People are not always who they seem. Like for example, Darrel Curtis. He's a greaser but doesn't mean he's bad. Remember the saying, //Never Judge A Book By It's Cover!// Darry is six-foot two, broad-shouldered and muscular. He has dark brown hair, pale blue-green ice eyes, and is older than 20. He's tough, cool, smart, and is related to Ponyboy and Sodapop Curtis.

Darry now has all kinds of mixed emotions. His emotions go towards the gang, his brothers, his parents, and sometimes himself. Darry is mainly the alpha of the gang, he is always there for everyone, and is always in charge. Darry is always getting on Ponyboy about everything, and telling him, "You don't ever think, not at home or anywhere. Only when it counts!" But I'm pretty sure he just wants to get other things off his chest. His life isn't the best life he's wanted. But the only thing that's keeping Darry from being a Soc is the gang. The way he acts towards Pony and Soda is the complete opposite. He never says anything to Soda when it's a problem but when it's Pony, it's the complete opposite! Darry is just trying to make the best out of them so they don't have to end up in a boys home or end up like some other greaser in the streets lying around with no home or love. He really does care!

Darry is always trusting the gang to be with him or to take care of pony. He is like a father to all of them because he is the alpha. The gang is always following his orders and always taking care of pony for him when he goes to work with soda. Darry can trust the gang no matter what the odds are. Even if they get him or anyone else in trouble. The gang to Darry is like his brothers and family. They all stick with each other like a pack of wolves unlike the Socs do and just leave each other. When Darry is with both his brothers, he is really nice to both of them, like he treats them with respect, like equals. He is always telling them, "Your're both nuts!" He loves them very much.Soda doesn't like it when Darry and Pony fight. he also doesn't like taking sides either. Pony likes Soda more, but Darry doesn't look like he minds, but he does. Darry is always taking care of them and making sure their always safe and that Pony has a good education to get a scholarship to go to collage. He does care about Soda, but he doesn't show it when Pony's around. He loves them both, like equals, with respect and love the same way.

Darry is always protective for everyone. He is always saying "Carry a blade around the next time something like that happens to you" or "next time be smarter and take someone with you!" Darry is always looking out for everyone and making sure that he gets there to help fight a Soc when one of his gang members are getting hurt. Every greaser is always there for each other but Darry is always prepared. He never carries a blade but he is always ready to fight and break a Soc. Even if he never makes in time like for Johnny, he always tries to cheer them up by asking them, "they didn't hurt you to bad, did they?" Pony thinks that he only shows love and affection when it's serious. Either if Pony gets jumped or hurt really badly in emotion wise or really sad about his parents death. Darry truly loves Pony, but it's just when he messes up, Darry doesn't know how to deal with it except fight. Later on after he notices that Pony has gone threw a lot, he starts to understand and feels really bad. He told Pony that he never wants to fight again because that would ruin their friendship even more. He never wants to lose his two kids brothers ever again.

After Darry realizes how his emotions turn out in the end, he notices that hes been to worried about work and other little silly things that didn't matter in life. He notices that he has a really good and trustworthy caring family that will never leave his side. Though Johnny and Dally died he will always remember them, and they will always be in his heart in the family tree. Darry has became more aware and more open with everything that he does. Darry truly does care!
