Decent Essays
This book is about out siders writtin by S.E.Hinton.Dally is a savage here's some reasons why i think so.He is very brave and he is not scared of getting into a fight with the socs. He will fight right back if they come at him he's not like ponyboy at all. I also think dally fights for pride and to get his anger all out. Dally is brave for helping johnny and ponyboy out after johnny stabs the socs. He gave them dry cloths and some money he helped them so i think he is a savage for being brave and willing to fight for his friends.

Dally is also a savage because he is stronger than most of the gang he is buff and he wins most of his fights. During the rumble he was beating most of those kids up which is savage like. When he was at the movies

He said let's go beat these socs and when he gets there they walk up to the socs and he throws a nice punch into his face and knocks him right out and he was so cocky before the rumble and look he did what he said he would do so he's pretty savage for that. He talks like he the man if you watch the movie he always talks like he's the boss it's cool to be confident. Especially if you stick up for your gang and you show them to not be scared of the socs.

Hes dangerous he got himself killed by doing what he did he took a gun that wasn't loaded at pretended to shoot the cops. And the cops thought it was a real gun and shot him and his friends yelled he's just a kid and he died for not being very smart so that was a dangerous act and it gave him consequences. So now johnny and dally are dead dally died being stupid and johnny died trying to be a hero. He can get himself in dangerous situations but he seems to always get out of them somehow because he stays strong.

Dally is a good fighter he definitely is a good fighter because he wins all of his fight never once it tells him he loses a fight he's a good fighter. He fights with his gang and never loses when he's with his gang. Mainly because he ready to fight when ever because he has back up. And they always carry a switchblade just in case they need it. Dally never had to use his because he's a good
