But knowing Johnny he had to help. So all in all he died while trying to save someone in a house, burning with hot scorching flames that would probably burn anything in its way. I think he forgot to think about that he didn’t have to die right then to be with Johnny to know that he could be with him because Johnny would always be with him even though while in heaven. He was mainly focused on the fact that his best pal was now gone and somewhere where he could not see him at the time. So he committed suicide by going to a gas station and robbing the

The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.” (Mark Twain). This quote from the famous American writer is the basis for what became one of the hardest ideas to comprehend, death. Death has always been a complex term, causing one to struggle with what the true definition is. It is also hard to wrap your mind around what does it truly mean to die. These are the questions we long for the answer. Whether we acknowledge it or not, death has always been feared by many. Death remains an impossible question, one that has been unexplained since beginning of time. Even though dying is a natural, we as a human race still fear it. What can be done to defeat this never-ending battle? According to Montaigne’s “To Philosophize is to Learn to Die” and Cory Taylor’s “Questions for Me About Dying” we can overcome this by living to the fullest, living with no regrets, living a legacy, and lastly not fearing the inevitable. If you want to conquer the question of life, live in the moment.

On page 95, Johnny wanted to take responsibility and turn himself into the police. He also wanted to do this because he cared about Ponyboy and his brothers. Although this did not happen due to the fire, Johnny showed another heroic trait. He showed bravery by jumping into the burning church with Ponyboy to save the kids inside. You can see in the middle of chapter six, Johnny even broke his back attempting to rescue the children. Lastly, Cade showed humility while in the hospital. In the letter he wrote to Ponyboy, Johnny said, “It’s worth saving those kids. Their lives are worth more than mine, they have more to live for.” Hinton showed the readers that Cade was a real hero through the entire story.
