Brothers

Ponyboy Curtis and Johnny Cade's adventures have taken them from fugitives to heroes, but it all came back to family. Their family of teens with troubled homes, dropouts and orphans stayed together because they're all they've got. Keith Mathews, Dallas Winston, Steve Randle, Sodapop and Darrel Curtis - they have their own life and part of it is a war with the Socs. That war got to be to much to handle, though, after Johnny died to save the children in the church. Dally killed himself pulling an unloaded gun on the police after Johnny's death, and the rest of the gang was shattered. They picked up the pieces, and even though it will take them a long time to rebuild, they still have to keep living. Ponyboy will watch sunsets, and Darry won't work quite so much, and Soda will keep them together. Things won't be easy, or even steady, but they'll live. They have to.
