Main Character's Most Pressing Problem

Ponyboy's most pressing problem at this time is, he is losing one of his best friends. Johnny was the one of the only greasers around his age and they were very close. Pony and Johnny ran into a burning church to save four students and as Johnny was jumping out, a piece of the roof came down on his back. Johnny was in critical condition and was in intensive care at the hospital where he later passed away.
