The Outsider Dally Character Analysis

289 Words | 2 Pages

I chose to analyze Dallas Winston from S.E Hinton’s The Outsiders mainly because the change of this character was quite unexpected for me. Dally is a dynamic character that changes as the time flows in the story. Dally was described as a handsome guy with white-blonde hair, icy-blue eyes, elfish face, and ears like a lynx. He preferred to stay with his gang members rather than with his own family because his parents and Dally did not care about each other. He cares a lot about his gang members, as if they were his real family.
