I think ponyboy means that the gang cant get along right without johnny. Just as much as he couldn't get along right without his whole gang. Johnny is their gangs pet, and everyone loves johnny.

When Pony says "We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gand. And for the same reason". He means that Johnny is like a brother to the boys and he depends on the gang not his parents and family. The gang needs Johnny because he's a member and a part of the brotherhood and sometimes the gang relies on him. The reason for this is that the gang relies on each-other.

20: I think pony means life would be different and strange without Johnny being there. I think the reason is that some of the gang has no one to help them when they get in a mess or has something they need to talk about.

I think that Ponyboy means they need Johnny as much as he needed the gang, and the reason of that is because the gang relays on everyone that’s in it.

Pony means that the gang needs Johnny a lot and if he were to die the gang would be nothing. Johnny is the gangs pet; he keeps them all together and keeps them from tearing each other’s heads off. He is a good fighter and can hold his tongue around the cops.

I think that Ponyboy means that without the gang Johnny wouldn’t have anyone to keep him on the right path. The gang does this because Johnny’s parents won’t take care of him so the gang does it for them. If I was a member of the gang I would feel very sorry for Johnny. This also goes for the gang because Johnny is the one who keeps them together and Johnny keeps them from doing stupid things like killing people for no reason. It’s amazing because the guy whose parents don’t care acts the most parent like in the group.

"We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang. And for the same reason" Ponyboy means that without Johnny they wouldn’t of none what it was like to get beat up by their parents, and since that happened Johnny made the gang come together like a family.

I think that Ponyboy means that the gang can't get along right without Jonny because everone loves him and he is the gang's pet. They are all like brothers and they depend on eachother and help when somebody is in trouble. Jonny also stops his gang from getting into to many fights and killing people. Just keeps everone together well but sometimes they might get into fights but not bloodly ones because Jonny is in their minds.

I think Ponyby means that the gang is like Johnnys other family, the family he can trust and talk to. Ponyboy means that everyone in the gang knows what Johnny goes through with his mother and father, and they all want to be there for him , and keep him safe. ponyboy means that Johnny keeps everyone together in the gang, gives them a reason to stay a gang and stay together.

I think that pony ment that with out johnny in the gang no one will get along because hes the one who keepet them from fighting. It wont be the same with out him and the gang needs him. The reason Johnny needed the gang is beacuse they gave him somewhere to stay when his dad would beat him or when the wold fight the gang hepled johnny.

I think ponyboy means that by that don't want johnny to die. They don't want him to leave the group. To them he is like a brother to the gang. Also Johnny depended on the gang for help, and because they couldn't get along right without him.

I think that Ponyboy means that the gang cant get along anymore without Johnny. Johnny is the gangs pet to them. And everyone in the gang loves Johnny so much, and they miss him.

What ponyboy means when he says we needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang is that without Johnny in the gang then it will start to fall apart.

When pony boy says ''We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang and for the same reason'' he ment that Johnny is the gangs pet and they need him as much as Johnny needs the gang. Johnny needs the gang because his parents treats him bad by balling at him and hitting him.

Unknown said...

Well the gang could never get along without johnny if he died. Johnny is the gangs pet and he is apart of the gang,he was like a brotherto them all!
