A Comparison Of Johnny And Dally

What is a Hero? A hero is someone who has a heart. Someone who has a heart cares about someone or something so they feel the need to protect it. Being a hero doesn't simply mean being the good guy and destroying all the bad ones.

When Johnny was saving the kids from a fire Dally helped Johnny and he even got hurt doing it. He wanted Johnny to be safe, so much that it was almost as if Johnny was the reason he was breathing and living.

Johnny helped bring out some of the good in Dally so without Johnny he felt like there was no reason to live. Sadly after the death of Johnny Dally couldn't take it any more so he wanted to dies but he didn't want to do it suicidally. Dally died fearlessly. Heros usually die a fearless
