Darry has to support and raise both his brothers, but more so Ponyboy. The Curtis parents died so to keep his family together Darry, dropped his future for the time being to take on raising Soda and Pony. As with any new parent who has not raised children and/or teens it is hard. Darry was put into a position that he did not ask for. Now he has to worry about his brother's safety and health, paying the bills on time, putting food on the table and etc... That is a lot of worries for one person to take on all at once especially a 20 year old. Basically the day the Curtis parents died is the day Darry took on all or most of those responsibility's and worries. Darry cares deeply for both his brothers, but he also has much on his plate. Ponyboy just does not realize at that time what Darry has to do and go through, but Soda does.
