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."

pony is really close to his older brother soda then he is to his oldest brother darry. He feels he can talk to soda about anything and not get a harsh or mean comment thrown back at him.

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.

What does darry mean when he says 'you don't just stop living because you lose someone?
When Darry says " you don't just stop living because you lose someone" I think that he means that when you loose someone you have to keep going on with your life, you can't end your life because someone you care for dies. Life just has to go on. This is what I think Darry means when he tells Ponyboy " you don't just stop living because you loose someone." --
What do you think johnny's last words to mean?
I personally think Johnny's last words "Stay gold Pony, stay gold." meant that he didn't want Ponyboy to change or to harden up like Dally or Darry. He wanted him to stay the way he was.
