Boo’s arrival seems to serve as a sense of justice in a time much deserving of it.…

    As much as they are alike they both have their many differences, especially when it comes to personalities. For example, Dallas is more of a stereotyped greaser because h is aggressive and tough. Even everybody in their gang tries their hardest to stay on Dally’s good side. Ponyboy says of Dally, “He was cold and hard and mean” (90).

    In order to classify a story as a fairy tale, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the story must be a tale containing actual fairies, an imaginable artificial story, or an absolute dishonest story. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are not novels about fairies or are completely false stories, but they do contain imaginable artificial plots in which a young girl named Alice travels to different worlds in her dreams. Through the creative adventure of these dream stories, one could vaguely qualify them as a fairy tale. Tolkien's perspective opposes the label of fairy tales to Alice stories by which he states that dream stories may be a fantasy of the mind, but lose their realization when Alice wakes up back in the real…
