The Outsiders

What if you were a greaser with suicidal tenancies, been in jail a ton of times and has a shield around his feelings. Maybe one who is abused by his parents others and also treated as a pet to your friends.

            Dallas “Dally” Winston a rough kid who always gets in trouble. Dally is from New York City where he would run with all the gangs and get in trouble with the cops. Dally always in trouble with the cops; whenever something happens on their side of town he cops always go to dally. Dally’s parents don’t care about him or even what happens to him in the book dally is also the toughest and one of the oldest of  pony boy’s gang and if he has something to say about anything he speaks his mind and doesn’t care what anyone thinks of him. But Dally also has somewhat of a soft side when Dally comes to see Pony boy and Johnny Dally says” Johnny, I aint mad at you. I just don’t want you to get hurt. You don’t know what a few months in jail can do to you. Oh, blast It, Johnny you get hardened in jail. I didn’t want that to happen to you like it did to me…”.Dally dies in the end of the book after Johnny dies and then the police shoot at him till he dies 

            Johnny Cade is a quiet scared boy who keeps his mouth shut at any sign of danger. His parents are abusive and beat him and earlier in the book he is severally beaten the soc’s. Since he is beaten up so much his gang treats him as the pet. Later on in the book he runs away with Pony boy and they stop at the park and some soc’s come and try to beat them up and while Pony boy is being drowned Johnny kills one of them. Also later on he becomes a hero by saving a bunch of kids from a church that was on fire but gets crushed by one of the beams and breaks his back but he eventually Johnny also dies.

            The things that these two people have in common are that they are both in the same gang. They both die in the end of the book but in different ways. They both care about each other but only Dally shows it in the book.

            They both look and sound different and they were but they were and still are friends to the end.

Outsiders Conflict

The police is not fair to the greasers because they believe that they are all bad especially Dally. Every time something bad happens in their side the first one that they go to is Dally.

Johnny

johnny is a scared boy who gets beaten by his parents and is treated as the dog in the gang he is in. He is misjudged by the gang because of how often he get beaten up especially the sco's.over all Johnny is a good person because he has Poneys back and he doesn't complain about how often he gets beaten up.
