A) How might what the doctor says at the very beginning of the chapter foreshadow Johnny's condition? B) When Two-Bit leaves the room to get the book, what does Johnny confess to Ponyboy?

The doctor lets them in basically to say goodby to Johnny. After Darry convinces a doctor that "we were about as much family as Dally and Johnny had," they learn that Dally will be okay, though one of his arms will always have burn scars. Johnny, on the other hand, is in critical condition with a broken back and third-degree burns. Even if he survives, he will be crippled.

Please submit your questions one at a time. Thanks!
