Authors Note: An example of the point of view from a news reporter after the fire in the church in the book "The Outsiders."
Yesterday the church on Jay Mountain in Windrixville ignited in flames from an unknown source. The same day, students were on a class trip in a field nearby. After the teachers counted to see if they had everyone, five students were missing. The children had wandered to the church and were trapped inside. Two heroic boys, Johnny Cade and Ponyboy Curtis, broke a window and saved all the children. After rescuing the children, they became stuck and Dallas Winston, a friend of the heroes, arrived at the scene and pulled them to safety as well.
When they were being taken to the hospital it was discovered that they were the ones who killed Bob Sheldon. Also, that it was self defense. The boys were attacked by Bob and his friends at the park on the east side of town, where they took Ponyboy to the fountain and tried to drown him. Johnny stabbed Bob with his pocket knife to save Ponyboy from drowning. So will the law treat them as heroes or fugitives?
Pretty good it was also very unorganized in how you said it. And when I started reading it I couldn't tell if this essay was a bout the Outsiders until I heard the name Johnny.
