Johnny is a smaller-than-average sixteen year-old greaser that lives with his parents. Johnny’s parents always fight, so Johnny lives on the lot or at Ponyboy’s house. When Johnny got into high school he dropped out the next year. Johnny dropped out because he did not have good enough grades. Johnny is the gang’s pet because he has gone through so much. Also, Johnny is the gangs pet because he listens to what people have to say to him. When Ponyboy told Johnny the poem “Nothing Stays Gold” Johnny got more meaning from it than Ponyboy did. Finally, Johnny thinks of Dallas as a hero. Johnny thinks this because Dallas has much gallantry.
