In _ Words
Author's Note: Basically, the idea of this is that Dally and Johnny are each summed up in a certain number of words, sometimes only phrases, sometimes full sentences. Sometimes they're being described, sometimes it's quotes from or about them, and sometimes it's what they believe (or what I think they do.) Please tell me what you think of this idea and of how I did it.
When I wrote this, I tried to really study the characters, so hopefully these make sense to people other than myself.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Outsiders or any of the characters (but that does not stop me from obsessing!)
