Letter to Dalls

Dear Dallas (Dally),
You are the leader of the Greasers. People look up to you, which means you probably have a lot of things of your mind. I’m sure your scared because you don’t want to mess up on whatever your doing because then people won’t look up to you anymore. You must have a lot of stress on your mind. Even though you might be scared to mess up, in the end you always will learn from your mistakes. I wanted to say that I think that you are a good leader. I think this because you are wiser and can make better choices then other people can. For example, Johnny killed Bob. Even though he was doing it as self defense, I’m sure you wouldn’t have done that. But then again you also have a record with the police that go a long way back.
Was growing up on the streets of New York hard? I’m sure you got into a lot of fights considering your background with the police. How did you manage to get arrested at the age 10? I would have been in school or with my friends or family. I know that you don't really have a family besides the Geasers, from what I can tell your home life isn't the greatest. You like to consider the Geasers as your family because they are the closest thing that you have to a family. It's ok, I know how you feel. When I was little my dad got shot and died and my mom has problems so I moved in with my aunt and uncle. most of the time it's a joy living there but sometimes it's not so fun. So then I consider who is really my family. And I just say that my friends are because My friends are very important to me.
Anyways, I just wanted to say keep being the strong, fearless, smart leader that you are being today. Even though problems might pop up I'm sure you will do the best to help who ever might be in trouble. Maybe it will be Johnny and Ponyboy.
Sincerely, Kristie
