Dally Winston is meaner, colder and tougher member of the greasers. Ponyboy describes him as ‘towheaded and shifty-eyed, Dally was anything but handsome. Yet in his hard face there was character, pride, and a savage defiance of the world.’…
In the beginning of the novel, Dallas Winston who is also referred to as Dally, is a troublemaker and a hood. Dally can be used as an example of the label “greaser” which is a very big stereotype. Dally is portrayed as a criminal who breaks all the rules and jumps people. He also “hated to do things the legal way”.…

This experiment of Coke vs Pepsi is tied into chemistry by the percentage of the compound/sugar in each can of soda.…
There are many differences and similarities between Johnny and Dally. Dally is wreck less, violent, dangerous and a bad boy who has sharp teeth, ears of a lynx (which is a type of cat), a pointy chin and elfish face with a high cheekbone. But Johnny is the opposite who is a nice, kind, nervous, sensitive and a shy 16 year old boy. Also Johnny has a dark tanned face, big black eyes, greased and combed hair. Both boys had something in common like their loyalty to their friends, they belong in the same gang, do anything for a friend in need, they care for each other and how their parents don’t care for Johnny and Dally. Johnny plays as a sensitive, quiet, nervous and, shy person and Dally plays as a tough, dangerous bad boy through out the novel…
True friends, are always similar and different. In “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton, the characters Johnny and Dally are two buddies that have similarities and differences between them. These two boys both have neglectful and abusive parents and place little value on their lives. Although Johnny and Dally are somewhat similar, they also have differences between the type of character they are and the image they have after they die.…
Johnny and Dally share one big similarity and that is that they both have abusive parents. Johnny’s parents don’t pay any attention to him or they beat him, that really bugs Johnny. The rest of the gang notices that and they show Johnny the affection that he needs. Ponyboy says “‘His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignores him”’ (12). It is very obvious that Johnny is sensitive about his situation at home. Dally is the opposite of Johnny is his situation at home, he does not care about his parents or if they care about him. Dally says to Johnny, “‘My old man don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter. That don’t…
He helped others out by pulling Johnny and Ponyboy out of the church and saving their lives. He also fought in the rumble for his greaser friends even though he should have been in the hospital getting better. Dally also kills himself because Johnny died, though this really isn't heroism it shows his love for his greaser friends. This is why I think Dally should be a hero.…
Darry and Soda had different points of view on how to interact with their brother Ponyboy. On page 2, the books states, “Soda’s never hollering at me all the time the way Darry is, or treating me as if I am six instead of fourteen.” From this quote, the reader is told that Darry treats Ponyboy differently than Soda. It can be inferred that Darry is more strict with Ponyboy while Soda may not be as strict. On the other hand, “Soda’s always happy-go-lucky and grinning, while Darry’s hard and firm and rarely grins at all.” (The Outsiders, pg. 2) This quote shows another example of how Soda is different from Darry because it shows Soda being more joyful and relaxed, but Darry is more stern and not warm. Furthermore, the way both brothers treat Ponyboy demonstrates Hinton’s theme that family is there to support each other at all times because both brothers clearly care about Pony but show it in different…
The thing about Dally that would’ve stayed the same, is probably his personality. This is because it is so strong it is just so hard to change. He is tough, mean, risky, and overall a crazy person. These qualities you can’t change most of the time. He dedicated his whole life to trying to be the bad boy of the group, and really get out there. He succeeded doing this because many people were afraid of him, and many people generally loved him. “Dally hated to do things the legal way,” (Hinton 20). In this quote it explains how Dally played by his own rules. It shows that he won’t obey the laws…
He stands up for what he believes in and was respected by the Greasers. Dally was one of the heroes because he helped save the kids that was in the burning church. He also saved Ponyboy from letting the fire get on him in the burning church. Dally’s a hero because he told Ponyboy and Johnny where to hide after Johnny killed Bob so they wouldn’t…
A strong similarity between Johnny and Dally is that they both have parents who abuse and neglect them. Half of the time Dally’s father does not know where he is. While Dally, Johnny, and Ponyboy are driving back to the church, Dally says, “‘ Shoot, my old man don’t give a hang whether I’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter. That don’t bother me none’” (88). Dally’s dad does not care about him. His dad neglects him and does not pay any attention to him. This…
As much as they are alike they both have their many differences, especially when it comes to personalities. For example, Dallas is more of a stereotyped greaser because h is aggressive and tough. Even everybody in their gang tries their hardest to stay on Dally’s good side. Ponyboy says of Dally, “He was cold and hard and mean” (90). Clearly if one of his friends states him as being cold, hard, and mean that means he is one for fighting. Conversely, Johnny is the complete opposite of the stereotyped greaser, he is sensitive, and…
In the novel it talks mostly about how the Greasers’ care for one another. They’ll be there to have each other’s back when they got jumped by Socs’. They’ll be there if one of them got in trouble with the police. They’ll always have each other’s back when they needed it the most. But I think that they care about Johnny the most. He was jumped really badly by the Socs’ and he was scared ever since. They always protected him when he was in danger. Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop provided food and shelter for him when his parents were fighting because he was sick of it. In fact, Darry, Ponyboy, and Sodapop provided food and shelter for anybody in the gang. That’s why they keep their front door unlocked. Another example was when Johnny died. Everybody was shocked and depressed, especially Dally. It was like they couldn’t live without him. This proves how much they care for each other, and…
