Chapters 9 and 10
Survival- I saw survival in this chapter not necessarily because they all survived, but they all had a sort of war. It was all for survival. Some made it and survived, while others like Johnny and
Dallas/ Dally weren’t as fortunate to do so. Johnny died in order for others to live, while Dally died because he didn’t want to live after Johnny had died. Dally couldn’t handle his emotions because of his love, and that brought him to his end. Only the strongest in mind and body were able to survive this harsh world in which all of these kids live in. In their world it was basicly a do or die situation.
