Question
The doctor says that Johnny will be crippled if he survives. Why is this worse for Johnny than it would be for someone else? – Q/A (Question and Answer)

Test Answer

Answer:

While being crippled would be a terrible fate for anyone, Ponyboy explains that this is worse for Johnny not only because he would not be able to play football or join rumbles, but also because “[h]e’d have to stay in that house he hated, where he wasn’t wanted, and things could never be like they used to be” (103).
