My paragraph ((( :
One day Billy decided to go to the corner store without telling his parents. But his mom had a premonition that he might of left the house, because they had gotten into an argument before over him not taking on responsibility and she new that the way Billy would let off steam is to go to the store and buy a candy bar. Billy was sort of a hermit, he didn’t get out very much but he had a lot of friends. He was always busy with sports and family, he didn’t even have much time to get out. His parents were ruefully for him, but deep down in side they new he was happy. So Billy returned home, and apologized for leaving the house without asking, and his parents accepted it.

1. What does Pony mean when he says the socs were "reeling pickled" on page 54?

that goes with the phrase.

4. What would your advice be to Johhny and Ponyboy if they'd come to you for help instead of Dally? Explain.
I think my advice to Ponyboy & Johnny would be the total opposite from Dally's. I understand where Dally was coming from telling them to run away and he did really help them ,
but I don't think it was the best solution for them, considering where they come from .
I think my advice to them would be, to turn them selves in, johnny killed another Human Bring and that the biggest most worst thing you could probably do .
And by Dally telling them to run away, isn't going to make the situation better in the long run.
