Dallas winston description8/12/2023 Pony recites the Robert Frost poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" when Johnny comments on the gold and silver in the sky, the mist and the clouds being pretty. He lets Pony cut his hair after, and then they pass time in the church by playing poker and reading Gone With The Wind. Pony immediately realizes this upon seeing the peroxide - he refuses, saying that it took him a while to get it the way he liked it.Īfter some convincing, Johnny cuts Pony's hair and dyes it blonde. Johnny wants to cut and dye Pony's hair so they wouldn't fit the descriptions in the newspapers. Johnny and Pony fall asleep in the church, and Johnny wakes up before Pony does, throwing his jean jacket over the sleeping boy to keep him warm and heading into town to purchase supplies, including a copy of Gone With The Wind, hydrogen peroxide, a week's supply of baloney, a loaf of bread and a deck of cards. They hop aboard the train, and end up at the church after Pony asks a man the way to Jay Mountain. He gives Johnny a loaded revolver, 50 dollars to buy provisions, as well as giving Pony a dry set of clothes to replace his soaking-wet sleeveless sweatshirt. Dally instructs them to hop aboard a freight train heading to a small town called Windrixville, and to hide in a church on Jay Mountain. They turn to Dallas at Buck Merrill's party to help them evade the police - murderers in Tulsa get the electric chair, and Pony would get split up from his brothers if he got caught, so staying in town wasn't exactly an option. When Pony awakens, he hears Johnny uttering "I killed him.", trembling in fear. He is horrified afterwards, sitting near the bloody corpse and against the water fountain. When they try to drown Pony, Johnny kills Bob with his switchblade - Bob is the one who had beaten him and given him the scar on his face months prior. They've come in revenge for the greasers picking up their girlfriends earlier after the drive-in movie. Johnny comforts his friend, when suddenly five Socs turn up, the same ones that had jumped Johnny during the summer. Johnny stays behind and later Ponyboy returns saying that Darry hit him. Ponyboy wakes up, realizing that it's past his curfew, and rushes home. On the way home they go to the lot near Johnny's house, and fall asleep. They later meet the girls' boyfriends who take the girls away. Later he goes to see a movie with Ponyboy and Dallas and they meet two girls, Sherri (Also known as Cherry), and Marcia. He is first seen after his best friend Ponyboy is jumped on the way back home from the movies and has his neck cut by some Socs, but gets saved by the rest of the gang, Johnny being among them. After the attack, he became extremely jumpy and fearful, and started carrying a switchblade. He had the scar for the rest of his life. He received a temple-to-cheek long gash scar on his left cheek, which was caused by the large rings worn by one of the Socs who grabbed him. Johnny was jumped by Socs about four months before the book began and was severely injured. He has a scar on his left cheek from when he was jumped and beaten severely by a group of Socs, the gash being left by the rings worn by one of the Socs who attacked him. His hair is always greasy, and he wears a dark t-shirt with a sky-blue denim jacket and jeans. He always has a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes." Johnny reminds Ponyboy of a little puppy that had been kicked too many times. He has big black eyes in a dark tanned face his hair is jet-black and heavily greased and combed to the side, but it is so long that it falls in shaggy bangs across his forehead.
