How Does the book outsider's end?

Answer 1

After the Greasers win the rumble, Dallas drags Ponyboy to the hospital to see Johnny. Johnny dies in the hospital from his injuries and Dallas freaks out and runs out of the hospital. Dallas robs a store and the cops are after him. He makes a phone call to the gang and tells them to meet him at the vacant lot. As he is running towards the lot he pulls out a gun and the cops shoot him. After Dallas dies, Ponyboy gets sick and is in a state of delirium because he believes that Dallas and Johnny are still alive. He finally snaps out of it after the trial about Bob and after he makes peace with Randy. However, he is failing in school and nearly cuts a Soc with a broken bottle because he is depressed about his situation. At the end of the book Ponyboy finds a letter that Johnny wrote to Ponyboy telling him to make sure that Dallas experiences the sunset and watches movies.

Answer 2

In "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, the novel concludes with Ponyboy writing an assignment for his English class about his experiences. He reflects on the loss of his friends, Johnny and Dally, but finds hope in trying to bridge the gap between the social divides that fuel the conflicts in the story. The book ends with Ponyboy coming to terms with the idea that people are more alike than they are different.
