The symbolism is shown through Bob's rings. For Johnny, the three rings on Bob´s finger symbolizes fear. Johnny saw these rings right after he got passed out when Bob and three others came out of a blue Mustang and jumped him. The rings show Johnny´s fear of the Socs. ¨They had caught him and one of them had a lot of rings on his hand - that's what had cut Johnny up so badly. It wasn't that they had beaten him half to death - he could take that. They had scared him¨ (33). The symbolism in this story is Bob´s rings, and the rings represent fear

He is ¨The Hotshot¨ because he was never really the main hero but he took many risks and was arrogant which suits Dally perfectly. Dally risked his life to save Johnny, who was still in the church. ¨´He burned one arm pretty badly, though, trying to drag the other kid out the window´¨(95). Dally is the hotshot because he took risks but was never the main hero.

He is the ¨Tragic Hero¨ in this story because when he and Ponyboy went in the church to save the kids, a beam landed on him and he died in the hospital because of it. ¨´Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold...´ The pillow seemed to sink in a little, and Johnny died¨ (148). This is sad because he never had a good life and if he kept living, he might of had a better experience

Here were our results for the personality test. Strength of individual traits: Extraverted: 76%, Observant: 74%, Thinking: 82%, Prospecting: 93%, Assertive: 66%. I definitely understand why he is prospecting. He was looking to future to think if Johnny will turn out to be like him like he thinks or if he will be different. Thinking makes sense too because I know when Johnny was dying he was thinking and worrying if he was going to be okay. Also when the church was burning down he was thinking not for himself but for Johnny’s sake and Ponyboy’s safety too. (Event)¨For Pete's sake, get outta there! That roofs gonna cave in any minute¨ (93). Extraverted makes sense as well because the definition is being concerned with the social of physical environment. That fits Dally perfectly. He he liked fights and girls which fits with the social part. When he was chatting with Cherry at the movie theater.(Event)

Dally is a tiger. Dally comes to the fight not knowing what to do, but relying on instincts. Dally is a tiger because he always moving and is always protective of his cubs (gang(especially Johnny)). He is also very competitive, strong, and he is always doing something. A very adventurous person who likes to impress  and get respect from girls. Nothing can stop him no matter what and is an outgoing person. He is always eager to chase and annoy people. At the rumble, Dally showed up right before it started and said ¨Don't you know a rumble ain't a rumble without me in it¨(144). Dally is a tiger because he is protective, fiesty, and adventurous.

Dally´s flaw is not following the law. He goes to jail a lot and is given a bad reputation for doing things wrong. He could have his life turned around and not be living in a dump. This is shown why Dally gives Ponyboy a loaded gun which is against the law. He could be taken to jail for doing something like that. “he handed us a gun and a roll of bills.The gun’s loaded” (61). If Dally had  followed the law he would have been able to turn his life around.

Dally’s flaw is not following the law. He could have completely flipped his life around but because he doesn’t follow the law he sinks lower and lower. The more time Dally spends in jail the worse he gets. “Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten” (10). Again, Dally could have turned his life around if he had stayed out of jail and followed that law.
