Here is the the short form for the chapters of 11 & 12:

  1. Ponyboy thinks that he was the one that killed Bob and not Johhny.
  2. Ponyboy and Darry get into a fight so Sodapop runs away then Ponybot and Darry have to promise that they won’t fight anymore for the sake of Sodapop.
  3. They also go to the court to se iof they can stay together as a family and the court decided yes and also that the deth of Bob was in self defense so they dont have to go to a boys home.
  4. Ponyboy was reading the “Gone With The Wind” book and he found a note for Johnny saying that nothing gold can stay for the peom that Ponyboy recited in the church to him. But what it also says is that to tell Dally it too but it was to late.

I think that these chapters were mostly based around the word freindship because what i thought was when Darry and Soda made Ponyboy stay in bed ’cause they wanted him to get rest to heel. And i also thought that when Sodapop ran out and was crying because Darry and Sodapop were fighting and they gave up fighting to make Sodapop feel better.I also thought it was freindshipwhen Johnny had left that note saying to stay gold, I thought that was showing that he really did care and love them and that line that he made for Darry, I thought could have made Darry not kill himself tracticlly. If only he could have found the note faster but, nothing gold can stay says Robert Froest.
