EVERYONE LIVES
Sodapop Curtis and Steve Randle would stick together until the end. And so they did, when they were drafted for the Vietnam War they swore theyβd be there for each otherβ¦
Which ended up in them dying.
They died in a compromising position that hinted at a secret relationship of theirs, since they grew up in the South in the 60βs that was seen as a sin. Sodaβs brothers, Darry (eldest) and Ponyboy (youngest) couldnβt care less about what gender their brother liked, even their dad was rethinking his morals. Steveβs father was really homophobic ans it even took a while to convince him to go to the funeral.
The rest of gang (Johnny Cade, Dallas Winston and Two-Bit Mathews) could not care, they were just sad about their friendsβ death.
CHURCH
Mr. Curtis, the father of Sodapop and his brothers was up on the podium, he was meant to give a speech of Sodapopβs life.
