The fire may have been started by the “greasers” but there are many other people, including some of the greasers who are innocent during the fire. First is the teacher. The teacher of the school next door to the church decided to have a picnic next to the church. The teacher warned the students not to play in the church, but the kids decided to go play in church anyway, not knowing minutes later they would be trapped in a burning inferno. The teacher is not guilty of putting the kids in danger because she told them not to go in the church therefore she is innocent. Next we have Ponyboy and Johnny, who started the fire, but are portrayed as innocent by the news and are called heroes. Johnny and Ponyboy had been smoking in the church and accidentally started a fire so they are the ones guilty of the fire but when they run into the church to save all the kids in the fire they are called heroes and people think they are innocent. Last there is the nurse at the hospital who keeps getting nagged by Two-Bit repulsively to let them see Johnny but she can’t do anything about it. She is just following the rules which makes her
