Pony feel helpless or like hes hit rock bottom. Pony never wants to feel like that. He would rather have someone hate him and be jealous of him then make him feel powerless and dependent.
2. What do you think is going on with Ponyboy when he says, "Johnny didn't have anyhing to do with Bob's getting killed" (p.166)?
When Pony says that Johnny didn't have anything to do with Bob being killed, I think that hes somewhat right. Johnny was the murderer, but it wasn't totally his fault Bob was killed. Johnny never wanted to kill anyone, he didn't want to cause any harm. It was Bob that attacked him while he was intoxicated. But i still think Johnny did have somthing to do with him being killed even if it was only self-defense

The ones I pity are the ones who never stick out their neck for something they believe, never know the taste of moral struggle, and never have the thrill of victory. See the link below for more info.
