What is the climax of this novel? What happens? How do the events of this novel make you feel?

I think the climax of this novel is Johnny killed Bob. Since this happen happening Johnny and Ponyboy's position changed. Before Johnny killed Bob, Johnny and Ponyboy went the place to see a movie. At there they met two beautiful girls, Cherry and Marcia. The one of the girls is a Socs' girl friend. Johnny and Ponyboy had a nice time with Cherry and Marcia. Because of this the blue Mustang came to the park and they were circling Johnny and Ponyboy. Johnny and Ponyboy couldn’t run because they drunk. The blue Mustang beaten them and put the ponyboy’s head in the fountain. Johnny saw this and he thought Ponyboy was going to die so he killed Bob who was putting ponyboy's head into the water. After Ponyboy recognized what Johnny did, they went to Dally and they got some money and guns. They ran away from there. This event makes me feel so sad. Johnny and Ponyboy are not bad people but the situation that Johnny killed Bob, it was may be impulsive. I think they got a shock from killed somebody. They are still young, but then they got terrible happens they have to left their home and they have to live really quietly nobody notice who they are. I think it is so heavy and tough for teenagers to carry out.
