At the end of Chapter 1, Sodapop and Ponyboy are about to go to sleep when Sodapop tells Pony that Darry loves him a lot. Soda says to Pony that simply because Darry yells at him it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about him. Soda then says that Darry grew up too quickly and urges Ponyboy not to take him too seriously. Pony then begins to think about Sodapop's comments about Darry. Pony mentions that he didn't quite understand what Sodapop meant about Darry. Pony feels like Darry only views him as another mouth to feed. Pony then mentions that he thinks Soda is wrong and feels like Darry doesn't care about anyone or anything, except Soda. Pony then tries to convince himself that only having Sodapop as a brother is enough and that he doesn't really care about Darry.
