Darry slaps Ponyboy.
that darry did care about him
In contrast to this close loving relationship with Sodapop is Ponyboy's volatile relationship with his oldest brother, Darry. Pony and Darry are always at odds. Darry gets frustrated because Ponyboy "never thinks" and is always doing things that put the family's living arrangements at risk. Darry is the "father figure" since the death of the boy's parents. If they get into trouble the state agency will separate them. Darry is working two jobs to try to keep the family together and is hard on Ponyboy because he has to be. It isn't until the end of the novel that Ponyboy grows up enough to realize that Darry and he may not ever be close, but Darry really does love him.
Darry did it so Ponyboy, if he stayed in school and didn't get in trouble, would have a bright future and not end up like Dally does later in the book, and would live a productive life because he knew that Ponyboy had a gift.
Ponyboy and Darry always were disagreeing on things Pony did wrong and Ponyboy and Sodapop got a long because the get eachother.

Darry loves Ponyboy a lot, so that's why he's always pressuring him to get straight A's and succeed in his life. He doesn't want his little bro to end up like the rest of the friends in the gang:full of violence and breaking rules. He's always hollering at him and wants the best for pony.
Because Darry loves Pony and doesn't want him and Soda to be put in a boys home, but can only do so much to take care of him when Pony doesn't use his head, so he gets mad so Pony doesn't risk the boys home situation again. Also, Darry is a very stern guy, so it is hard for him to have a good relationship with Ponyboy, like Sodapop and Ponyboy do.
Ponyboy thinks that his oldest brother Darry is uncaring and cold at the begining of the book. Although at the end of the book Pony realizes that Darry really does care for him.
He can stay with them.
Darry loves Ponyboy because if he didn't, then he would have stuck Pony in a boy's home and worked through college with his football scholarship. But at the end of the book, Darry gets sorta mad at him because he feels that Pony lives in a vaccum and needs to cut it out. Darry really wants Pony to graduate and go to college since he wasn't able to and Soda dropped out.
What does Percy Realize about monsters at the end of the chapter
pony is really close to his older brother soda then he is to his oldest brother darry. He feels he can talk to soda about anything and not get a harsh or mean comment thrown back at him. At the beginning of the book Darry and Pony were not at all close, but by the end of the book they get kind of close, but not to close like what pony is with soda.
