chapter sIx (:

bewildered >> completly confussed, unaware, or puzzled.

Johnny and Ponyboy were bewildered that the church caught on fire and little kids were in there.


1. Do you think Dally's parents have influenced the way he is; his personality? Explain.
Yes i think it made a great impact of Dally because dally had no parents there when he was growing up. So he had to learn to do things on his own which madehim tough and stuff. Like nobody to tell him right from wrong.
2. Why doesn't Dally want Johnny to turn himself in?
Dally didnt want Johnny to turn himself in so he wouldnt become like him, jail made dallas tough and angry and Dallas didnt want Johnny to turn himself in so he wouldnt become like that.
3. What "other side" of Dallas is revealed in this chapter?
The soft side of dallas is revealed in this chapter when hes talking to Ponyboy and Johnny about his time in jail and what it was like. It was like Ponyboy and Johnny just met Dallas, they never say this caring side to him.
4. What's your own definition of a hero? Do the three boys prove themselves to be heroes, according to your definition? Explain.
I dont think a hero has super powers or is mega strong, but someone who is gallant and willing to sacrafice something for someone else. I do tink Johnny Ponyboy and Dallas proved themsleves to be heroes by going in the burning church to save a bunch of little kids not caring about themselves or there own health just so the kids would be safe.
Thats a true hero.
5. Why do you think Johnny wasn't scared, despite the obvious danger, on page 92?
I think Johnny wasnt scared because all he was thinking that he started the fire and he had to do someting about it, like get those kids out no matter what, because if something happened to them in the church and it burned down. Knowing kids die partially because of you, he wouldnt be able to live with the guilt.
