WHY?

What I am doing here I don't know but to have that fear of death is scary. To have a gun pointed at me and being told I will be shot if I don't move faster is scary. I have no strength and I need food and water. I hope this ends soon I can’t take any more of it I will die sooner than I can live if I don't get food or water now. Where will I go when I leave here what will happen to me if my parents die what if I die? I am only six what have I done that is so wrong that I deserve this treatment. This cant be happening this must be a dream this will end when I wake up just let me wake up. What if I never wake up what if I sleep for ever and this lasts for ever. What have we done that is so wrong that we must be treated like animals? I hear people say this is just the beginning what can be worse than this I cant even imagine any thing more horrible than this. They are also saying we are heading to a camp. How can camp be bad when I think of camp I think out doors and camp fires. Although people do say I’m right about the fire. Some say I could die by fire. When the men with guns talk to us they always say some thing like "move Jew." is that why we are here? Our religion is why we are being killed like this. Is it so bad to believe in some thing else? If so I’m sorry ill stop. Just stop pointing that gun at me please. I have done nothing wrong so WHY?

“Sixteen years on the street and you a lot. But all wrong things, not the tings you want to learn”. This quote applies to Johnny due to the fact that he is not your typical greaser.
This quote has a significant meaning to this story. It’s basically saying you can learn anything you want on the street but it wont get you anywhere but killed or in jail or in some kind of trouble. The reason I picked Pony Boy is because he is the best example of what this quote means. One example is when Johnny gets beat up and he learns to walk alone he has to carry a weapon with him at all times. Another example is when Pony Boy is getting drowned and Johnny stabs Bob. One last example is being in a gang has ruined his life because he is doing bad things all of the time. That is why Johnny fits that quote so well.

A young male named Johnny Cade has died after suffering severe burns. He was burned in the fire at the banded church.Him and his friend were the ones who saved the kids from the fire. He died in his hospital bed late yesterday. you wouldnt think a kid like this would do something like this. He was in a gang called the Greasers. but this kid was no typical greaser. he was able to show hid emotions his last words were from a poem called "Nothing Gold Can Stay" he said "stay gold." His home life was hard too he had an abusive father. Yet he dies to save some children he never met.
