Outsiders Micro CERS #09

DUE on Thursday 12/13/18 before 3:15 pm. 

Chapter 9

*SPOILERS*

Darry says, “I don’t know if you ought to be in this rumble, Pony,” (133), but Ponyboy insists on going.  

Look at the reasons different Greasers give for going to the rumble when Ponyboy asks them.  

Also, consider the risk of potential consequences of his fighting in the rumble.

Should Pony have gone to the rumble, or should he have stayed home?
