The Outsiders Conflicts

I think that the biggest conflict in the entire book would have to be when Johnny kills Bob. That pretty much makes the relationship between the greasers and soc's even worse. It is also the reason that Johnny got hurt. If the soc's wouldn't have jumped them, then Johnny wouldn't have killed Bob. If Johnny didn't kill Bob, then Ponyboy and Johnny wouldn't have had to run away. If they wouldn't have had to run away, then Johnny wouldn't be hurt and in the hospital. I think that if the Soc's and Greasers can solve most of the conflicts, then the city they live in might be peaceful.
