He always wants to give him the life he wanted but couldn’t have one way to make sure of that is that Darry always makes sure Pony gets good grades by checking his homework.

At the end of the book Ponyboy finally comes to terms with the deaths of Johnny and Dally, and he finally realizes that violence is not the answer when he makes up with Darry. Darry and Ponyboy are shouting at each other, and Ponyboy asks Sodapop to take his side. This causes Sodapop to rush out of the house, and Ponyboy and Darry chase after him. When they finally catch up Sodapop tells them he feels sick of being pulled apart by their fights. Ponyboy sympathizes with Sodapop as he says in the text: “Darry and I did play tug of war with him, with never a thought to how much it was hurting him.” Ponyboy suddenly understands what his fighting with Darry has done to Sodapop, and later in their conversation Ponyboy realizes why he never got along with Darry: “I saw that I had expected Darry to do all the understanding without even trying to

Secondly, Ponyboy did not get sick, resulting no conversation or any connection with Ponyboy and Darry. In the book, the conversation helped Ponyboy and Darry get closer, and helped form a better relationship between the two brothers. The film included Ponyboy being sick, but not to the point where Darry was worried sick and wanted to talk to Pony. The cutting of this moment was not needed, because from the movie's point of view, it shows that Darry and Ponyboy have no bonding moments, but in the book Ponyboy and Darry have this kind of brother relationship without

At the end of Chapter 1, Ponyboy says “I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.” but before that, he stated that he didn’t care that Darry didn’t love him and that Darry thought Ponyboy was a burden and someone that he could yell at. Ponyboy said that he didn’t care about Darry at all but he often lied to himself. What Ponyboy means is that he does care about Darry but he just can’t accept the fact. However, the reason why he does it could be a variety of factors and reasons. It may be because he is too prideful or arrogant to admit it to himself. Perhaps he is just trying to save himself from the pain of unreciprocated feelings that Darry seems to give out. Maybe Ponyboy is trying to get back at Darry by trying to convince himself

The book, and the movie, “the Outsiders” is about a conflict between greasers and socs. Up until the point where Johnny kills a soc, there are mostly only small fights and arguments between the two. The story “the Outsiders” takes place in the 1960’s, when there were two main lifestyles. Greasers and Socs. Greasers are known for greasing their hair. Socs are rich kids who have good clothes, drive mustangs, and always have an argument against the greasers. The main character in S. E. Hinton’s book “the Outsiders” is Ponyboy Curtis. He has two older brothers Darry and Soda. Pony is 14 years old and his best friend, Johnny, is 16 years old. S. E. Hinton wrote “the Outsiders” when she was 17 years old. Her book was published in 1967. The

Correspondingly, Darry wants the most suiting life for his brothers even though Ponyboy viewed it as Darry nagging at him. In the book, Ponyboy says, “Darry did care about me, maybe as much as he cared about Soda, and because he cared he was trying too hard to make something of me.” ( Hinton 98) The Curtis brothers were all together again following Pony and Johnny running away. Soda and Darry go to the hospital to see Pony and Darry actually cries. Ponyboy realizes that Darry does not hate him. Darry says, “Listen, with your brains and grades you could get a scholarship, and we could put you through

This is part of his emotional journey. Ponyboy believes Darry only cares about himself. “Darry thinks his life is enough without inspecting other’s” (Hinton 3). This probably hurts Ponyboy.

Ponyboy’s time is when his best friend, Johnny, dies. He doesn’t want it to be true, so he convinces himself that Johnny’s death never happened. He never wants to fight again. He can’t understand why the greasers seem to have more hardships than their enemies, the Socs, even if he sometimes sees the two groups as equals. His thoughts were in conflict, and he wasn’t ‘alive’, so to speak. Ponyboy and his oldest brother, Darry, would often fight with each other, dragging Sodapop in as the middleman. Eventually, one of these fights goes too far, and Soda runs off. His two siblings chase after him, only to realize that their arguments have been tearing their brother apart inside. Soda tells them that “…it’s bad enough having to listen to it, but when you try getting me to take sides… (Hinton, pg. 176)” Darry and Pony can’t stand to see him like this, and agree to never fight again. Darry is, at just twenty years old, Sodapop and Ponyboy’s guardian. He had been ever since their parents died eight months before “The Outsiders” takes place. At the funeral, Darry did not cry. However, Ponyboy discovers that this was exactly what Darry was doing when Pony returns home after running away. This goes to show how much Darry really needs Ponyboy, despite his constant yelling. In the week of his youngest brother’s absence, Darry doesn’t stop worrying. Also, as Two-Bit said, “…the only thing that

By the end of chapter 6, I realized Darry truly cares about Ponyboy. Ponyboy said,“Suddenly I realized, horrified,

In the novel, Darry always is worried about what time ponyboy came home and where he went. In the beginning, Ponyboy went out with Dally

You can tell in the book Darry makes Ponyboy take school seriously and makes sure that he is safe. I also think that Soda dropped out because he did not have anyone to help him go through that time, were I think his dad could have him see the bigger picture of staying in school and how it would have changed the entire outlook of the story. I think even though his father is dead I think Ponyboy doesn’t realize it but I think Darry did a good job being the father figure for Ponyboy. Ponyboy thinks that Darry does not love him which is typical for teens but in reality Darry loves him and is only hard on to make him a better person and make better

Darry is caring, but he doesn’t like to show it very much. Throughout the whole book Ponyboy believes the Darry doesn’t love him. To be a Greaser you have to act tough or you will be beaten up. After the killing of Bob, Ponyboy and Johnny ran away to a church without telling anybody other than Dally. “Darry hasn’t got the slightest notion where you’re at and it’s nearly killing

Ponyboy has two brothers, Darry and Soda.They are Ponyboys family.After Ponyboy's parents died Darry has to take on the role of a parent and take care of his brother. Soda and Ponyboy have a very good relationship and are very close.

Darry has assumed the responsibility of guardianship for Ponyboy and Sodapop, since the death of their parents. He no longer sees them as siblings, but rather as responsibility. Ponyboy, Sodapop, and Darry have unconditional love for each other. They give each other support, love, care, and nurture each other. They had their ups and downs, comparable to a blood family.
