Darry+(Darryl)

Darry is sodapop's and Ponyboy's brother. He is about 20 years old. Since their parents died, he is like a single parent. He works really hard. Darry has a lot of pressure on him because he is supporting all three of them. Darry is really smart and could've gone to college, but since their parents are dead, he couldn't. Darry paid a big sacrifice. He could've put Ponyboy in a boys orphanage, and then he would have been able to go to college. He decided they should stick together so he gave up basicly his life and dreams. Soda was a dropout and Darry doesn't want Ponyboy to become one. He pushes him to do a good job in school and to keep his grades up. Sometimes, he puts too much pressure on Ponyboy, but he doesn't really notice. He is just trying to raise a good kid by himself. He is bringing him up the best way he knows how. He really loves Sodapop and Ponyboy, but stress and worry can sometimes get in the way.
