"And Johnny, who was the most law-abiding of us, now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade. He'd use it, too, if he ever got jumped again. They had scared him that much.

Two-Bit says that Dally, "deserves what he gets" if Tim Shepherd fights him because...

• Tim Shepherd is bigger than Two-Bit and Two-Bit is always teasing Tim.
• Tim Shepherd is not someone to mess with, and the greasers have a truce with him so Two-Bit shouldn't be messing with him.
• Dally slashed Tim's tires and got caught (which is the number one rule among the greasers), so he has to take the consequences. 
• Dally and Tim have fought before and Dally didn't fight fair.  So, Tim is liable to get revenge. 

If Tim Shepherd retaliates against Dally because Dally slashed his tires and got caught, this is an example of what type of text structure?

• cause/effect
• problem/solution
• sequence
• compare/contrast
