Characters+Analysis+NS15


 * In the story of //The Outsider,// by S.E. Hinton, it was not just about Greasers vs. Socs. It was about family and trust. Ponyboy Curtis was an orphan greasers(14) living with his two brothers, Sodapop (Soda,sixteen- going- on- seventeen), and Darrel(Darry, 20 or older). Each of these brothers have different characters trait and different opinions. Ponyboy, Soda, and Darry live in the poor east side of one of Oklahoma's city. Their gang that include Dallas Winston (Dally), Keith Matthews (Two-Bits), Steve Randle, and Johnny Cade. This gang was the toughest gang and only have one rival, the Socs. The rich, handsome, vicious gang who like to jump and beat the greasers. The person from this gang that I want to talk about is Darrel( Darry). In the story Darry was cold as ice but when he heard the Pony is in the hospital, he was scared and worry. I realize that Darry has a heart at his brother.**


 * Darry has three major characters: Caring, Responsible, and Strong**


 * One character trait of Darry is Caring for other. At first, he was cold and mean but he has a caring heart. He was worried about Pony when he ran away after Darry slap him hard. He was also worried about Soda when Soda burst out of the house after Pony and Darry was arguing. On pg. 98, Darry said, " Pony, I thought we'd lost you ... like we did Mom and Dad ... ." What this quote mean is that Darry's fear was losing another person he love. Darry has a heart after all.**


 * His second character trait was responsibility. In the story, Darry did not to school at all but all he do is work. He work all day and never have time to go to school. On pg. 16, Pony said, "He did not have time between jobs to go to school." Which mean that he did not go to school to learn but he go to work in order to keep the family safe and healthy. He wish to go but when his parent died from the crash, it was his responsibility to take care of the family and is the head of the Curtis Family.**


 * His third character trait was the he was strong. After his parent died from the crash, Darry need to be strong to help his family from dangers. He help his gang in the rumble to stop the Socs from letting them take over the Greasers. On pg 16, Pony talk of how he do with his muscles. " Darry is always pulling muscles and every time when he take of his shirt, he show of his muscles." But Darry did not want to be strong in order to get popularity. He want to be strong to stood up his right and to help his family. He help his family whenever they get hurt.**


 * Darry's majors characters trait(see above) shows how he care about family and friends only. It not about how you are rich or how good you look but it's about taking care of your family for the cause. Darry was cold and mean but he has a heart to help his family and friends survive as greasers.**
