#1) What did johnny want the boys to get for him in the hospital? why were these things important?
Answer: Johnny wanted a copy of the book Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind is the book that Ponyboy and Johnny read together while they hide in the old church. Johnny finds the book significant because he remembered Pony saying something about it once. This speaks to the significance of Pony in Johnny's life. A simple reference to a book made Johnny buy it because he could share that experience with his friend.
