Conflict with Bob

When Johnny killed Bob in the book the book The Outsiders his whole life changed. At first it was a sign of self defense for his friend but it changed to a whole bigger conflict. They had to cut and bleach their hair which ruined their image. They also had to run away from their families. This makes both of them homesick. If Darry would have not slapped his brother Ponyboy in the first place none of this would have happened. Although Johnny says that it is his fault it could really be any of the boys fault. It could have been Darrys fault since he slapped him in the face. Also it could have been Ponyboy for running away he could have sucked it up and just gone to his room or hind in his yard. It also could have been Johnny fault for going with Ponyboy in the first place he could have just stayed home and not gone with him.
