Dally hit Ponyboy across the back to snap him out of his daze after the traumatic experience of seeing Johnny die. It was Dally's way of showing tough love, trying to get Ponyboy to focus and not let his emotions overwhelm him. Dally, who often used aggression to express his feelings, believed that this physical jolt would help Ponyboy regain his composure.

Why did dally suddenly enter the burning building?

Dally enters the burning building because of Johnny. I'm not sure what part you're at but as you know Johnny idolizes Dally and I'm pretty sure Dally really cares about Johnny. After Ponyboy gets out of the church, Johnny gets hit with beam and Dally goes in to save him. Hope this helps!

How does johnny die in the hospital in the outsiders movie?

Johnny gets hurt in the outsiders by coming back to the church after going out to Dairy Queen. The church has caught on fire by accident, and some of the children from the picnic was in there, so with out thinking twice, Johnny and Ponyboy went in to get the kids. The kids were yeeted(thrown) out the window. Then, the roof started caving in, so Johnny pushed Ponyboy out and he was too late, and got hit by a flaming log thing.

I asked Dally about where you guys are but he didn't tell me anything about you guys. Come back soon the police were looking for you guys.


In the book outsiders why does pony-boy collapse?

im 99.9 percent sure ponyboy collapse's because he got kicked in the head by a soc in the rumble. Well if you're talking about right after Dally died, it was because of a minor concussion he got from being kicked in the head from the Soc in the rumble, shock because he had seen one friend die just a few hours ago (Johnny) and another friend who he had just seen being shot down and killed by the police (Dally), and plus he was also running a fever all day too so I'm sure that didn't help matters. But if you're talking about when he and Johnny were saving those kids from the fire it was because his back was on fire and when Dally hit him to put it out he accidentally hit Ponyboy too hard.
