Compare and contrast the curtis brothers darry sodapop and ponyboy how does their relationship change over the course of the novel?

Darry is a tough hard-working guy, who stands as the father of the ''family'' since their parents passed away. Sodapop is the care-free one of the family, while Ponyboy is the smart one who gets good grades. All three care about each other, and are considered good-looking. Ponyboy was originally not too fond of Darry since he treats Ponyboy like a child, but when Ponyboy returned home after running away for a week, he learns that Darry cares deeply about him. Sodapop, after he lost his girlfriend Sandy, became alittle more to himself.
