In The Outsiders, Two-Bit Matthews is involved in some significant events. Can you give me three significant events he is involved in?

One of the first significant events that Two-bit is involved in is saving Ponyboy from the Socs when he was walking home from the movies alone. This helps to establish Two-bit as a guy that is really looking out for the other greasers and always cracking jokes.

One of the first significant events that Two-bit is involved in is saving Ponyboy from the Socs when he was walking home from the movies alone. This helps to establish Two-bit as a guy that is really looking out for the other greasers and always cracking jokes.


Two-bit is also there when Dally and Pony meet Marcia and Cherry. After they leave the drive-in and are headed back to Two-bit's car to give them a ride home, Bob and Randy show up and take the girls home instead. He acknowledges the gulf between the Socs and the Greasers when he says he must have been crazy to ask for Marcia's number in the first place. He leaves to go get drunk and Johnny and Pony are left alone when Bob and Randy come back.


He is also in the hospital when Johnny's mother shows up to try and see him. After hearing her whining about how they ought to get to see him, he tells her "No wonder [Johnny] hates your guts." As Ponyboy often said, Two-bit sees right to the heart of things and isn't afraid to tell it like it is.
