Darry plays the figure of a guardian and caretaker for both Ponyboy and Sodapop. Darry is so hard on Ponyboy because he just wants to keep Ponyboy out of trouble so he can be set on the right path. Soda tells Ponyboy, "You don't realize all Darry's giving up just to give you a chance he missed out on. He could have stuck you in a home somewhere and worked his way through college."

The roll that Darry play in the family is the worker that supports Ponyboy for school. Altough Darry isn't that smart he works for Ponyboys education. He is the oldest in the family and is hard on him because he had to give up school for him and he tries to take control.

Darry is the person that looks out for the family, that keeps them together and tries to give them everything he never had for them. He wants a better future for them and he wants them to keep on going. For example in page 173, "You're not going to drop out. Listen, with your brains and good grade you could get a scholarship, and we could put you through college."

By : Hank Barrington At first Darry was just an ordinary brother to Soda, and Pony but he became the parent to them.
He also wanted Pony to succeed and keep doing what he already was. A quote that supports this is when it says "You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want."

# data[].attributes.body
The role that Darry plays in his family is the parent. He plays as the parent more than the big brother. He is so hard on ponyboy because he wants to make sure that he gets the chance that he never had. On page 175 and 176 Sodapop says " You don't realize Darry's just giving up to give you a chance that he never had."

Darry is Soda's and Pony's brother. However, since Darry, Soda, and Pony lost their parents, Darry is like a parent to Soda and Pony providing them with food, shelter, and whatever is necessary. Darry wants to give Pony what he couldn't get; an opportunity to be better than he is. "Ponyboy, you don't think enough, you don't realize all Darry's giving up just to give you a chance he missed out on." (Hinton 175 & 176)

He is more of a father to Ponyboy and Soda rather than a brother, he gave up college to take care of them both and that's the reason why Darry is so hard on Ponyboy because he wants Ponyboy and Soda to accomplish what Darry wasn't able to accomplish.

The role that Darry Played is the Guardian or kind of the Parent. Darry was so hard on him because he want Ponyboy to have a chance in college and have a good future. He said that he wanted Ponyboy to go to college because Darry did not have a chance to. " Ponyboy. you  don't think enough, you realize all Darrys giving up is just to give you a chance he missed out on."

By Jacob Benedicto

Darry's role is basically the constantly sacrificing father. I call him sacrificing because he sacrificed a lot for Ponyboy to have a good education. Darry is hard on Ponyboy because he thinks that Ponyboy can see the way he sees and always wants him to be a better version to carry a legacy for the family. Some evidence is when Sodapop runs out suddenly after the two, Pony and Darry argued because Soda doesn't want them to keep fighting and getting no where. He just wants them to understand each other.

Darry's role is to be a big brother or a "dad". Darry is so hard on Ponyboy because "Ponyboy, I'm telling you the truth. I dropped out because I'm dumb." This means Darry wants Ponyboy to stay in school and go to college.

The sunset symbolizes that every human still sees the sun, either on the west side of Earth or the East or North or South, it's still the same sun and you still have a new chance to start over.

The sunset symbolizes peace In the moment considering the two conflicts between the greasers and the socs that they are both just ordinary people no matter how different they are from each other.

# data[].attributes.body
They use the sunset to symbolize being human. The reason why is because everyone can see a sunset no matter their stereotype. For example, both Pony and Cherry look at sunsets and their live very differently and are stereotyped differently. It shows that people are still people and not always what people call them. By: Jaden Reyes

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the sunset might symbolize there being peace in the moment because in the book there is a lot of violence going on between the Socs and the greasers and not much downtime and peace the two gangs are always fighting and not getting over thing for example the rumble between the Socs and greasers that was an all out brawl and maybe just looking at the sunset is peaceful to them.

S.E Hinton uses the sunset to symbolize that everyone still sees the sunset, no matter how different they are and no matter how far you are.  Hinton uses the sun to symbolize similarities and equal-ness to show that Greasers and Socs are all just human and stereotyped.

When Ponyboy was talking to Cherry, Ponyboy asked her if she can see the sunset from the West side and Cherry said that they are wonderful sunsets.

The author uses the symbolism of the sunset as something of hope as something not only ponyboy uses it for but he can imagine hundreds of other boys using the sunset as hope cause on page 179 he says that he can imagine other boys looking at the sunsets as a sense of hope and the fact that they all see the same thing. S.E Hinton uses this to explain to the reader that they all see the same sunset no matter where you are they all see the same thing.

I think this symbolizes that all humans no matter if there are a Soc or a Greaser will enjoy the same thing or the same interests.

Randy states "He kept trying to make someone say 'No' and they never did. They never did. That was what he wanted." (Hinton 116) Randy is stating that although Greasers and Socs may be different, they are similar. We all have problems and things we desire throughout life. "He ain't a Soc. He's just a guy." (Hinton 118) Ponyboy wants to convey the message that just because he has money doesn't mean he's like others.

We see stereotypes wrong in this story because on page 118 Ponyboy and Dallas have a conversation that starts with, "What'd he want?" Two-Bit asked "What'd Mr. Super Soc have to say?"
"He ain't a soc," Ponyboy said, "He's just a guy. He just wanted to talk." This interaction they have between each other states that not all socs are bad people that beat up others, sometimes stereotypes just aren't always correct.

"I picked up a kid, and he promptly bit me, but I leaned over the window and dropped him as gently I could." (Hinton 93).

But one thing they have in common is they are done with this fight.
