The outsiders ends

     First of all this book was amazing. I would rate it a 4.5 stars when I read the ending. So now for the theme. I think the theme is about violence is never the answer because I think when Johnny died telling Ponyboy that fighting isn't worth it, I think that was when Ponyboy was the most affected during the book. It told Ponyboy and the whole gang no more fighting. That is when Ponyboy realized that we need to stop fighting.
