””(90) Although Dally is cold hearted towards others, he cares about Johnny, who is different than the other greasers because, unlike them, is sensitive and quiet. Ponyboy says, “He was sensitive and that isn’t a good way to be when you’re a greaser.”(88) It is not good to be sensitive when you are a greaser because there are lots of hardships, and emotions can take a toll on people. After getting beat up by the socs, Johnny even more skittish and nervous then he was before.
The chapters 1-5 of the Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, is about two gangs the greasers and the Socs, who are always causing trouble. In the greaser gang, the protagonist, Ponyboy, is always getting good grades and is the smartest in the gang. Dally is one of the members in the gang, Ponyboy 's brother, has been in jail multiple times. Sodapop is also Ponyboy’s brother. He works at a gas station.
This shows that Dally doesn’t give a care about anyone else, and he does what he wants. Dally is very tough and doesn’t really have emotions. He also thinks it is fun to commit different crimes. This is very evident when Johnny is describing killing Bob and then Dally says, “ ‘Good for you’ when Johnny told how he knifed the Soc.” (pg. 59) After Johnny and Ponyboy saved the kids from the burning church and the greasers beat the Socs, Johnny dies and Dally is enraged.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines loyalty as faithfulness to a private person to whom faithfulness is due. Loyalty is a concept shown throughout The Outsiders up to this point. In a gang, you are expected to be loyal until death. In Chapter 2 it is said that, "When you're a gang, you stick up for the members.
