Why does dally want to fight in the rumble

Randy looks older than his age. Randy looks overdressed in his expensive clothes. Why does Pony beg Two-Bit not to tell Darry about him feeling sick?

Pony hates taking aspirin. Pony hates drinking water. Pony still wants to see the movie. Pony still wants to participate in the rumble.

What realization light bulb moment does Pony have about Cherry? Cherry thinks Pony and Johnny are the same. Cherry sees Soda and Darry the same way. Cherry sees Bob and Dally the same way. The most likely reason Darry was so hard on his brothers was because Their parents had died and Darry had to take on a lot of responsibility.

He was always bewildered and didn't really care about Ponyboy. He thought his brothers were defiant. He couldn't go to college because of them.

Cherry is different from the other Socs because. She does not judge Ponyboy and Johnny based on stereotypes. She actually tries to get to know Ponyboy. She tries to tell Ponyboy that both Greasers and Socs face problems. All the options are correct. Ponyboy says, "I don't care about Darry. But I was still lying and I knew it. I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me. Ponyboy is not very cunning. Ponyboy cares a lot about his brother and lies to try and make himself feel better.

Ponyboy does not understand why Darry hates him. Ponyboy needs to be more honest. The last sentences of Chapter 3 is, "Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn't get worse. I was wrong. The reason why Ponyboy was against cutting or bleaching his hair was because. For Ponyboy his long hair was symbolic of his identity.

His father had the same long hair. He thought he looked ugly with shorter hair. It was part of the gangster image. How can Ponyboy and Johnny be viewed as heroes? They saved their friends when he was jumped.

They saved the children on the burning bus. They saved the children from the church fire. They helped the old man on Jay mountain. The moment when Ponyboy sees his brother, Darry, crying is significant because It reveals that Darry has reached his breaking point.

It shows that Darry has more in common with Sodapop that what Ponyboy assumed. Ponyboy realizes that his brother cares for him. This is when everyone realizes how badly Darry has been hurt by the fire. Dally is in the hospital recovering from his injuries that he got when the church burned down.

Pony and Two-Bit also visit Dally, who is still in the hospital. He is his old self, and resents the fact that he will not be able to take part in the rumble that night. He asks Two-Bit for his black-handled switchblade and, upon receiving it, places it under his pillow.

Dally was sickened and he was more motivated to fight the Socs. He is aware that Pony has lost two of his friends and wants to see how he is holding up. Tim and the guy at the head of the Brumly gang come forward to shake hands with Pony and the rest of the guys in the gang. Pony wants to fight well because he thinks it will please Darry, who he knows is worried about the rumble. Pony thinks it shows a lack of education that the Brumly guys call a rumble "bop-action" He isn't sure if the Brumly guys use weapons or not.

He knows that the Shepard gang does. They use everything, from broken glass to even guns. When Pony sees Darry moving toward Tim and the Brumly leader, he begins to think that none of the guys in his gang should be there, fighting like hoods in the night.

He's afraid he and his gang will end up hoods. Very soon, four cars, carrying twenty-one Socs, arrive at the lot. The twenty Greasers line up side-by-side, facing the line of Socs lining up in front of them.

A Soc confirms with the Greasers that there will be fists only, no weapons. To start the rumble, Darry issues a general challenge to any Soc. His old high school football buddy, Paul Holden, rises to meet his challenge, and the two begin to face off.

Pony can "feel their hatred" 9. Pony has stopped hating the Socs, and wants Socs and Greasers to all stop despising each other. All the sudden a voice calls for the rumblers to wait. It's Dallas Winston, fresh out of the hospital. Now they can get down to the business of rumbling. Pony finds a kid about his size and starts fighting. As he fights, Pony asks Dally how he got out of the hospital. Apparently, Dally threatened a nurse with the knife he got from Two-Bit and she let him out.

The Soc that Pony was fighting gets him down on the ground and is punching him hard, over and over. Darry gets rid off the guy, since the guy's heavier than Pony. In turn, Pony goes over to help Dally. He jumps on the Soc who's fighting Dally. The Soc throws him off, but Pony gets back on, choking the Soc. Another Soc is kicking him, but Pony doesn't let go. All of a sudden, he hears someone yell, "They're running! It's true—the Socs are running to their cars and driving away.

The Greasers won! They're busted up, but definitely victorious. Dally is on the move. He has to see Johnny, because Johnny was doing poorly when Dally left him at the hospital to come to the rumble.
