Yes , I think Darry loves Ponyboy because they are brothers . Darry treats Ponyboy the way he treats him because Darry is stressed because of his mothers and fathers death, and hes always has to look out for ponyboy and all the others in the gang. I think Darry don’t mean to ball and treat Ponyboy the way he do .

I think darry treats pony boy the way he does because he doesn’t want pony boy to do something that might ruin his life. He doesn’t want ponyboy to go through what he has in his life.

I think Dally loves Pony boy. But he just treats him the way he does because of what happened before. Because his parents died, and now everyone is depending on him to keep the house running, since he is the oldest. He is probably really stressed and frustrated and don’t know what do, and does stuff and don’t really mean it.

Yes I think that Darry loves Ponyboy because he is the youngest of the three and he looks out for him. Darry treats Ponyboy differently because he has let Sodapop fade off. He treats Ponyboy differently because he wants him to stay in school and to get a job, not to drop out and work in a gas station.

I think Darry acts the way he does because he wants ponyboy to be safe and he loves ponyboy so he don’t want to lose like he lost his parents. He don’t want anything to happen to ponyboy his rules are so strict because he don’t want those darn soces to get a piece of him.

Yes I think that Dally loves pony boy. I think Dally treats pony boy like the way he treats him because Dally is going through a lot since his mother and father died and I also think it’s because he is trying to show pony boy how to live his life.

Yes, I do think that Darry loves Ponyboy because they are brothers, and no matter how bad you treats them and how much you say you don’t like them; you always loves your sisters or brothers. Also I think the only reason Darry treats Ponyboy mean, is because he’s under a lot of stress because he had lost his parents a few months ago. And is taking it on Ponyboy!

Yes, I think that Darry loves Ponyboy because no matter how bad your life is you always have a brotherly connection to your brother. Darry has taken the death of his family in a very negative way. He believes that since his parents are dead he has to fill their role as Ponyboy’s caretaker. Darry is very hurt by his parent’s death and it all comes out negatively and violently onto his family.

Yes i do think Darry loves Ponyboy because if he never loved him he wouldnt of worried when he was gone and he wouldnt let him come with him and all of his friends if he didnt like Ponyboy. He treats Ponyboy the way he does because he loves him and he dont want him to get into trouble and Darry has to look out to him so he has to be mean sometimes.

Yes I think that Darry loves Ponyboy but Darry just has a weird way of showing it. I can tell that he loves Darry because he has a curfew for him and Darry doesn’t want Ponyboy to die like his parents did. Also Darry really likes Ponyboy but he doesn’t know how to express his feelings. Another reason that Darry doesn’t know how to express his is probably that he’s under a lot of stress because he has to look after a family, also he treats Sodapop different because he’s older and he can take care of himself.

Yes, I think that Darry loves Ponyboy because before his mother and father died Darry used to treat Ponyboy very good and they used to be great brothers and got along very good. But since that happened to Darry he has a lot of stress of working two jobs, making sure that his brothers and gang is okay, and running the family. He has been yelling at him a lot. Darry just doesn’t show affection to his brother but I think that he wants to but he is just too depressed and worried.

I think Darry does love Ponyboy, Darry treats Ponyboy the way he does because he doesn’t want Ponyboy to grow up being like him or Sodapop without an education, and he is also scared that something bad might happen to him like what happen to his parents , or that him and Sodapop will be send to a boys home.

Yes I think Darry loves Ponyboy because they are bothers and they are in the same gang so they have to look out for each other. Why he treats Ponyboy the way he does is because he has a lot to do every day and when he comes home he does not want to have to worry about someone not coming home.

Yes I think Darry loves PonyBoy. He should love him, just because he is his brother. Even before their parents died, Darry used to buddies. But after their parents died he used to treat him bad. He probably did that because where he has a lot of stress on him, since he is the oldest and he has to keep the house running. He also haves to look after his other brothers. I dong think that Darry don’t try to be mean to PonyBoy, its just he has too much stress on him.
