Johnny is sort of the gang's pet. After Johnny's incident with those socs, johnny was very jumpy and Dally sort of brought him under his wing. This created a very pwerful bond between the two.

What is Dally's relationship with Johnny in The Outsiders?

johnny is like a younger version of dally and dally doesn't want johnny being like him so when johnny wants to turn himself into the cops then dally doesn't want him to because he said that jail toughens him up and he doesn't want johnny to toughen up because if he does he could make some of the same mistakes dally did when he was younger and grow up to be like dally. but dally doesn't want johnny to be like him when he grows up, dally is sort of a father figure for johnny and doesn't want johnny getting hurt. When the church was on fire, dally went to save johnny. Also he doesn't want Johnny to end up like him


Do you think Dally committed suicide in the outsiders why or why not?

Yes I think so because he did not want to suffer about what happened to johnny because johnny was the only person dally had as a family member.


Why doesn't Dally want Johnny to turn himself in?

Dally doesn't want Johnny to turn himself in because Dally cares about Johnny and he doesn't want Johnny to end up like him. Dally was in jail so he knows how bad it is and what it can do to you.


Why do you think Dally look sick when Johnny was beaten up by the socials in the outsiders?

Johnny represented innocence to Dally, who had lost his own innocence at a young age. Throughout the book Dally goes to great extents to protect the innocence in Johnny, and when Johnny finaly dies it causes Dally to snap and intentionaly get himself killed because he feels that all that was good and innocent in his life is lost along with Johnny. When Johnny is jumped and beaten by the socs it upsets Dally because he doesn't want to see Johnny become hardened to the world. The beating causes Johnny to become paranoid and carry a switchblade, evidence of the loss of innocence that Dally so strongly abhorrs.


In the book the outsiders what did johnny want the boys to get for him in the hospital?

a copy of gone with the wind
