The Outsiders Micro CERS #11

Chapter 11

DUE Tomorrow, Tuesday 12/18/18 at 8:15 AM

*Spoilers*

When Randy visits Ponyboy and states that “…I kind of let him [my father] down, being mixed up in all of this,” (164). 

Does Randy feel more remorse because the murder has gone all the way to court, and his family is now embarrassed by his actions as a bully?  Or, does he feel more remorse because he shouldn’t have been tormenting and bullying Greasers in the first place?  Maybe he's learned from his mistakes. 

In other words, is Randy more upset because of the role he played in his friend’s a murder, or because he got caught?
