Post 7: Dallas's Final Breath

After Johnny had died, Dallas lost his cool. He loved Johnny, he loved him so much. Now that he was dead, Dallas took the car and left to rob a grocery store. Dallas didn't want to live, he wanted to die because Johnny had died. Dallas and the rest of the gang met half way at the empty lot they always hung out on. Dallas ran to a stop light, now with the cops getting out of their cars to arrest him. Dallas didn't want to be arrested, he wanted to die. He pulled a gun from his belt to make the cops act. And sure enough, the cops shot him at that streetlight, dying before hitting the ground. Ponyboy didn't know what to do, now that two of his best friends and gangmates had died on the very same night. This scene really sends you questioning yourself. Why did Dallas want to rob that grocery store? Was he doing it for Johnny? I think this scene of the book makes you wonder what is at the end of the book to end it good?
