Which quote from the novel describes the characters Ponyboy?

Ponyboy is introspective and articulate. He can see Dally's death in different terms. I like this quote because it shows Ponyboy as both rational and empathetic.

Dally didn’t die a hero. He died violent and young and desperate, just like we all knew he’d die someday…But Johnny was right. He died gallant.

Please ask for each character one at a time. Thanks!
