:obvious things are stated for the bot
Johnny Cade wasnβt exactly religious, mostly because he believed that if a God did exist he would not let his parents beat him up so often. But he had seen an angel first hand- that angel was Sodapop Curtis.
The middle Curtis brother was the most gorgeous thing Johnny had ever seen, with blond silky hair , expressive brown eyes and the prettiest smile Tulsa Oklahoma had ever seen. Soda was always gentle with Johnny, but never making feel underestimated either. Maybe the first time Johnny had ever thought of Soda that way was right after getting beaten to a pulp by a group of Socs, Sodapop had cradled him into his arms the way Mary cradled Christ- for the first time in a long time⦠Johnny felt Safe..
Afterwards, Johnny laid on a bed of the Curtis household- Ponyboy had been reading him a book for the past hour to calm him down, but now Soda was dabbing a wet rag over his forehead, Johnny was sick to top off the beating he endured. Johnny stated up to Soda with his big dark eyes, his breath fell short as he spoke βGlory, youβre pretty.β
