Summary
Jerry Wood looks at him with a face that's familiar — not because he really knows the schoolteacher so much as the fact that he has the face that most people have out here in the Panhandle: weathered from the storm, aged too far ahead of time, and his skin cleaves to his face from all of that mixing with the starvation they all feel now. No matter where one went down here, you always were hungry for water, for food, for anything except the dust that kicked into your sinuses or your face.
Still, his face retains something that most people have not: kindness. That's still present in his face, in the warmth of his eyes as he says, "You shouldn't be smokin'. You're too young to smoke."
Ponyboy thinks of the past while he gets ready to leave for church. Heroism comes in many forms.

Summary
The moment his father walks out of the grocery store shaking his head, his hands in the pockets of his coat, Ponyboy knows that the cranberry sauce they're looking for wasn't found. He knows they should've expected this — that they wouldn't have found it at any of the big stores out here, that had Christmas food. It was a miracle that everything was still open for Christmas Eve anyway.
"What are we gonna do?" Ponyboy asks, moving over in the car as Dad opens the door and slides into the driver's seat. "Mama's gonna be real upset that we went all this way to get it and didn't find it."
Dad taps at wheel, half humming along with the radio as he thinks. "Well... I think we still have some options, my boy."
"Like what?" Ponyboy asks, wondering what kind of crazy plan his Dad was cooking up now. The moment an easy solution was off the table was the moment Dad did his best thinking. "We've been to every store they've got. What're we gonna do, go over on to Texas and look?"
Freshly home from his time at finishing school, Ponyboy and his Dad make a last minute run on Christmas Eve, 1956. Ponyboy meets the greaser Dallas Winston for the first time.

Summary
“ [….] Tim Shepard’s gang and our outfit are havin’ it out with the Socs tomorrow night at the vacant lot. We got hold of the president of one of their social clubs and had a war council. Yeah”—Dally sighed, and I knew he was remembering New York—“just like the good old days. If they win, things go on as usual. If we do, they stay outa our territory but good." — The Outsiders, Chapter Five.
Darry Curtis contacts every pack to get together for a war council. A look into each one.

Summary
That's the fear of it all for Darry: that he is going to slowly be replaced by the not-brother that wasn't here when their parents were barely scraping together money to pay for bills, that the not-brother in Philly with money was going to take over everything, that Ponyboy will go to Menelaus over and over again instead of Darry himself and he digs his heels in, promises that he won't let that happen, that he'll keep Ponyboy as close to him as possible, be the sort of person that Ponyboy chooses over Menelaus despite the money he has to offer.
Ponyboy begins to figure out his life with Menelaus. Fifty sentences in chronological order.
