When they were reading Gone with the Wind , Johnny points out that the characters in the novel remind him of Dally. Johnny feels that Dally is so real. He thinks that Dally is just like his big brother because Dally was always there for johnny. Dally always kept him away from troubles because he cares for Johnny. In Dally's world, Johnny is the only person that he cares for. He doesn't want Johnny to be cold-hearted and mean like himself. So Johnny feels that Dally is just like his big brother.
(one of my fav book) :) :)
In Chapter 5 of 'The Outsiders', Johnny has conflicting feelings about Dally. He initially feels grateful for Dally saving him and Ponyboy, but later becomes disillusioned with his reckless behavior. ;
In Chapter 5 of "The Outsiders," Johnny views Dally as a protective figure and likens him to a big brother. He admires Dally's strength and feels that Dally genuinely cares for him. This bond signifies a deep affection, though Johnny wishes for Dally to find goodness in life despite his hardships.
