Vocab
acquitted- to declare not guilty
1. Explain why Pony might rather have any one's hate than their pity (p.162)?
Pony would rather have hate then pity because he sees pity as an insult because he is very independent and sees pity as a disrespect. Ponyboy doesn't like to be treated like a baby. He doesn't want pity because he believes that everything he is now is because of choices he made, not his environment.
2. What do you think is going on with Ponyboy when he says, "Johnny didn't have anything to do with Bob's getting killed" (p.166)?
Ponyboy lies to himself saying that he was the one that killed Bob because he doesn't want to face the pain of Johnny's death

The ones I pity are the ones who never stick out their neck for something they believe,
never know the taste of moral struggle, and never have the thrill of victory. See the link below for more info.
