    Everyone worries about Johnny because he is fragile on the inside. Johnny is the “gang’s pet, everyone's kid brother”(12). The gang feels Johnny is the pet. A member of the gang is always with him and watches him because he is not as tough as the others and because of this, they always have a eye on him. Johnny cares about all members of the gang because if he did not have the gang he would run away. Dally is the opposite of Johnny. He is “ tougher than the rest of us, tougher, colder, meaner”(10). The gang does not have to worry about Dally because he is tough. The gang knows Dally can get himself out of any trouble he gets in. Dally is mean and has a cold heart and because of this he does not care about…

    Body Paragraph 1: The one most affected by these negative labels is Dally because the words they used to describe him is hood, crook, greaser, hopeless, criminal, and heartless. These are incredibly destructive labels because he got so used to them that he does not love anyone back and I think it is because of his label Heartless. Dally even said “He could never love Cherry Valance back” He barely even loved anything I mean besides the gang and he really did not care when Johnny said he killed Bob Dally just said “Good for you.” He is also addicted to hate because he used to everyone hating him or just saying other things about him. I think he needs a quote like this one “Dear haters I couldn’t help but notice that AwesoMe ends with Me and Ugly starts with U.” That quote explains Dally in my opinion.…

    Another quote that I found interesting is, "Screw the clubs!" Tigo said. "Can't we pick our own ..." The word was hard coming. When it came, his eyes did not leave Danny's face. "... friends?" "Sure we can," Danny said vehemently. "Sure, we can! Why not?" Tigo grew from wanting gang acceptance to hankering for a true friendship, that he found in Tigo. Because they had similar interests; they both liked guns, wanted to join the army and neither particularly liked the other boys in their gang. Tigo reslised that Danny and himself . I was pleased that they knew they didn’t have to stay a gang member their whole lives and that they knew they had a option to leave and make their own friends and not fell pressured to die for their…

    He helped others out by pulling Johnny and Ponyboy out of the church and saving their lives. He also fought in the rumble for his greaser friends even though he should have been in the hospital getting better. Dally also kills himself because Johnny died, though this really isn't heroism it shows his love for his greaser friends. This is why I think Dally should be a hero.…

    Essay About Dally's Death

    The thing about Dally that would’ve stayed the same, is probably his personality. This is because it is so strong it is just so hard to change. He is tough, mean, risky, and overall a crazy person. These qualities you can’t change most of the time. He dedicated his whole life to trying to be the bad boy of the group, and really get out there. He succeeded doing this because many people were afraid of him, and many people generally loved him. “Dally hated to do things the legal way,” (Hinton 20). In this quote it explains how Dally played by his own rules. It shows that he won’t obey the laws…

    As much as they are alike they both have their many differences, especially when it comes to personalities. For example, Dallas is more of a stereotyped greaser because h is aggressive and tough. Even everybody in their gang tries their hardest to stay on Dally’s good side. Ponyboy says of Dally, “He was cold and hard and mean” (90). Clearly if one of his friends states him as being cold, hard, and mean that means he is one for fighting. Conversely, Johnny is the complete opposite of the stereotyped greaser, he is sensitive, and…
