If anybody messes and gets in his way, Dally will beat them up. Dally is the most meanest and unforgiving person in the gang. Pony doesn’t really like the way he acts to everybody. Dally has been aggressive all his life.

The toughest hood in Ponyboy's group of greasers. Dallas, known as “Dally,” is a hardened teen who used to run with gangs in New York. He has an elfin face and icy blue eyes and, unlike his friends, does not put grease in his white-blond hair. Dally’s violent tendencies make him more dangerous than the other

First of all Dally is especially reckless. Dally is reckless because when he was in New York he would get into gang fights just to blow off steam. Dally getting into gang fight just to blow off steam is just a reckless thing to do because why would you do that when you could seriously get hurt or killed. Another reckless thing Dally did was he cheated on serious games like poker and he would steal from stores. This also shows how Dally id reckless because by doing this it could get him into jail again

Therefore dally and johnny have some similarities and huge amount of differences. Dally is a mean, aggressive, tough person. He has a record a mile long. He can’t do anything legal, so when he wants to go to the drive in everyone with him has to sneak in. He loves picking fights with people and loves to scare little kids.

Johnny lives a couple more days before his depressing death. And Dally, the only thing keeping him alive was Johnny. Once Johnny was dead, Dally felt as though he had no point in being alive anymore. He robbed a grocery store and just let the cops chase him. He eventually turned around and held up a gun.

Dally is tougher than I am. Why can I take it when Dally can’t? And then I knew. Johnny was the one thing Dally loved” (Hinton 152). This demonstrates loyalty and family because Dally loved Johnny, meaning when Johnny died Dally could not live without him.

Dally was a leader when Johnny killed a socs and ran away instead of turning himself in because they went to Dally for help and a sense of what to do next. ‘’Johnny, I ain’t mad at you. I don't want you to get hurt. You don't know what a few months in jail can do to you’’ (76).

The chapters 1-5 of the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, is about two gangs the greasers and the Socs, who are always causing trouble. In the greaser gang, the protagonist, Ponyboy, is always getting good grades and is the smartest in the gang. Dally is one of the members in the gang, Ponyboy 's brother, has been in jail multiple times. Sodapop is also Ponyboy’s brother. He works at a gas station.

Dally is not strong mentally (when he couldn’t let Johnny go), he really does not do good deeds, and he does not care about any other people than only Johnny, and he’s rude to others and bad at using words. A quotation that supports my statement is, “What for? Get back in here before I beat your head in.” (p.90) This quotation supports my statement because Dally said this to Ponyboy when he hopped off the car and said to see what the deal is when he saw the old church on fire, it proves that Dally does not care about other stuff that does not involve him and that he’s rude to others and using

The characters thought that Dally was just really angry at the world, that his robbing of the bank was him attempting to blow off steam, and that his consequential death was all a result of his bad decisions. In reality, Dally had just been told about Johnny's death, and he was heartbroken. The text shows this happening when it says, “Damnit, Johnny…’ he begged, slamming one fist against the wall, hammering it to make it obey his will. ‘Oh, damnit, Johnny, don’t die, please don’t die…’ He suddenly bolted through the door and down the hall”(Hinton 149).

We can see towards the end of the novel that Dally begins to blow after Johnny's death, as stated by Ponyboy "Dallas is gone, " I said. "He ran out like the devil was after him. He's gonna blow up. He couldn't take it." (Hinton, 130.).

From the age of ten, Dally had stolen and gotten into many fights. The novel even says, “Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten.” Nevertheless, when he was with Ponyboy and the gang, he lied, cheated, stole, and jumped kids. Dallas never cared about the law affecting him, but he did care about it when it came to Johnny, especially when Johnny wanted to turn himself into the police after killing Bob. Dallas completely stopped him though, because of the many experiences that he had.

“They was gettin him for breakin the windows in the school building, and it was Two-Bit who did that. And Dally knew it. But he just took the sentence without battin an eye or denying it. ”-The Outsiders. This quote symbolizes loyalty because when Dally took the blame he knew that Two-bit was irreplaceable and he didn’t mind going to jail for him.

Dally A rock-hard hood who never backs down from any challenge. Dally is a character in the book “Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. The Outsiders is a book where a ragtag group of greasers band together and overcome victories, tragedies, and above all, build an even stronger bond of brotherhood. This story begins in the town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Ponyboy(our main character) is walking home from the movies and gets ambushed by a large group of Socs(Sociables-the “popular/rich” clique).

(1.48) After Johnny died, Dally makes an enormous sacrifice that took away his life. He loved Johnny so much that he couldn't take the fact he was gone. Dally was known to be the most cold-blooded member of the gang but after Johnny's death, he was the one who showed the most affection. Dally wouldn’t have been shot if he didn’t love Johnny so much, and sacrificed himself.
