Overall, the book is a great read, even for those who do not enjoy
Dally unexpectedly demonstrates bravery many times throughout the book. Initially, Ponyboy views Dally as tough and mean. However, Dally frequently displays his selflessness by helping his fellow gang members, even though the consequences for him could be very detrimental. In doing so, he establishes himself as a father figure, someone who will look out for the others, no matter what. His heroism creates trust between the boys and establishes a ‘family’ within the gang, which each of them is sadly missing in one way or another.
and I’ll try to believe what I said, but in reality I know what I said is absolutely not true at all! Which now that I think about it is really funny, and I can also connect with Ponyboy on another personal level. When he says “I don’t care about Dally.” I automatically thought about me and how I’ve said I don’t care about someone when I really do.

Lincoln 's purpose in this excerpt was to convey the message that the country was not ready to take on the issue of slavery. At the time of this speech Lincoln was comparing slavery to trying to ride a young horse. If the country were to jump on the issue of slavery, while public opinion was still unsure it would divide the country, like a rider that is most likely to fall of an unbroken horse. Lincoln also was cautious in that he wanted to look into the topic of slavery more, but at some point, the country would have to face the issue, and try to come up with a compromise on slavery, and the issues that surround it. Otherwise the country would be divided and that is not what Lincoln desired.
The author really proves a point on Dally’s personality and who he really cares about in the movie. “Ponyboy” says Dally after he was shot like 13 times like everywhere as everyone around Dally is screaming with sadness and terror. I don’t think that this was in the book but it helps us understand that he cared about

Charley wanted to become a man so badly and so quickly, that he was blindsided by the factors of what it would really be like, living life in the army. Charley was 15 years old entering the war.

Read This… The book was sitting on the floor next to the toilet. Yes, I know that may not be the best opening line. The title on the cover was purple and a delightful. This book had tattered edges with the pages turning a slight yellow.
He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he'd die someday,” (154). The deep effect Dally’s friendship had on Ponyboy’s life is truly evident after his devastating death. By losing Dally, Ponyboy’s view of the world changes, he
When it comes to Dally he views him as the “character of the gang” but also dangerous. In chapter 7, after Ponyboy and Johnny, Ponyboy’s best friend and member of the gang, had saved children from the burning church and Dally saved Pony from the flame on his back, the boys are in the hospital. Pony tries to comfort himself by saying ¨Dally’ll be okay, I thought. Dallas is always okay.¨(86).Pony’s perspective has slightly shifted to seeing Dally as more of a human with different sides rather than the figure he has painted for each member of the gang.
“You got to think Ponyboy” is one of my favorites quotes to say after my parents died. I have two jobs and also to watch out for Ponyboy and Sodapop not to go to a boys home. I am the oldest of the greasers. I slapped Ponyboy to tell him to never be late again. Also I slapped him because I can not call the police because they will put Soda and him in a boys home and they would never see me again.
