What are the factors that led to Dally's notoriety in The Outsiders ?Write about his law breaking and his negative qualities.

Dallas Winston was the "bad boy" of the Greasers, feared
even by Darry. The other members treated him carefully, as he had a short fuse and a
long record stretching back to the age of ten when he was first arrested. Having spent
time in prison, just released as the story begins, his favorite way to let off steam is
fighting, especially gang fights. He survived three years in the gangs of New York City,
and, he owned a gun, something most of the Greasers did not. His smoking, drinking,
cursing, and crude way of dealing with girls rounds out his negative
image.


Despite this tough guy image, Dally had a soft
spot-Johnny-probably because of Johnny's abuse at the hands of his parents and his
quiet, inoffensive nature. Dally dies in a suicidal manner, after Johnny dies of the
burns he received rescuing two children from a fire.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
