Chapter 9 is the climax of the story. The climax is the dramatic moment when the tension reaches its peak and the conflict comes to a head. Ponyboy has just lost his best friend and Dallas lost the only person he ever cared about. There is no coming back from this event, the main character (Ponyboy) is changed forever. Everyone in the gang feels the same way about the loss of their friend. Even Two-Bit said that he wished it was "anyone of us, anyone but Johnny!"
