The book was very informative of life when racism was more apparent. I think that books like this show that standing up to racism is an option. It shows that even children of a younger age were involved in the situation.
Dally helped the gang throughout the book and in doing so he was
Dally appears tough on the outside, but he is really gallant and compassionate. To begin, Dally seems tough on the outside, as described by Ponyboy. At the beginning of the book, Ponyboy describes each of the members of the gang. When Pony gets to Dally he talks about how Dally is more wild and more like hoods.
1. What are the 3 principles of judicial review established by the Marbury v. Madison decision? How can this be connected to nationalism? Extra credit- How can this be connected to recent events? -The 3 principles of judicial review established by the Marbury v. Madison: 1.
Sectionalism The definition of the word sectionalism is the restriction of interest to a narrow sphere. There were 3 main sections that practiced sectionalism in the 1800s. These sections were the North, the South, and the West. A few events that created sectional conflict were tariffs, slavery, representation, and states rights.
Sectionalism in the United States “A house divided against itself cannot stand”, said the president Abraham Lincoln. His words did not come out of nothing, but of the events happening in his lands during his term. One of the most efficacious episode in the history of the United States was the Civil War of 1861. As the 1800s went by, Nationalism seemed to emerge triumphant, meaning stronger sectional rivalries developed between two sections of the U.S. Historians conclude that the division between the North, known as the Free State, and the South, the slave states, had been adding up since the beginning of the eighteenth century, starting with small differences among the citizens.
Dally is extremely brave to do all of these acts of courage. In conclusion, Dally is an exquisite role model that contains many qualities that an excellent role model would have. Some of these are bravery, confidence, and leadership. He is like a leader of a pack. He risks his life every day for each of us.
Helpful because he helped Johnny and Pony get out of town. He is a troublemaker because he asked for Two-Bit’s switchblade to get out of the hospital to fight. First, Dally is brave. He is brave because when the
This book was interesting for me because it allowed me to relate to a character. I love reading novels that not only allow me to feel a connection with a character, but allow me to relate to their personality or
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and an edgy storyline. This book had my emotions in an uproar with it’s constant plot twists and turns. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn’t mind losing a main character or two, and is okay with feeling drained after the chapters. The book makes you think what our world would be like if we could hear everyone’s thoughts and how we would have to adapt to the new
He seems to have no emotions, and as it said on page , Dally can take any amount of punishment. “ Dally had spent three years on the wild side of New York and had been arrested at the age of ten. He was tougher than the rest of us……..” (Hinton, 10) . “He had quite a reputation.
This was a hard book to read, sure I like the author’s writing style. But the way the story went is something else. The book was depressing, a lot of bad stuff happening, one after another. Then Dante the character I really grew to love, got the short end of the stick. Not only does he get pushed away for another man, but he had a tragic ending.
Dally is not strong mentally (when he couldn’t let Johnny go), he really does not do good deeds, and he does not care about any other people than only Johnny, and he’s rude to others and bad at using words. A quotation that supports my statement is, “What for? Get back in here before I beat your head in.” (p.90) This quotation supports my statement because Dally said this to Ponyboy when he hopped off the car and said to see what the deal is when he saw the old church on fire, it proves that Dally does not care about other stuff that does not involve him and that he’s rude to others and using
Going off of this, the way Collins explained the characters was another reason I loved this book. It almost felt as if I knew them in real life. Collins also explained the districts in a way that pulled me in. The inequality between the districts amazed me and made me want to read even more to find out why this was present. Overall,
I thought this book was intense and a suspicious read. I never knew really what was going to happen next with the “secret doors” and where they could take you. The dystopian refugee story was a hook and I thought it was political and fun story to read with some romance. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys an easy read with a big plot.
