458 Words2 Pages

First off, Ponyboy and Johnny went to Dally Winston after killing Bob because of his superior skills in fleeing from the cops and trouble. Dally has committed and have been associated with crimes before so Ponyboy and Johnny went to him for help and advice. They know him very well because they are all close because of the gang. In the text on page 18 “Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten.” Dally has an experience with the police like no one else they know.

He is able to be trusted and is even going to risk getting caught to help them out. This is the type of person that I would want to help me if something bad like this were to happen. To wrap things up Ponyboy and Johnny went to Dally for help because of quick thinking skills, his past experience, and
