Today you will receive back your "Argument Writing and the Outsiders" paper. Notice any notes and markings from the teacher and keep it.
Evidence: On page 20 in The Outsiders, it says, "but Dally hated to do things the legal way. He went around trying to break laws." Elaboration: Cherry should stay away from Dally because he is bad influence. People tend to act the way their friends act, so Dally could influence Cherry to become a law-breaker like him. Therefore, she would be wise to just stay away from him.
