Part 3: Opinion Question A /10 C /5

“Dally raised the gun, and I thought: You blasted fool. They don't know you're only bluffing.
And even as the policemen's guns spit fire into the night, I knew that was what Dally wanted. He
was jerked half around by the impact of the bullets, then slowly crumpled with a look of grim
triumph on his face. He was dead before he hit the ground. But I knew that was what he wanted,
even as the lot echoed with the cracks of shots, even as I begged silently--- Please, not him... not
him and Johnny both ---I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and
he always got what he wanted.” (131)

What do you think of Dally’s death? Do you think Dally killed himself on purpose just like Pony
says? How did this change Pony and the group?
