1. Do you think Dally's parents have influenced the way he is; his personality? Explain.
Yes I think Dally's parents have influenced the way he is and his personality because they didn't care much for him and so Dally doesn't much care for others [Ex. Since Dally's parents don't care for him, he doesn't care much for his buddies (Greasers)]

4. What's your own definition of a hero? Do the three boys prove themselves to be heroes, according to your definition? Explain.

My definition of a hero is someone who does what is right and doesn't think of themselves before someone else. Yes the three boys do prove themselves to be heroes according to my definition because when Ponyboy and Johnny ran into the burning church to save the children, they didn't think of what might happen to them if they ran into the church. Dally is also a hero according to my definition because when he helped save some of the children and put out the fire on Ponyboy's back, he also didn't think of what might happen to himself. The 3 of them did what was right to them so save the children.

5. Why do you think Johnny wasn't scared, despite the obvious danger, on page 92?
I think Johnny wasn't scared despite the obvious danger because he knew he was doing something good for the children. [Ex. "... but he grinned at me. He wasn't scared either."]

There are actually loads of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to deliver up. I provide the thoughts above as common inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you deliver up where the most important thing will probably be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if greatest practices have emerged round issues like that, however I am certain that your job is clearly identified as a good game. Both girls and boys really feel the affect of just a moment’s pleasure, for the remainder of their lives. online casino real money
