Conclusion A. Review: 1. Sodapop tells Ponyboy he is tired of him fighting Darry all the time and dealing with so much tension at home. Finally understanding the value of their family Ponyboy decides to not fight anymore. The brothers want to remember Dally and Johnny’s death without pain or denial. 2. Ponyboy decides to use the novel the reader just read as his term paper for his English class.

B. Final Memorable Statement: 1. ‘’There isn’t any real good reason for fighting, except self-defense.’’...
