Darry slapped Ponyboy during an arguement. Ponyboy had fallen asleep in the vacant lot with Johnny and hadn't gotten home until 2 AM. Soda tried to stick up for Ponyboy and Darry yelled at Soda. When Ponyboy raised his voice to his oldest brother, Darry hit him. Darry was not really angry at Pony...he was just scared that something had happened to him and was upset that Pony had done something as careless as fall asleep in the lot.

Darry hits Ponyboy because it was late and Pony was not home, Darry and Soda-pop were both worried and wondered where Ponyboy could be at that time...Then when Ponyboy came back Darry was upset and slaped Ponyboy but he didn't really mean it...

Ponyboy came home at 2:00 in the morning after falling asleep in the vacant lot with Johnny (2 hours after his curfew on non-school nights). Darry had no idea were he was at and that scared the living crap out of Darry. So Darry yelled because the fear of something bad might have happened to Ponyboy and he just let his anger out when he saw that pony was alright.

I believe Darry hit Ponyboy because they had gotten into a heated argument because Pony had gotten home late after falling asleep in the vacant lot with Johnny.

I think Darry did hit Ponyboy from Outsider because he was under a lot of pressure of taking care of him.

How does darry discipline ponyboy?

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.
