The policemen kill Dally. After Johnny dies in the hospital, Dally is so upset, he runs away from Ponyboy and robs a grocery store. The police chase him to the empty lot where the greasers hang out. There, Dally takes out his unloaded gun and threatens the police, who shoot him in self-defense.

Dally's death forces readers to take another serious look at themes that are vital to understanding the novel. One important theme is the evolution of family relationships. In this chapter, Pony is concerned that he may have only called for Soda, not for Darry, while he was sick and barely conscious.
Pony and Johnny are outnumbered, and the Socs grab Ponyboy and shove him face first into the fountain, holding his head under the water. Realizing that Ponyboy is drowning, Johnny panics, pulls his switchblade, and kills the Soc, Bob.

Ponyboy explains that Dally does not love anyone except for Johnny. As soon as Johnny comes to him for help, he immediately concocts a plan to help protect him. Johnny is also the only other Greaser who Dally listens to, and he does not react angrily when Johnny stands up to him.
According to Ponyboy, Dally died because, “Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted” (154). Ponyboy fainted in the vacant lot because of the gash he got on his head during the rumble and the shock of seeing two of his friend die.
In The Outsiders, Dally wants to die because Johnny, the only person he truly loves, has died. Early in the text, Ponyboy describes Dally's life, explaining that he really has no family who cares for him.
No, Sodapop did not get Sandy pregnant in The Outsiders. After Sandy tells him that the baby isn't his, Soda offers to marry her anyway, a testament to his love for her and to his honorable character.

Johnny and Ponyboy fled, but were caught near a fountain. Johnny was pushed to the ground, and then the Socs dunked Ponyboy multiple times in the fountain, and he almost drowned. Johnny then pulled out his knife and stabbed Bob, killing him.
Sandy was pregnant, and her parents did not want her to marry Sodapop. They sent her to live with her grandmother, to keep her away from Sodapop and so she could have the baby in Florida. With Sandy's pregnancy, The Outsiders highlights Sodapop's sensitivity.
Dally is a criminal who did many bad things, and had gone to jail many times. Dally has been involved in many gang related crimes. He lied, he cheated, and he stole. He also went to rodeos and rumbles.

Who does Ponyboy insist killed Bob and why does he do this? Ponyboy insists he killed Bob, it's his way to trick himself to believing Johnny is not dead.
It was self-defense, and Johnny was the one who killed Bob. Pony denies this, saying he is the one who killed Bob, not Johnny. Randy tells Pony he saw what happened and Pony's dead friend is the one who killed the Soc boy.
Johnny knew his parents didn't care about him, but Dally almost took it upon himself to be a surrogate father to him. After Johnny's death, Dally doesn't know how to live anymore. He cared for Johnny more than the rest of his family with the Greasers.
She finds herself attracted to Dally, who is crass and unrefined but also sexy and charismatic. Despite all her attraction to the greasers, moreover, she is not completely free of group prejudice. She tells Ponyboy that she probably won't say hello to him at school, acknowledging that she respects social divisions.
Ponyboy realizes this truth after Johnny's death. When he tries to make sense of Dally's reaction to Johnny's death, it dawns on him, "Johnny was the only thing that Dally loved."
In this chapter, Johnny Cade kills Bob, the leader of the Socs. The two Greasers named Ponyboy and Johnny had gotten into a confrontation with the two Soc boys, Bob and Randy, because they had hit on the Soc's girlfriends. Ponyboy and Johnny live troubled lives.
