is a hero. The final action that shows how Dally is a hero, is he comes to the big rumble. To anyone coming to a rumble,(which is a big fight) would not be that big of a deal. Dally, coming to the rumble is such a big deal, because he was quite hurt. Although he was hurt Dally still showed up to help the boys win the rumble. This is so heroic, because he already had some pretty bad injuries. Going to the rumble could have made his injuries worse, and given him even more
the big rumble between the Jets (Americans) and the Sharks (Puerto Ricans) much tension occurs and lots of planning is taken place. Maria, a Shark girl, tells her true love, Tony, a Jet boy, that he must stop the rumble between the gangs. Tony promises his love, Maria that he would stop the rumble because he knew that both the gangs would regret it and it would lead to more trouble. In contrast to everyone else at the rumble, (including members of both of the gangs) fighting at the rumble was the
Tuff: when you try to be cooler than the others. The Outsiders is a book about friendship with a lot of friends that stick together, do what each other want them to do, and do everything together. I have read the book and there are many pages. But there are a couple chapters that stick out to me and prove that they are all of those things. First, they stick together because they love each other. In Chapter 4 When Johnny killed the soc he asked Dally for a heater (gun) so he could protect himself
died and that was what he wanted. “Dally wanted to die, and he always got what he wanted”. Likewise, Johnny didn't put any value on his life either. Johnny fits this example when he is at the hospital. He was very weak and he could not make it to the rumble. While he was there he told Ponyboy that those kids lives were worth more than his. “...Their lives are worth more than mine, they have more too lived for.” (178). Johnny has little value in his life and he proves that in the hospital. Although they
Violence is shown in this book by having rumbles between the Socs and the Greasers. Rumbles are usually a gathering of both the Socs and the Greasers and would fight to try to prove which group was superior of the other. For example, “While he was prying my fingers loose, Dally knocked him backward, so that all three of us rolled on the ground, gasping, cussing, and punching” (Hinton pg. 144). This shows how quickly violence can escalate during a rumble. In the quote you can see how the violence
In chapter 7 of the novel “The Outsiders” the author begins chapter 7 by introducing pony-boy and three others waiting to hear about dally and Johnny. Reporters then showed up, and so did the police. They began questioning pony boy too quickly that he was muddled up in confusion. Pony-boy felt nervous around the policemen and because of all the questions being asked all at once, pony-boy felt terribly sick. Darry then got the reporters to back off on questioning Pony boy because he wasn’t feeling
of the same problems,for instance drinking problems,families issues and,Are constantly getting into rumbles. As one of the difficulties that both the Greasers faced and Socs was that they were constantly getting into rumbles.In the Outsiders it says”Greasers can’t walk alone too much or they’ll get jumped.”(page 2).Therefore, this shows that Socs and Greasers get jumped and that is when the rumble might begin.Also. if Socs jump greasers when they try to defend themselves they also can get themselves
I think that the Socials started the rumble. The socials are always looking for a fight. And when they do fight, they’re drunk so even if you wanted to talk them out of it, you couldn’t. The Socials are the ones that usually start fights too, I mean, did you see what the did to poor Johnny? He was defenseless with no weapon and they beat him to a pulp! For no particular reason too. They show no mercy at all. If the Socials didn’t go out and start a fight with Johnny and Pony, Bob wouldn’t
Two characters, Johnny and Dally, from The Outsiders may seem like their different at first look, and some parts of them are. Dally is a big fighter, while Johnny is not. Although there are some similarities within the two. One of these would be that they both come from abusive homes. Despite what it may seem, these two may not be what they might seem. Both Johnny and Dally come from abusive homes, which would mean that their parents would not care about them, whether they were in jail for illegal
In the book The Outsiders, by S.E Hinton, Ponyboy the main character, thinks he has everything figured out in life, he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop and he can count on his friends too.
