Darry is upset with Ponyboy because Ponyboy has the chance to be and do something with his life, but Ponyboy is not listening and wasting his talents. Ponyboy is a bright kid, but he does not use his head half the time and that is why Darry gets so mad and upset with him.
His brothers Darry and Soda get worried that he is out past his curfew and Darry got mad at Ponyboy and hit him after Soda was sticking up for Ponyboy and then Darry started to yell at Soda and then Ponyboy started yelling at Darry for yelling at Soda and after that was when Darry hit Ponyboy.
Oh, dude, after the fire, Darry tells Ponyboy that he's a "hood," which is like slang for a troublemaker or a delinquent. Darry is just looking out for Ponyboy, like a big brother should, trying to keep him on the straight and narrow. So yeah, basically, Darry's just dropping some truth bombs on Ponyboy to keep him in line.
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.
When Ponyboy comes home late from sleeping in the lot after the movie with Johnny Darry hits Ponyboy in the face. Then Ponyboy runs away. Also, they always fight about how Ponyboy doesn't use his head. One time Sodapop gets affected by their fighting and runs away!

Ponyboy and Darry always were disagreeing on things Pony did wrong and Ponyboy and Sodapop got a long because the get eachother.
i think that ponyboy feels a little awkward and scared by tthe socs because he starts to walk fast and eventually gets threatened to be killed and gets jumped over.
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.
Darry gets really upset with Ponyboy when he returns after his curfew. After saying that he fell asleep in the empty lot, Darry hits him for not thinking straight. This is when Ponyboy decides to run away so he finds Johnny Cade and they run to the park. This event leads up tho the moment when the Socs come and attack Ponyboy and Johnny in the park, which leads to Johnny killing Bob (a drunk soc) and the two running away to Windrixville.
Darry loves Ponyboy because if he didn't, then he would have stuck Pony in a boy's home and worked through college with his football scholarship. But at the end of the book, Darry gets sorta mad at him because he feels that Pony lives in a vaccum and needs to cut it out. Darry really wants Pony to graduate and go to college since he wasn't able to and Soda dropped out.
If you are asking about the time Darry reacted when Ponyboy came home after falling asleep in the empty lot. Then your answer is that Darry acted out of fear and anger. He shoved Ponyboy, thus making Ponyboy flee. If you are asking about the time he came home after the rumble and from the hospital. Then Darry acted out in concern because he saw from Ponyboy's expression that something bad had happened.
