The Outsiders Read Aloud
RetroMann96 for Dallas Winston
Dallas was hardened from a tough upbringing. He spent three years on the wild side of New York and was arrested at the young age of ten. Dallas was also treated poorly by his father which contributed to his toughness. He says to Johnny at one point "My old man doesn't give a hang if I'm in jail dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter," He is mean to many people such as Cherry, but it is shown he cares for his gang and treats them like family. For example, he told Johnny "Now that I'm out (of prison), I'm gonna make it my business to get the guy who did that to your face." -The Outsiders Wiki Page

"You ever pull a stunt like that again, I'll kill you."
"You think my old man gives a hang if I'm dead in a car wreck or drunk or in jail or something, he doesn't care but that doesn't bother me."
