Chapters 5 and 6
Heroism :P!
For chapters 5 and 6 I decided to chose the word heroism. I chose this word because of the different events in these chapters. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dally were the ones whom demonstrated heroism by the deeds they commited. Ponyboy and Johnny showed complete selflessnes by going into the burning church trying to save the little children that were trapped inside. Dally showed heroism by trying to save Johnny and Ponyboy after they realized that they were in trouble. They knew that they were putting themselves in danger by doing what they did. So I definitely feel that heroism is shown in these chapters and that it is definetly the best word, or at least in my opinion.
