In contrast to this close loving relationship with Sodapop is Ponyboy's volatile relationship with his oldest brother, Darry. Pony and Darry are always at odds. Darry gets frustrated because Ponyboy "never thinks" and is always doing things that put the family's living arrangements at risk. Darry is the "father figure" since the death of the boy's parents. If they get into trouble the state agency will separate them. Darry is working two jobs to try to keep the family together and is hard on Ponyboy because he has to be. It isn't until the end of the novel that Ponyboy grows up enough to realize that Darry and he may not ever be close, but Darry really does love him.
