How has Dally’s character developed from the beginning of the book until now?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: BE SURE TO SWITCH THE WORDING!! TEACHERS CAN DETECT COPYWRITE.

1.  Dally had pulled the kids from the burning  church, and Dally had risked his life and risked going to jail in order to keep Pony and  Johnny safe. He made a difference by caring for his family.

2. Dally robbed the gas station and was running from the cops, he raised the gun he  had, knowing that the cops would think it was loaded. Since he lost Johnny, the only  person he really ever cared about, he had no reason to live. Dally wanted to die.  I haven't read the book in about 3 years so sorry I couldn't find text evidence just look back in the story  (T_T)

3. After Johnny's death and Dally's departure, Ponyboy wanders through the hospital's halls in a daze. Pony is in denial about Johnny's death, and keeps repeating that he isn't dead. He leaves the hospital and roams the streets until a stranger picks him up and drives him home.

Upon arriving home, Pony tells the rest of the gang about Johnny's death and everyone is silent. The phone rings and the call is from Dally. He says that he has just robbed a grocery store and he needs someplace to hideout. The gang members agree to meet at the vacant lot.
