Two-Bit means that Darry's responsibilities and commitment to taking care of his younger brothers, Ponyboy and Sodapop, is the only thing keeping him from being more like the wealthy, privileged "Soc" group. Darry sacrifices his own desires and opportunities in order to provide for his family, which sets him apart from the typical Soc lifestyle.

What did ponyboy mean when he said the only reason Darry couldn be a socs was?

If Darry didn't have to take on two jobs he could have gone to college. He works to support his brothers. He was a decent student in school, and great football player. Being a greaser means that your poor. If you go to college on a scholarship you're not viewed as the poor kid. He would have been the talented guy that made something of himself. If Darry went to college he could have gotten a career and had the money to consider himself a "soc."


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.

Why does Darry is so anxiousto join the rumble?

Darry was not really jealous per say. I think the only thing he was jealous about was because the socs have the easy life. Their parents are not only alive, but pay for their schooling such as college. Darry can not have that because he has to work two jobs and support his brothers. Darry had to give up dream of going to college so that why I think he is jealous. As for the ashamed part, Darry had to fight some of his old friends, who are socs. He was probably ashamed because he realizes he might have acted like a stuck up person like the socs when he hung out with them and played football with them. That all came to end when Darry's parents died. So basically Darry might have saw the way he acted before and he does not like what he sees.
