Should Brothers Be Separated

534 Words3 Pages
Should the brothers be separated because they have no mom or dad, even though they try so hard to stay together? The people in the system are wanting to separate the Curtis boys. I think that even though they have no parents, to me the brothers should stay together like all families should. Darry is always looking out for his brothers and making sure that they are taken care of. “Darry would beat him to death for giving us the money and the gun and getting us out of town” (Hinton, 61). What this shows is that Darry would beat up Dally if he got found out that Dally got Ponyboy and Johnny out of town with money and a gun, which means that all he is doing is sticking up for his brothers.He doesn’t want them to get into any trouble or run away.

He was always looking for trouble and was not interested in anybody's feelings like in this instance “ [Dally] put his feet up on the redheads chair, winked at [Ponyboy] and beat his own record for saying something dirty. ”(p 87).

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
