How does Ponyboy react to the news that Johnny is dead? How does Hinton develop his point of view and response to this event? Provide two pieces of evidence from pages 150-152 to support your answer.

I think that Ponyboy is initially in denial over Johnny's death. Even after Ponyboy tells the other Greasers that Johnny is dead, Ponyboy still inwardly tells himself that Johnny is still alive. Ponyboy puts himself in relative isolation for days after this in order to process Johnny's death.
