The Outsiders - Johnny’s Death Scene (TRY NOT TO CRY)
Why is Dally so broken after Johnny's death?
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. Unable to cope, Dally robs a store and aims an unloaded gun at the police, and forces them to kill him.
Although Dally has a cold exterior, he has a soft spot for Johnny. 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.

Even though The Outsiders is fictional, the book is based in S.E. Hinton's hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hinton published the book in 1967 and the story takes place in the same time period. Though the book may feel like historical fiction for today's readers, it was a work of contemporary fiction when Hinton wrote it.
Johnnyboy. Johnny can count on his friends in his gang. But not on much else, besides having a crush on his best friend Ponyboy, who has no idea of Johnny's feelings. At least he knows what to expect when his friends have a different idea of what crushes should be like.

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."
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.
Dally is shot by police after robbing a grocery store with an unloaded gun. He is cornered by the police, and raises the gun at them. They shoot and kill him.
