Dally As A Hero In Johnny's Johnny

463 Words2 Pages

Dally has to be the hero, he helped the boys get out of the Johnny killing a boy situation. He also came to help them at the church. When they saved the little children at the church, they failed to get all of them and Johnny got hurt. He went in, rescued the rest of the children and rescued Johny. All though Dally wasn’t the greatest his whole life, he came through and did what was needed. Most people would say Johnny is the hero, only because he killed the boy. A hero is not some superhero who can fly, it is someone who has done things in their life to become a hero. Dally wasn’t always the best, he messed with Ponyboy and didn’t even treat him humanely. Again, he wasn’t the best, but he came through at the right moments and saved the day, …show more content…

He is actually an intelligent person, but doesn’t choose to make wise choices. After a while he starts realizing how mean he is being to Pony. Before all the junk with Bob happened, he was a different person. While they were away from home, he stopped doing all these bad things. Instead, he was on the lookout to find them and bring them home. Yet again, he did another thing that possibly saved them. Gave them a gun, 50 bucks, and Pony a dry shirt and boy did that help them. They would not have been able to eat if it weren’t for Dally. He could have done great things in his life instead of stealing and being rude. But he chose not too. Sadly, after all the mess happened when Johnny died, he decided to go back to robbing. Later that day he was chased down by the cops all the way back to his house. He was sad and ready to die. So he pulled out his gun which had zero bullets and immediately got shot down by the police. That resulted in him dying instantly, no words or anything, just death… The point is, is that Dally is the hero. He wasn’t the most cheerful person or nice person. But he did save the day when the time was needed and for that reason, he is the hero. His death was tragic and utterly sad, but he wanted it too happen so he did. He is a hero no matter

    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

    Dally not only died a hero to Johnny, he died a hero to many others as well. Dally showed his courage when he put his life at risk to help Johnny and Ponyboy run away from the crime they committed, and he also saved Johnny and Ponyboy from the fire inside of the church. Dally might have been cowardly in some parts of The Outsiders ,but his heroic acts to Ponyboy, Johnny, and other members of the gang show that he died a hero. First of all, Dally died a hero because he helped Ponyboy and Johnny hide from the crime that they committed even though he took a risk in doing so. Dally gave information to two wanted criminals on where to hide, and the police were not as nice to Greasers as they were to Socs.

    In the novel, the Outsiders, S.E Hinton portrays all characters except of Dally with very straightforward personalities because, as the book ends, the readers are able to see the unexpected. Dally’s tough and fearless personality appeared more like heroic and emotional as we conclude the novel. Besides, we readers we’d always pictured Dally like any other hoodlum but as we see him face real-life situations and his gestures towards them, we are genuinely taken away by his new character. We start to realize, how all this while it was Dally’s life experience that seemed to have chosen the path for him, which is why the person inside of him never had the chance.
