I'm assuming you are writing about the death of the Soc. in the park. There are many reasons to deffend these boys. Some of the major reasons include: 1. Johnny was terrified the boys were going to drown Ponyboy in the park fountain. 2. The two Soc's initiated the fight by following the boys into the park and threatening them.
Right before he dies in the hospital, Johnny says “Stay gold, Ponyboy.” Ponyboy cannot figure out what Johnny means until he reads the note Johnny left. Johnny writes that “stay gold” is a reference to the Robert Frost poem Ponyboy shared when they were hiding at the church.
