Experiences or memories
I thought the saddest scene in the book was when Bob was knifed by Johnny. In this scene, a few Socs jump Johnny and Ponyboy. Two of the Socs hold Ponyboy's head under the water in the fountain until he blacks out. He wakes up later with Bob's corpse sitting right next to him. Johnny tells Ponyboy what happened "I had to. They were drowning you, Pony They might have killed you"(57). They then decide to flee town. This was very sad because although Socs treat the greasers very bad, Bob still didn't deserve death. This scene shows how much Johnny cares about his friends and gang members because when someone messes with the youngest of the gang, he killed them. The significance of this scene is that the greasers are all close and will do what ever it takes to survive and over come the Socs.
